First Gear Ram Trucks

Welcome,

    Are First Gear trucks low end or high end? This is a question that is asked often and I always have this to say.

"First Gear is a brand that is beyond high end and the details are above high expectations."

   With this in mind, I would like to add the fact that the models are more for the older collectors. I got my first, First Gear truck when I was either going to 6th grade or already in that grade. The funny thing about my first truck was the fact that it is a truck I find so ugly and don't even like. For those who know me well, know that I do not like the Mack R model. Ever since I was a kid, I just found it to be ugly. Anyway, that truck started my First Gear collection. The other thing I would like to mention is that you have to be very careful with these trucks. Some of them have small parts which could in fact be broken off.


   Now lets get into this new model! For all you First Gear fans, I cannot wait to get my hands on the new Dodge Ram 5500. I'm sure some of you will feel the same way. Take a look at this beauty!

Best part is, another release of it!
Overall, I am excited and will most likely go crazy and get them. The trucks are scaled at 1/34. Yes, there are moving parts. The boom moves up and down plus turns 360 degrees. The boom extends which is a plus if you're setting up a display to showcase these lovely trucks! For those who do customs, the chassis is perfect!

Incase you were wondering, these models are $85 a piece and well worth it!

Thank you for reading and I hope you will find these models to your liking. Info and pictures are from First gears website.

Greenlight All Terrain Series 4

      They are back and so am I! This time we can't be too disappointed, can we? I mean look at the selection!
How about I put them in order of my favorite to least favorite?

1. 2017 Dodge Ram 2500. This will be the second release of this new casting. First one being in red with black. I picked this one as my favorite because it looks amazing. This actually could be a Sema style truck. It looks perfect for off road. The previous Dodge Ram trucks got nothing on this new one!

2. 2015 Chevy Silverado. This beauty is back and look great in this color! Don't get me wrong, but the colors beforehand weren't as beautiful as this one. although, I would love to see this casting in black bandit series.
3. 1941 Military 1/2 ton 4x4. We all know why this one came 3rd. Look at those flames! The truck overall has an amazing appearance to it.

4. 1977 Ford Bronco. This casting would have been #3 if it wasn't for the beefy tires on the 41. This Bronco is probably the best one released by Greenlight to date.


5 and 6 of course are the two keeps. Don't get me wrong, they aren't that bad looking. They aren't models I'm excited about. I think lately there have been on Jeep over kills with Greenlight and Matchbox. Maybe something new next time around to go with the 2017 Dodge Ram? Overall, this series isn't bad. I might as well get a case for myself and pick up an extra Ram! Can't wait to see this hit the stores!
