2006 Hess Mini 18-Wheeler & Racer: The Miniature Transport Duo

The 2006 Hess Miniature 18-Wheeler & Racer was a standard entry in the Hess Mini Series, replicating a previous full-size holiday toy. It followed the successful two-in-one format, providing miniature versions of both the transport truck and its high-speed cargo.

Small-Scale Replica of the 1992 Model

This mini set is a scaled-down replica of the 1992 Hess 18-Wheeler and Racer—the full-size truck featuring the enclosed box trailer that carried a racer. Like all Minis, this model is celebrated for maintaining the electronic features and detail of its larger counterpart despite its reduced size.
