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.
