Description
The Volkswagen T2 Pickup is one of many Volkswagen Transporter castings released by Hot Wheels, and is a replication of the 1968 Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter truck as can be seen by the lack of the beetle-inspired V-shaped centerpiece on the front.
This casting is a modified single-cab truck, featuring custom bumpers, sideskirts, and the look of lowered suspension. It is configured as a flatbed, as it is missing the rear and side gates that surround the bed on the real vehicle. The engine cover is also excluded from this casting, leaving the detailed engine exposed at the rear.
