“Overall this is a pretty cool set because of the functioning motor, wheels, and the parts like to sloped bricks, engine grill, wedge plate, hoses, and engine bricks. I just wish the set looked more like a tow truck.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“Diving into this Technic tow truck set was exciting, particularly for its functional appeal and nostalgic design reminiscent of an '80s TV show vehicle. The specialized pieces, like the black sloped windshield parts and the dynamic crash mechanism where parts fly off upon impact, added unique touches. The Technic elements enhanced the build, and the aesthetic stickers tied it all together nicely.”
