Bruder Mack Granite Dump Truck


Handsome but not hardy
Shiny & very handsome; what I always wanted as a kid but never got. However, swiveling doors & mirrors are very flimsy plastic, had to be reworked to open easily & are too delicate for 4 or 5 yr. old. Must yank on truck bed to open. Tires & body sturdy but more suitable for indoor play. Front wheels do not turn so truck has to be skidded around curves. Definitely not for child who likes to ride on or crash his trucks. A bit smaller than advertised: 20" L, 6.75" W, 9" Ht. Too bad it isn't made out of metal.Overall more luxurious than practical.
Great Truck Very detailed and durable.
Got this for my 4 1/2 yr old and he loves it. Fanastic detail, just like the real thing. Doors open, hood opens and of course it dumps. I was impressed when my son and his 6yr old cousin, ( who breaks everything he touches) started pushing it around the backyard at max speed and it stood the test but when I accidentally dropped a 5 foot 2x4 on it and there wasn't so much as a scratch I was really suprised. We've had it about 4 months and it's been in the sandbox, the dirt pile and up and the driveway a hundred times and still looks and plays great. Bruder makes great toys. Highly recomended
not a rough boy toy
Bought two for Christmas. Boys are 6 and 4. They love the trucks!! But I DONT!!!! I know that by the end of January something on the truck will be broken. Everthing is plastic and fragile. My boys want to push the trucks all over the place and they can't because the truck wiggles underneath them. So they sit and play with them instead of being active and then they get bored after about 10mins. They will not get the oppurtunity to haul rocks and dirt because it is not sturdy enough for that. A dump truck that can't haul that's handy. What happen to toys made to be played with. Not really worth the money. I should have sent them back and went to Walmart and bought Tonka!!!!
