The iconic Hess Flatbed Truck is back for 2022, and this year it’s hauling some serious heat! Exclusively available at HessToyTruck.com, the 2022 Hess Flatbed Truck with Hot Rods is priced at $41.99, including free standard shipping and 9 Energizer® batteries to power up the fun straight out of the box. This year’s release is already garnering accolades, having received the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Portfolio’s Platinum Best Toy Award and Toy Insider’s 2022 Top Holiday Toy Award, cementing its status as a must-have holiday gift.
This year’s Hess Flatbed Truck is designed as a vintage transport carrier, bringing with it a nostalgic charm combined with modern toy technology. The green and white flatbed truck is richly detailed with sparkling chrome accents and embossed markings, enhancing its classic aesthetic. It’s not just about looks, though; this flatbed truck is packed with interactive features, including flashing lights and four realistic sounds that bring playtime to life. The set also includes not one, but two hot rod racers ready to roll off the truck’s pull-out ramp and zoom into action.
The accompanying Hot Rods are where the real speed and style come in. You get a dynamic duo: one in vibrant red and the other in matching green, ensuring twice the racing excitement. These aren’t just static models; they’re built for action with mighty pull-back motors that allow for impressive wheelie-popping action. The exposed chrome supercharged engines add a layer of realistic detail that car enthusiasts and kids alike will appreciate. Racing stripes, bold flame graphics, and nine steady-on lights on each hot rod complete their sizzling, speed-inspired design.
Beyond the excitement of the toy itself, purchasing the 2022 Hess Flatbed Truck also provides an opportunity to give back. In celebration of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation’s 75th Anniversary, Hess Corporation is partnering with its customers to support children in need. For every Hess Flatbed Truck donated to Toys for Tots through HessToyTruck.com, Hess will match it with another donation, aiming for a combined total of 75,000 toys. This initiative builds on Hess’s 15-year partnership with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, through which they have already donated over 1 million toy trucks.
Continuing their commitment to education, Hess is also providing approximately 20,000 toy trucks to classrooms nationwide. The 2022 edition comes with an updated STEM curriculum guide, designed to use the flatbed truck and hot rods as a hands-on STEM learning tool. Educators can apply for a free set of 12 toys and download the curriculum guide at HessToyTruck.com/STEM, making this flatbed truck not just a toy, but also a valuable educational resource.
