Toy Truck?!

I'm about to go to Walmart to look for a toy truck, to see if I can use it to practice/figure out how it will back up...lol any of you did that? If the toy truck front wheels don't move however, isn't it useless?

Dont go to walmart. You can get a better one at your local truckstop. I did the same thing when i went through school and it helped me so that is a great idea.

Walmart. This one is by Ertl, (yeah, just one 'E') who makes collector quality die cast. Truck stop stamped steel at truck stop prices - nahh.

$12-14 or so.

The wheels roll, but to steer you need to "twist" the truck so it drives in a natural way. Get some straws to make your back-up slot.

Didn't see that one at Walmart. Going to a truck stop now but don't know what to expect. I'm also looking online for remote control ones.....I saw a video on YouTube of a Tamyia semi in action...wow! The lights, flashers, the engine roaring...drop/pin the trailer....but they're freakin expensive!!! (Over $1000)

Going to toy R us as well! lolll

Well, didn't find anything with the front wheels steering. They roll, but they don't steer. :(

You need to manually turn/steer the cab. Us guys can do that, and make a "brrrm brrm" sound that means 450 hp. at the same time!

Ya, I can do that too!! But I wanted a truck with steering wheels! I'm picky like that!! lol

I did the same thing and had trouble finding one with moving steers. The fixed wheeled version will still do à good job teaching you about backing. Truck stops are full of toy trucks right now with the holidays coming up. As for the $1000 r/c trucks, for a MRE $450 you can get the same truck in a kit but it'll take some skill to assemble.

The point of getting a toy truck with steering wheels was to help me understand what happens when you turn the steering wheel left or right, which way the trailer will go. THe R/C ones do just that, but you're right....I don't think I want to start trying to assemble that just to get it cheaper...lol
