Ride-On Trucks for Kids: Pickups, Police Trucks and Construction Trucks

Trucks are a favourite with kids of every age: big wheels, a bed to fill with toys and the feeling of driving something tough. Freddo's kids ride-on trucks fall into three families: licensed pickups, police trucks and construction trucks. Here is how they compare.

Licensed pickup trucks

Model Age Seats Max weight Top speed Remote
Ford Raptor 12V 3 to 6 1 66 lb 5 km/h Yes
Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 24V 3 to 8 2 130 lb 6.5 km/h Yes
Ford F-150 24V 3 to 8 2 130 lb 8 km/h Yes
  • Ford F-150 24V 2-Seater: a classic pickup look with four 90W motors (4WD), puncture-proof EVA tires, leather seats, Bluetooth and FM radio. One of our best sellers.
  • Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 24V: a vintage off-roader with four 90W motors and shock absorbers.
  • Ford Raptor 12V: a compact single-seater for ages 3 to 6, with a parental remote, LED lights and a leather seat.

See all Ford ride-ons and SUVs and pickups.

Construction trucks

Model Age Top speed Ride time Working part
CAT Electric Dump Truck 12V 3 to 6 4 km/h 40 to 50 min Shovel, headlight
CAT Loader 12V 3 to 6 Two speeds 40 to 50 min Front loader
Freddo Excavator 12V 3 to 8 2.5 km/h 60 to 120 min Front bucket, trailer

All three have a parental remote, LED lights and suspension, and take up to 66 lb. Perfect for little builders who want to move sand, leaves and toys around the yard. See all farm and construction ride-ons.

How to choose

  • Ages 3 to 6, one child: a 12V truck with a parental remote, like the Ford Raptor or a CAT construction truck.
  • Two kids or a bigger yard: a 24V two-seater, like the Ford F-150 or Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, up to 130 lb.
  • Construction fans: a CAT dump truck or loader, or the Freddo Excavator.
  • Toddlers: start with a foot-to-floor truck. Read our toddler ride-on guide.

Do kids ride-on trucks have a remote control?

Can the dump truck really carry things?
