Monster Truck Transporter

The Monster Truck Transporter is a 2013 LEGO® City set that carries a compact monster truck with oversized wheels to a show or off-road site. A red tractor unit with a tipping trailer handles transport, while the monster truck itself is built as a separate model. At 307 pieces and 3 minifigures, the set covers two vehicles at once.

Description

Two vehicles in one set

The build splits into a red tractor with a cab and tipping trailer bed, plus a standalone monster truck with noticeably oversized wheels and a short, sturdy chassis. Red dominates the tractor unit, while black, light grey and dark bluish grey cover the monster truck and technical details such as tyres, bumpers and frame sections. This split between transporter and cargo makes the set unusually versatile, since it produces two independently playable vehicles rather than just one, which adds real play value compared with a single-vehicle set.

Loading it like the real thing

The transporter's trailer bed tips or lowers so the monster truck can drive on and off under its own wheels, much like a real vehicle transporter at a show or fairground. With 134 unique parts across 307 pieces, the set offers above-average shape variety for its size, visible in the different wheels, suspension pieces and the moving trailer bed itself. That function turns the transporter into more than a static display model.

Colours and parts

Red, black, light grey and dark bluish grey make a contrast-rich but everyday combination that combines well with other City vehicles, for example in a larger fleet or show-ground scene. This page lists all 134 parts in the set with their colours, making it easy to search for specific wheels, frame or body pieces, whether for a custom rebuild or as spares for another model, and the grey frame pieces reuse well in other truck-style projects.

Who this set suits

The Monster Truck Transporter suits children who like oversized wheels and powerful vehicles, plus anyone who enjoys building two models instead of one from a single set. At 307 pieces, the build fits into a manageable session, and the three minifigures cover both the transporter driver and the monster truck driver, supporting small show or race scenes from loading the transporter through to the monster truck's big arena entrance.
