12V Licensed Ford Ranger Kids Ride On Truck with Parent Remote, 5 Published Speeds, Seat Belt and Headrest, 66 lb, Black

Most ride-on listings say two speeds for the child and three for the parent, and stop there. That leaves you guessing whether the fast setting is a stroll or a sprint.

This one prints all five. Manual mode is 1.8 mph low and 2.4 mph high. Remote mode is 1.9 low, 2.0 medium and 2.3 high. Every figure is below adult walking pace, which is the answer parents are actually looking for.

The speeds in full

Two tables, five numbers. What stands out is that the child's high setting, 2.4 mph, is slightly quicker than the remote's, so an adult taking over always slows the truck down rather than speeding it up.

Who it fits

3 to 6 years and a 66 lb load capacity for the seat, printed beside a child at four feet tall. The truck itself is 41.5 in long and 25 in wide, on 10.5 in wheels.

Battery and motors

A 12 V 7 Ah battery and two motors, with the charging port shown on the body. 7 Ah is the standard pack for a 12 V ride-on, so expect a normal charge cycle rather than a short one.

The media panel

A battery power display, a USB socket, a wireless connection and stored stories, plus dual sound buttons on the wheel. The battery display is the one that saves an argument at the far end of the driveway.

1.8 and 2.4 mph in manual mode, 1.9, 2.0 and 2.3 mph on the remote.

Direction, speed and an emergency brake in an adult's hand.

An ergonomic seat with a belt and a headrest, rated to a 66 lb load.

The truck eases in and eases off, which the maker charts on its own panel.

A single start button with separate speed and direction buttons and a foot pedal.

Music, stories, a USB port, a wireless connection, a battery power display and dual sound buttons.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Five speeds, a seat load and an age band, all printed. Very few ride-on listings give you that much.

The maker's own band, with a 66 lb seat load. At 41.5 in the truck suits the middle of that range best.

Asphalt, rubber, cement and hardwood are the surfaces named. Treaded wheels help, but flat is still the rule.

What we stand behind

• All five speeds, the 66 lb seat load, the 3 to 6 year age range, the battery and the dimensions are the manufacturer's own published figures.
• The Ford Ranger shape is described by the manufacturer as licensed. We claim nothing beyond that.
• An ASTM badge appears on the maker's own panel. No certificate number is published, so none is quoted.
• No run time or charge time is published, so neither is claimed.
• A toy for supervised play on private property. Never on a road, a sidewalk or a bike path.

What are the actual speeds?

In manual mode, 1.8 mph on low and 2.4 mph on high. On the remote, 1.9 mph low, 2.0 medium and 2.3 high. All five are printed on the manufacturer's own panel and all five are below adult walking pace.

What is the weight limit?

The manufacturer publishes a 66 lb load capacity for the seat, with a stated age range of 3 to 6 years.

Can the adult always slow it down?

Yes. The remote's top setting of 2.3 mph is slightly below the child's own 2.4 mph high, so taking control on the handset never speeds the truck up.

How long does it take to charge?

No charge time is published for this model. A 12 V 7 Ah battery typically takes eight to twelve hours according to Canadian retailers, who also advise unplugging once it is full.

Does it play our own music?

There is a USB port and a wireless connection alongside the built-in music and stories, with a battery power display on the same panel.
