Tonka Toy Work Trucks - They Age With You

Why are Tonka trucks chosen generation after generation? Well in this short article, I will tell you why little tykes (and grown men) love Tonka trucks so much.
First, let's start with the obvious. Tonka trucks are tough, especially the notorious yellow working vehicles.
After all, they were built on this premise when the company started way back in 1947. And let's be real, most kids love to "get their hands dirty" and push their toys to the limit.

So, a rock solid truck is a must.
Now, how upset would you be if your brand new toy broke from "normal" (rough) play? Well, I remember when I was a kid, it simply sucked! All kids care about is if it works day after day and if it is cool looking.
But the parent who spent all that money for the toy wants it to last so the child cannot use that as an excuse to get another truck.

So durability is what Tonka has been providing for over 6 decades.
This adds super play value to a Tonka and that is what parents want if they are going to spend their hard earned cash on a toy.

In fact, these tough (yellow) working vehicles come with a LIFETIME guarantee! This sets any doubt about buying of buying a "piece of junk" aside.

Remember, if you want a toy truck that last, look for the free-wheeling working vehicles that are made of 20-gauge automotive grade steel.
It's these types trucks that built the motto "Tonka Tough." OK, moving on.
Now it's true that most kids don't choose their toy trucks because of their durability.

This brings me to the second core reason kids love Tonka trucks. It's built BIG to tackle the toughest terrain. Almost everyone, and especially kids, are awestruck by the sheer size of things.
Thus, when kids see the the huge tires, scooper, dump bed, etc. on a Tonka, they are instantly attracted to it. Tonka started out with only two styles of vehicles, namely a working steam shovel and a crane. Although Tonka has expanded into many types of toys, it's these heavy duty working type vehicle that have always been associated with Tonka.

Thus, when most people hear the word Tonka they think of MONSTER work trucks that you see on a Discovery Channel show titled "Mega Machines.
" Kids love to watch these massive machines perform incredible feats.
They would just love to jump into a real massive working machine and experience the sheer size and power.

But, not many kids will experience such a thrill even in their lifetime.

So, what's the next best thrill to a real mega machine? A miniature version of that mega machine.
And Tonka has been supplying this thrill for kids for over 60 years.
