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.
