## Questions & Answers

**Q: why did they stop making it with a metal scoop?  the plastic sucks!**
A: It was a cost cutting move.

**Q: what does FFP in the description mean?**

The packaging comes with the Tonka branding on the front and is great for wrapping, gift giving, opening easily and whether you want to discard or keep, it is durable yet recyclable.

**Q: what scale is it**
A: 8.25 x 21.5 x 9.5 inches (21 x 54.6 x 24.1 cm. I will post another picture with the scale height and width.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A faithful perfect toy
*by J***E on June 9, 2025*

Huge. I would say it's just like I remember but in the 70s I only had two small ones brand new. The mighty dump I had a long with the mighty crane I got very used, dented, battered and rusty, salvaged from trash and was still thrilled to have them.I opted for this one instead of the more expensive one with a little more steel which is still not the same as original.It is awesome. The plastic parts are thick and designed with ....for lack of better words...braces and buttresses to make it super sturdy. I think this is a fine product for anyone. A kid, teen, adult....A lot of the thin or sharp under pieces are now plastic so...hey.... less chances of tetanus or cuts.This morning I cought the cat asleep in the bed but couldn't get a pic fast enough.To people who say things like....four months later they were starting to rust and paint was peeling....guess what....that's also what happened to the ones in the 1970s left outside. The old ones may have rusted more over the decades but scratched steel rusts period. I think a prime reason we left them outside is they're just huge. I know my mom refused to let me bring in the rusty, muddy, dented things.At this price point it's even a nice nostalgic gift for someone in their 50s or 60s. Load it with old fashioned candy and gift it. Will absolutely bring happiness.No need to complain it isn't the exact same. Most things are not 55 years later but THIS is a very fine modern rendition that is absolutely HUGE. Even I had forgotten exactly how big these things are to hold.Get one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by M***S on August 26, 2025*

Nicely made very durable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic toy
*by L***O on May 2, 2025*

Gave this to my 2 year old son on his birthday, he loves it and plays with it every day. It is indeed, heavy duty. He likes us to push him around it in like his own personal chariot! We haven't brought it outside yet, but I assume this will end up being used outside all summer long. I wish it was all metal, but it is mostly plastic, with the main area of the dump being made of metal, I knew this when I bought it, though . Seems to be well made, and I expect it to hold up well for a while. If you're looking for a toy that will be well loved by a 2-5 year old, you can't go wrong with a dump truck!
