Much better than expected
I bought this toy for my twin boys for Christmas. They love it! It has lots of working/moving parts, well constructed and the wheels roll amazingly smooth. They have already spent hours and hours playing with it. My husband likes playing with it too. We got a few other Bruder trucks and are just as pleased with them also.
Flimsy truck - not up to Bruder standards
We are big fans of the Bruder trucks for our 3-year old son. Most of them are built of thick, durable, high quality plastic, and have interesting moving parts. We have the cement mixer, the recycling truck, the excavator, the crane and a few others. We highly recommend all of those. They are extremely durable and our son plays with them for hours. However, this particular Bruder item is not up to standards, and is somewhat flimsy. The plastic is either a different material or thinner than what we have come to expect from Bruder. The various attachments such as the chains and the wheel wells for the flatbed are also flimsy. Perhaps Bruder is experimenting with outsourcing to China, or just made some bad decisions with respect to this particular product.
We used to buy Bruder based on pictures on the internet. But now we feel we need to go to the store and poke and prod the product prior to purchasing to make sure the same designers / manfuacturing facility...
Too hard for the younger ones, too boring for the older ones.
Made well, but hasn't held anyone's interest for too long. Our youngest boy can't see how it goes together, and oldest doesn't care about it at all. (Almost 4 and 6 years old). The winch can't really handle the weight of the Jeep, and does project or retract well. External parts don't stay on well either. It gets some play from time to time, but it is too frustrating and doesn't work well enough to play with long. It's marginal.
