In real life, the GMC Denali nameplate stands for the company’s top-of-the-line trucks, but not this time. This scaled electric truck has nothing to do with these big boys. It’s here to make your kid part of the family, in the sense that he can get a taste of what the future may bring.
Isn’t that the reason all these big carmakers find a way around children with smart marketing gigs? Maybe toy replicas of real life vehicles are not here for that purpose, but we can tell you this much, we would have given everything to get one of these instead of those dull pedal cars, back in childhood.
The latest model of the kind takes the shape of the GMC Sierra Denali, complete with LED headlights, chrome-plated wheels, and tread, rubber tires. Like any other replica toy car, details are quite important, and according to Hammacher Schlemmer, this breed makes no exception. It comes with side-view mirrors that fold in to help prevent damage reckless Big Wheel drivers, and a tailgate that opens for hauling loads.
The two front doors open and allow up to two children. OK, it may not be as big as its much greater brother, but this is not about size. The toy truck generates realistic engine roars and horn sounds, and it has built-in dual speakers that play music from any smartphone or iPod via the included auxiliary cable.
Speed, again, is not of great matter. However, the children’s Denali runs at speeds of 2.5 or 5 mph in forward, while going backward won’t get faster than 2.5 mph. Its battery takes about 12 hours to charge, and a full pack will last for two hours of joy.
Not quite Tesla Model S, but it should do the job. Now, all you need is to get $450 and order for one online.
