Bruder
Bruder makes the kind of toy vehicles you can hand down. Each truck, tractor, excavator, and fire engine is built in Germany at 1:16 scale with the kind of mechanical detail you don’t usually find in the toy aisle — working hydraulics, opening doors, steerable wheels, tipping beds. Drop one on the driveway, hose it off, and it’ll be ready for another decade of play.
The lineup is deep. Bruder’s tractor and farm equipment line is a favorite for rural kids and grandkids of farmers — accurate replicas of John Deere, Massey Ferguson, Claas, and Fendt models, with attachments and trailers that work like the real thing. The construction series covers excavators, dump trucks, loaders, and cement mixers from CAT, Liebherr, and Mack. Fire engines, garbage trucks, and emergency vehicles round out the urban side, including some with light-and-sound modules.
Bruder vehicles aren’t cheap, but they’re not meant to be. They’re built for years of hard play, and they’re the kind of toy kids genuinely value and remember. Browse the collection below, or stop by our Greensboro store to see the build quality up close — photos really don’t do them justice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Bruder toys different?
Bruder builds its trucks, tractors, excavators, and fire engines in Germany at 1:16 scale with real mechanical detail — working hydraulics, opening doors, steerable wheels, and tipping beds. They’re modeled on actual commercial vehicles, so the function isn’t decorative; the parts genuinely move and work the way the real machines do.
Are Bruder vehicles durable enough for outdoor play?
Yes — that’s the whole idea. They’re made from tough ABS plastic designed to take real play, indoors or out. Drop one on the driveway, hose it off, and it’s ready to go again. These are built to be handed down, not replaced every year.
Do Bruder toys need batteries?
No. The core appeal is purely mechanical — kids work the hydraulics, beds, and steering by hand, with no batteries or screens required. (Bruder does sell add-on light-and-sound modules separately if you want them, but the vehicles themselves don’t need power.)
What age are Bruder toys for?
They’re generally suited to preschoolers and up, with the working parts sized for kids’ hands. Always check the age rating on the specific vehicle, since the more detailed models can include smaller components.
