The Brick Fan
“Overall, the LEGO Technic Heavy-Duty Tow Truck (42128) has lots of features similar to what the older Technic sets had. I will say that this was the most complicated Technic set that I’ve built.”

Bricksfanz
“The Tow Truck is styled after those more commonly found in the US. They are often made by Kenworth or for those of a certain age, think the Rhino truck from M.A.S.K. So the cab features a long bonnet nose, which can be flipped forward to reveal the engine.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
