Get ready for a rush of excitement because the Hess Toy Truck is back to celebrate its diamond jubilee! For the sixtieth year, Hess is releasing a spectacular 2024 Hess Fire Truck with Car and Motorcycle, a commemorative Car Toy set packaged in a special anniversary box. This isn’t just any car toy; it’s the most feature-rich holiday Hess Toy Truck team ever created, designed to ignite imaginations with animated lights, realistic sounds, powerful motors, and stunning chrome accents.
This year’s classic red, cab-forward fire truck is a sight to behold. It’s beautifully detailed with crisp white striping along the sides, sparkling chrome elements, a bright emergency light bar, powerful searchlights, and an impressive, towering ladder. Kids and collectors alike will be amazed by the interactive features. Located on the cab top are four buttons, each activating a unique and realistic sound – from a powerful truck horn to European and traditional emergency sirens, and even the rumble of an engine starting and idling. Each sound is perfectly synchronized with a distinct animated light pattern, adding to the immersive play experience. For even more visual excitement, a switch on the truck’s underside controls 43 vibrant red, white, and blue emergency lights, offering both steady and flashing modes.
The fire truck’s triple-tier aerial extension ladder is another highlight. It features a satisfying click-turn 360˚ rotation and a 60˚ elevation, extending to over 15 inches, making it perfect for reaching even the trickiest imaginary rescues. Adding to the realism, the ladder is equipped with two super-bright, multi-directional searchlights. Each searchlight boasts a click-turn 180˚ vertical and 270˚ horizontal rotation, ensuring maximum visibility during playtime scenarios. The truck also cleverly houses its team vehicles. Two illuminated transport compartments hold the fire chief car and the motorcycle. The car is accessed through a button-release rear lift gate and a pull-out ramp that even triggers a motion-activated hydraulic sound effect! The motorcycle is easily deployed with a quick button press above the dual-purpose fold-down ramp doors on either side of the truck. As a special 60th-anniversary car toy, a commemorative illuminated ‘60’ insignia is proudly embedded in the front grille and embossed on the side ramp doors.
The included fire chief car is a car toy in its own right, sporting a dynamic ‘racing-style’ white stripe design. Its sleek aesthetic is enhanced by a rear spoiler, tinted windows, and an array of chrome accessories, including an emergency light bar, front and rear bumpers, and stylish wheel covers. A switch on the car’s underside activates 37 multicolored lights in the grille, bumper, emergency bar, and side running lights, all in a steady mode. And when speed is needed, the car’s speedy pull-back motor ensures a rapid response to any make-believe emergency.
Completing this heroic trio is the red rescue-style motorcycle. It comes with a rider figure dressed in a safety suit with white piping and a chrome firefighting backpack. A fun, interactive element is the helmet activation – turning the rider’s helmet switches on the motorcycle’s 4 head and taillights in steady-on mode. The ‘rev-and-release’ friction motor provides high-speed action, propelling the bike forward in either a flat or wheelie position, adding another layer of dynamic play to this car toy set.
The 2024 60th Anniversary Hess Fire Truck with Car and Motorcycle is more than just a toy; it’s a celebration of a classic. This feature-packed car toy is available exclusively at HessToyTruck.com for $45.99 plus tax, with free standard shipping* and Energizer® batteries included.
