Product Review: Mack Granite Tanker Truck
The Mack Granite Tanker Truck is BRUDER's most recent addition to their Mack fleet, and it doesn't disappoint. This model immediately stands out with its appealing combination of a cab featuring a chrome-look and a fully functional tank. It's a visually impressive and highly detailed toy vehicle.
Design and Features
One of the first things you'll notice about the Mack Granite Tanker Truck is the opening doors, giving it a realistic feel for young drivers. The cab is brimming with options, including an opening bonnet and foldable outside mirrors, allowing for imaginative and interactive play. The chrome-look features add an extra touch of authenticity and appeal.
Functional Tank
The fully functional tank body brings a new level of excitement. Children can fill water into the integrated tank, build up pressure using the manually operated compressed-air pump, and then control the water flow through the hose with the locking lever and draining unit. This kind of detailed functionality makes the playtime experience both educational and fun.

The truck tank trailer (item no. 03925 sold separately) is an ideal supplement, creating a nearly one-meter-long vehicle combination. Furthermore, numerous bworld toy figures can be added to enhance play. These figures can use the rear ladder to inspect the tank, adding to the realism. The model is also compatible with light and sound modules (item no. 02801 or 02802 sold separately), which further amplify the play experience.
Conclusion
The Mack Granite Tanker Truck by BRUDER offers a highly engaging and realistic play experience.
