Tonka Toy Work Vehicles: Built To Last A Lifetime...Literally
Why do kids keep choosing Tonka Trucks for over 60 years? Well in this short article, I will tell you why children (and grown men) love Tonka trucks so much.
First, let's start with the obvious. Tonka trucks are sturdy, especially the notorious yellow working vehicles. After all, they were built on this premise when the company started way back in 1947. And let's not lie to ourselves, most kids love to
"get dirty" and push their toys to the limit. So, a solid truck is a must.
Now, how sad would you be if your brand new toy broke from "normal" (rough) play? Well, I remember when I was a kid, it was the worst moment of my life (remember this is according to a child)! All children care about is if it works when it's playtime and if it has a cool look. But the parent who invested in the toy wants it to last so the kid cannot use that as an excuse to get another toy. So durability is what Tonka has been providing for over 60 years. This adds huge play value to a Tonka and that is what parents want if they are going to spend their hard earned cash on a toy.
Tonka is so sure their trucks will last they give you a LIFETIME guarantee (not all Tonka's have this so look for it). This sets any doubt about buying of buying a "piece of junk" aside.
Remember, if you want a toy truck that last, look for the free-wheeling working vehicles that are made of 20-gauge automotive grade steel. It's these types trucks that built the motto "Tonka Tough."
OK, moving on. Now it's true that most kids don't choose their toy trucks because of their durability. This brings me to the second core reason kids love Tonka trucks. The size of the truck.
Almost everyone, and especially kids, are awestruck by the sheer size of things. Thus, when kids see the the huge tires, scooper, dump bed, etc. on a Tonka, they are instantly attracted to it.
Tonka first started out with only two styles of vehicles, namely a working steam shovel and a crane. Although Tonka has expanded into many types of toys, it's these heavy duty working type vehicle that have always been associated with Tonka. Thus, when most people hear the word Tonka they think of MONSTER work trucks that you see on a Discovery Channel show titled "Mega Machines."
Kids love to watch these massive machines perform incredible feats. They would just just be thrilled to death if they could jump into a real massive working machine and experience the sheer size and power.
But, you would be one of the lucky ones if you could actually experience a real life "Tonka.". So, what's the next best thrill to a real mega machine? A toy Tonka truck. And Tonka has been supplying this thrill for kids for over 60 years.
