LEGO® Tow Truck 8285, released in August 2006, is a part of the Technic theme and boasts an impressive 1877 pieces. This fully-functional Tow Truck features rack and pinion front wheel steering, an operating crane, winch, and lift, making it a realistic and authentic model for skilled builders. The rear telescopic towing mechanism lifts pneumatically to rescue stranded vehicles, while the ratchet-regulated winch secures the load. The detailed V6 engine with moving pistons and spinning radiator fan can be revealed by opening the hood, and side compartments conceal manual controls for raising the hook or extending and lowering the boom. Measuring over 26" (66cm) long, this Tow Truck is a must-have for any LEGO enthusiast. LEGO 8285 also includes building instructions to rebuild into a heavy load flat-bed truck, as well as instructions for integrating the #8287 Motor Set (sold separately) into the alternate model. The motor will lift and lower the arm and pull the string up and down, adding an extra level of functionality to this impressive set. With its attention to detail and realistic features, LEGO 8285 is a standout addition to any LEGO collection.
