> 24 hourMy daughter loves her truck! The assembly booklet was a little hard to understand and there were a couple of dents and small scratches on the plastic parts but the stickers covered them.

> 24 hourSo as mentioned by others roof is tricky to put together. I tried following the directions twice. One of the rear supports went in fine the other wouldnt line up, and left a gap. I took everything apart and tried a different approach, which I found to work better. Lay the roof on its top and insert the rear roof supports, once they are in place and the seams and edges line up correctly secure them in place with the screws provided. Now go back and follow the steps to attach the roof to the front cab supports, the rear supports should be flexible enough to slide inside the cab area. If the front supports dont lock into place right away they will when you lift,the rear supports into place. After doing this everything should be lined up properly. Also put as many stickers as you can on before assembly begins, its a lot easier to put the grill stickers on when the grill is laying flat on the kitchen table. As others have said there are some holes that are not predrilled, but in an age where a cordless drill is $30 what is your excuse for not having one? Overall I found this easy to assemble, and my son should get years of fun out of it. I have tried to make it a bit more real by not installing the eyes or the mouth sticker in the grill. A quick trip to the junk yard scored me a 2003 Ram hood badge and two HEMI fender badges which with some automotive molding tape should make it a proper first truck. I found those fit best as a set, though Im sure a blue oval or bowtie will fit on the grill as well. Finally this is a Christmas present, I gave me son the box, today a month early. He isnt two yet and therefore doesnt realize what the box means for him. This way he has a month of box time, and on Christmas morning you wont have to watch your child play with the box instead of the toy. I recommend this to all!

> 24 hourMy grandson loves this truck. He is one. The only problem is that the door comes off very easily when it isn’t locked. It shouldn’t fall off like that.

> 24 hourThe clip would not pass the second layer of plastic. Gave up and just used two zip ties instead. It might even be more study now with zip ties than the difficult clips that were included.

> 24 hourI bought this for my nephews 1st Birthday and he absolutely loved it. He refuses to get out. I must warn you on a few things before buying this product. You WILL need a drill with a Philips head. The instruction say its optional but it makes it a whole lot easier to build. Youll also need a hammer. Secondly, check all the parts before assembling it. I got a repeated part and was missing one in its place. It was a superficial piece that was more for aesthetics than function so Im not that mad. Lastly, the box was delivered in the sorriest shape you can imagine. It looked really beaten up, dirty and the best part is that it was opened. Not from being reburbished but from poor handling. So the toy came dirty and scratched up. The door for the car doesnt fit properly so it wont line up just right and will easily fall out if your kid hangs from it or is too rough when you handles things. The bottom piece that prevents the childs feet from hanging is so awesome. Really easier to put on and take off. Over all it took us 30minutes to put together with a drill. Instructions are easy to read and have lots of pictures. The product says that the wheels make it easier to move on rough terrain. I dont recommend it. Its a bit difficult to push on grass and runs nice on hard dirt or street pavement. The wheels tremble for for some reason when Im pushing him on mine. Only when its not on smooth surface and only one wheel. The top has a handle to hold onto to push them and a slot that fits a large phone nicely. Cup holders, tailgate... Cute features. perfext gift. I had one as a kid and loved it and now my nephew has one and lives in it.

> 24 hourI was so excited when I found this truck for our son. Our daughter had a traditional cozy coupe 8 years ago, but this one is adorable. I am so glad they did something new. The colors are exactly as shown. I assembled the truck alone and did not have any MAJOR issues with it. If you are even SLIGHTLY handy with tools you should have no problems. There are pieces that do not line up perfectly and have to be forced. There were also pieces that we had to drill new holes for because they were not pre-drilled or did not line up enough to force. It did take about an hour or so alone but I enjoy putting things together so that did not bother me. It was also worth it because the truck is awesome. If you follow the instructions, you should not have problems. They are very specific. I did not have issues with the wheels not touching the ground or any other things that other reviewers had noted. We used our inside for a bit and now it is for outside. I will say it does need to stay out of the sun mostly. We forgot ours in the yard for a few days and some of the stickers started peeling, but no big deal to us. I love the floor piece, too. Our son is not tall enough yet to push it with his feet so we have to floor piece in and he loves riding in it. It is really easy to push and control. Our 8 year old even pushes him around in the grass pretty easily. I would recommend this truck to anyone with small kids. Boys and girls!

> 24 hourOh boy! This little 20 month old toddler lost his little mind when he looked into the room where I had parked THE TRUCK. (whew, and after assembling it while he and Mom were not here. Now he even sits in it to watch TV shows, take his bottle or juicy-box, etc. He loves the door---open and shut, open and shut...and the horn is hilarious! (not annoying at all) So get your little tyke a LITTLE TIKES TRUCK.

> 24 hourThis is a little tykes car so of course it is well-made and cute. It also is sturdy and easy to maneuver however, when trying to put it together for my grandson‘s birthday lo and behold it was missing two of the pieces that hold the roof up so I was unable to present it to him on his birthday. Very disappointing. I called little tykes and they took about 30 minutes on the phone, but I did finally get them to send me two major pieces that are missing. I haven’t received the pieces yet, but hoping for the best.

> 24 hourWe love that this style has a floorboard that easily comes on and off. Siblings can push a younger child with out fear they will break a foot! Wis( it had some kind o& seat belt, though.
