For fans of North American custom truck culture, the Grand Hauler's oversized, heavily chromed styling delivers serious road presence, backed by genuinely mechanical 3 speed, differential driven engineering underneath.

Build your own North American style custom big rig with the Tamiya Grand Hauler.

Please note this is an unassembled kit requiring construction, so builders should expect to assemble the ladder frame chassis and driveline before driving, and this kit requires a 4 channel radio system rather than the standard 2 channel setup.

This model recreates a massive, boxy customised truck in the style of those seen across North America, with a front mounted motor and 3 speed transmission powering the two rear wheel axles, each fitted with a built in differential for smooth cornering.

Customised mood is enhanced throughout with metal plated parts, including the front bumper, radiator grille, roof horn and light bezel, and a bulky sun visor over the cab. Photo etched parts add further detail to the oversized air cleaners, while plated side mirrors with kerb mirrors and moving metal stays allow position adjustment. The ladder frame chassis features aluminium side channels with resin cross members and realistic suspension using metal leaf springs and friction dampers, and a lowered step provides a convenient storage location for an optional Multi-Function Control unit.
