Hess 2013 Toy Truck & Tractor – Motorized, Lighted, Multi-Terrain Vehicle

Overview

The 2013 Hess Toy Truck and Tractor blends a chrome‑bright truck and trailer with rugged, real‑world play possibilities. A fully motorized rubber track drives the tractor forward or in reverse, while the truck bed hides a clever rear ramp for easy loading. Lights and four authentic sounds—ignition/idle, horn, backup alert, and ramp activation—bring action and realism to pretend construction sites and displays alike. An exciting new feature links play to the Hess Tractor Trek app, adding a digital dimension without compromising the tactile, hands‑on appeal.
