Kidkraft Toy Storage
This truck is packed with really cool features, for example it has a REAL FM radio, a working tailgate and lots of room on the truck bed for carrying supplies, it even has cup holders for drinks on those hot summer days and they can take a friend along for the journey! You will also discover that the interior has great little touches like chrome accents, seatbelts and even more storage in the dashboard.
The Power Wheels Ford F150 is capable of reaching a top speed of 5 mph when it is on its highest speed setting and a more modest 2.5 mph on the lower setting and when in reverse. The lower setting is ideal when the children are getting used to steering and controlling the truck using the steering wheel and "gas" pedal. However, on this setting the "Power Wheels Ultimate Terrain Traction" will not function.
So, what is this "Power Wheels Ultimate Terrain Traction?" Quite simply it is a system where by both the rear wheels are powered by the 12 volt battery instead of the usual one allowing the F150 to go "off road." It will perform on all types of surface from wet grass to mud and gravel even small tree roots and mounds pose no problems when in this mode (it must be on the higher speed setting.)

This truck is powered by a special 12 volt battery designed specifically for this toy. Charging should preferably be done overnight to make sure that your little one can have endless fun - I have it from a reliable source that the battery can go for 3 hours of continuous riding if fully charged. In the cab of the F150 there is a working gauge which shows how much "gas" the truck has left so there is no need to run out and your child will love watching to ensure this doesn't happen!
One added bonus is that the seat in the Power Wheels Ford F150 can be adjusted to suit your child and it is roomy enough for 2 kids so friends or siblings can join in the fun
The only grumble I am aware of regarding this ride on is that the plastic wheels are extremely noisy on hard surfaces and can give a bit of a bumpy ride. I have to admit that these niggles came from adults - the kids just have fun!
