> 3 dayMy 16 month nephew likes this truck a lot! It came completely unassembled, so my husband had to assemble it as well as attach the stickers. It is very durable and the large tires make it glide easily even in gravel.

> 3 dayThis wasnt too hard to put together, the video was helpful., I would recommend at least having someone around to steady pieces at different points. The door didnt exactly align and wont lock. You do have to put all the stickers on but the quality of them is really good and makes it very easy to put them on correctly. My nephew loves it and keeps treasures in the truck bed!

> 3 dayThe truck is much taller than the car. I didnt think about that when I bought it for my 1 1/2 year old grandson. Even my 2 1/2 year old has a hard time reaching the floor. But they still think its awesome!

Greater than one weekI bought this truck for my friends two year old for his birthday. He is a truck loving boy and I figured this was the perfect gift for him as he doesnt already have a riding truck! The truck was an absolute hit at the party and he couldnt have been happier! As some of the other reviews have said, this truck isnt the easiest to put together. Im a semi handy female, but I enlisted the help of a male friend to get everything attached as some of the components needed a little elbow grease to get in. In reading some of the other reviews, people recommend putting as many of the stickers on as possible prior to assembling the truck. I HIGHLY recommend that...just make sure youre not attaching a sticker that needs something drilled underneath it (I made that mistake and now have a headlight with a screw through it). The stickers are extremely sticky and not easy to remove, so make sure theyre lined up to just about where you want them, if not, you might have a hard time getting them unstuck. The hardest part of the assembly was basically just lining up the pieces. The roof was a little difficult because in lining up all 4 corners, everything has to be precise. I recommend putting the roof top down on the ground and attaching it that way. The wheels were also a bit of a pain because the metal portion that attached to the axles and goes into the car didnt slide through easily (there were shards of plastic in the way of getting it in completely), so you have to push through those areas. Once this thing it put together, its an awesome toy. Im only giving a 4 out of 5 stars because I think the quality of the pieces given for assembly could maybe be a bit improved, making the overall process easier. At the party, the kids loved being pushed around on it as well as driving it yabba dabba doo style (as I call it) by using their legs. There is a nice tray that can be put beneath the seat so that the kids legs arent dragging while its being pushed. Overall, a great toy for kids once its put together. I hope it lasts my friends son a long time!

Greater than one weekSon loves this truck. I wish they still made the black one... it looked more realistic and less like a character in a Pixar movie. FYI, you can assemble this WITHOUT the stupid looking eyes if you want. Assembly is relatively simple, but i can see where some have had issues. This is rotomolded plastic, so tolerances arent perfect. Some pieces you just have to muscle into place. Also, as many have commented, some of the parts come pre-scratched. You just have to deal with it. My son was scratching this thing from the minute we put it to use anyway. Tailgate and drivers side door operate. Theres a functioning gas cap as well. Two cup holders behind drivers seat, and the truck bed section behind the tailgate has what looks like four pre-drilled holes to mount a trailer hitch. If youre looking at the trailer accessory, i think it would work with this truck. The door latch is somewhat difficult to maintain latched, but your only other option is to permanently screw the drivers door closed (thats an option in the assembly instructions). Wife took it to the park with my son and a bunch of other kids and they played with it all day, often pushing each other around. Theyre too young to power it themselves (Flintstones style), so i keep the floor board in for now.

> 3 dayWe bought this for my sons birthday. He loves it. Its equally easy for the kids to drive as it is for parents to push it. My son maneuvers it with ease around corners. A huge advantage of the truck over the other cozy coupes is the truck bed. The tailgate works so thats fun for kids to open/close, but most importantly it provides a good amount of space for their stuff. My son has race cars and other things in the back of his truck all the time. Also, this vehicle is bigger in size that the cozy coupes which are pretty small, so youll be able to use it longer as the kids get bigger. The only thing I dont love is the door because the latch thats included to keep it shut slides super easily so the door swings open on its own even when its locked. Its not a huge deal for older toddlers, but could be a safety issue for younger children.

> 3 dayIm the Grandma and purchased this for our 2 year old grandson as I thought it would be a nice transition from something we push (even though this does have a handle for those instances) to him using his own feet as the peddle power I usually have no problems assembling these sorts of scooters/cars/trucks but this turned out to be a nightmare. I would suggest watching and following the video on the Little Tikes website for assembly, , not the paper booklet that comes with this truck. The video assembly is in a different order which seems to make much better sense. Other issues that I encountered: The O ring was a bit too wide, thus preventing positioning of the white steering clip under the O ring (which is absolutely necessary in order for the steering wheel to stay in place) I ended up using a Zip tie through the pre-drilled holes where the two ends of the steering clip should have gone. Also had a problem with the 2 screw/tabs used to secure the floorboard into place. The instructions show they easily snap into the predrilled holes--alas, not the case! It is a great ride on/ push truck, but we will only be able to use it a few times due to the 25 lb weight limit.

> 3 dayI could not love this more! We bought this for our grandson’s 1st birthday and it’s just darling. Easy to put together when you scan the code on the front of the instruction manual which takes you to a video with step by step instructions. So easy to follow and love the visual. Didn’t use the printed instruction manual at all. Buy this!

Greater than one weekLove the truck, as do my kids. Unfortunately, the gas cap was damaged straight from the box. So far,despite emails to the manufacturer, i havent been able to get a replacement part.
