2013 Hess Truck and Motorized Multi-Terrain Tractor: The Interactivity Pioneer

The 2013 Hess Toy Truck and Motorized Multi-Terrain Tractor set continued the construction and heavy-equipment theme. This model is highly notable for its advanced features on both vehicles and, for the first time, an innovative interactive feature that connected the toy to a digital gaming experience.

Dual Motorized Action and App Connectivity

The 2013 set featured a highly illuminated transport truck carrying a self-propelled tractor designed for heavy lifting. It maintained the high quality expected from Hess while setting a new benchmark for electronic play.
