You’d be hard pressed to find any kid that didn’t grow up playing with those iconic, bright yellow Tonka trucks. Even today, little ones around the world still live out their construction yard fantasies with toys that haven’t changed a whole lot over the last several decades. It’s hard to improve upon perfection.

Thanks to the 200 Tonka F-150’s that have been produced for 2016, we can continue to play with Tonka trucks as adults too. In case innocent bystanders can’t figure out “What the hell is that truck with the blazing yellow paint?” There are plenty of over-sized logos everywhere to clue them in.

To add to the visual appeal, the Tonka F-150 has been lifted 6″ and rolls on exclusive-to-this-truck 20″ black alloy wheels and BF Goodrich K02 LT325/60R20 tires. Other upgrades include tuned Tuscany Performance shocks, a black Tonka LED light bar, performance exhaust, and custom bumpers.

The real fun from this toy comes from what lies under the hood – a 700 horsepower, supercharged Shelby 5.0 Coyote.  It’s the same powerplant you can get in the Shelby F-150, and it also comes with a 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty.

All of this Tonka goodness doesn’t come cheap, and they won’t exactly be easy to find on your local Ford dealer’s lot.  If you have the means and the desire to continue to live out your childhood fantasies, you can grab this one here.
