We purchased two of these trucks about 3 years ago for our then 2 year old twin boys. I have to say it is one of the best purchases we have ever made. We have a total of 6 kids (ages 3-11) and still to this day, this is the number one fought over toy. Whenever they are outside they all want to play with these. They have been left in the weather, brought along on vacations, used hard and are still kicking, which is a lot more than I can say for most toys that have been through our household.After 3 years of hard use, they are still in pretty good shape. A few rust marks and dings and the plastic has some sun fade, but still plenty of life left.
