Greenlight Hitch & Tow 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne & Flatbed Trailer


Everyone's talking about the Greenlight Hitch & Tow Series, and for good reason- they're great. Of particular interest to myself was this Cheyenne pickup and flatbed trailer, my high school rock band having played on such a setup for outdoor parties in my youth. Good times!


Greenlight produced another flatbed setup recently with an orange Chevy C-10 pickup that has a little more visual pizzazz, but this black & white Cheyenne has authentic detailing that can't be ignored. My single nitpick would be the white wheels, not as much for the color choice but the plastic-y material- and the aluminum hubcap lacks impact. Could probably fix that if you're a customizer. Still, a cool truck...





The Country Roads Series 1976 Dodge B-100 Van looks right at home on this flatbed trailer...



The trailer jack is threaded and can be twisted to lower onto the truck's hitch. Somewhat pointless at 1:64 scale, but it works. The ramps cup over the rails on the trailer so you can roll a vehicle onto the flatbed. I must also note the subtle but attentive detailing in the flatbed itself, textured like wood, with  aluminum colored wheel covers and black diecast base. Not bad...



And just for fun, the Hot Pursuit Series 1974 Dodge Monaco loaded up on the flatbed....
Thanks for reading!
