NEW FOR 2020
To The Rescue Hess Truck unveils its first ever ambulance BY ANTHONY MURRAY
amurray@antonmediagroup.com
T
he 2020 Hess Ambulance & Rescue is rushing to the holiday scene this year just in time to brighten up the holidays. This heroic and versatile pair of first responder vehicles, although coincidental, but also very fitting for a year where there is a worldwide pandemic, is designed to deliver aid wherever the need may be. Clearing the way with nearly 100 lights, which is the most ever on a holiday Hess Toy Truck, four different emergency siren/flashing light combinations, and off-road wheelie-popping action will have people of any age fall in love with this year’s annual tradition. Hess’ first-ever ambulance pays tribute to all the first responders who are there for us when we need them most. The heavy-duty Type I truckstyle medical transport includes an oversized passenger compartment that doubles as a carrier for its rescue partner. Designed for high visibility, the bright, attention-grabbing red and white cab coloring is accompanied by an eye-popping 70 lights. For the first time ever, four different flashing light patterns are included; each activated in tandem with a unique siren sound via the four cab-mounted buttons. A switch under the chassis activates lights in steady mode and for the first time ever, there is a mute
mode that is included to keep the lights flashing without the accompanying siren sounds. The sparkling chrome accents add impressive detail to the heroic vehicle. A top-mounted button at the rear of the see-through passenger compartment releases the rear door which acts as a ramp for the rescue. The accompanying rescue is a rugged on/off-roader pickup truck with a fold-down tailgate and a pull-back motor that can be revved-up and released to create fun wheelie-popping action. Its bright red color is complemented with sparkling chromelook accents and another 26 lights that work in steady mode. The 2020 Hess Ambulance and Rescue is sold exclusively at HessToyTruck.com, for $36.99 plus tax. Six Energizer batteries and free standard shipping are included.
