The iconic Hess toy truck is back for 2019 with the Tow Truck Rescue team, a pair of roadside-assist vehicles packed with rich features: triple towing action, four realistic sounds, over 60 brilliant LED lights, and a speedy push-friction motor. The big rig is a mighty flatbed carrier that transforms into a heavy-duty wrecker outfitted with two different towing options: a rugged, two-tier extending tow arm with a double-hook and a separate, wheel-lift tow that extends out from the rear chassis. Roof mounted buttons activate three realistic sounds (engine, horn, and backup alert), and a there’s a hidden, pull-out ramp that triggers an additional authentic hydraulic sound.
