Hess Toy Trucks were first introduced in 1964 by Leon Hess. Hess owned a fleet of work vehicles that delivered fuel in New Jersey. Over the years, the business grew and expanded, and eventually, Hess opened a fuel station. 

After being struck with the desire to offer a toy that was of good quality and affordable to his customers, Hess created the very first Hess Toy Truck. Hess was determined to offer a product of the highest quality and with the best electronic elements. It was also important to Hess that the toy was priced so that all families could afford it and that the toy included batteries. 

These foundational principles are still held and have made the Hess Toy Truck a holiday classic. The beloved Hess Toy Truck is one of the best-selling and oldest-running toy brands in the United States. Nearly 60 years after it was first introduced, the toy is still highly sought after. 

The first holiday Hess Toy Truck was a replica of the very first B61 Mac Truck that Leon Hess owned in his oil company. The toy truck was truly ahead of its time as far as all the electronic features were concerned. The toy featured working taillights and headlights, a cargo tank that could be filled and emptied with a rubber hose that was included, and a switch that controlled the lights.

Since the very first Hess Toy Truck was released in 1964, the company has released a new, special holiday truck every year. Each year, the special holiday truck sells out and is only released in limited quantity. This is a tradition that has kept customers coming back and carrying on for generations. 

The newest Hess Toy Truck has recently been released and is sure to sell out fast. This holiday release is proving to be better than ever and features a three-vehicle team. The vehicles included are a racing team and feature vintage design. 

Included in the 2022 Hess Toy Truck holiday trio is a twin-axle Flatbed Truck, designed to transport and inspired by the original truck that was driven by Mr. Leon Hess himself in 1933. To complete the holiday set are two classic-coupe Hot Rods, one red and the other green.

The Hot Rods include a pullback motor and are designed for speed and traction. The Hot Rods will zip and zoom in not only in a straight position but in a wheelie position as well. In total, the Hess holiday trucks have 42 lights and four realistic sounds. 

The Hess Toy Truck is suitable for anyone of all ages and offers a comforting bit of nostalgia. Year after year, the holiday release of Hess Toy Trucks has been cherished and highly anticipated. This year is no different and may be the best holiday release yet.
