6x6 All Terrain Tow Truck gives much less than similar sets
Poor value
#78 of 81 Technic sets with 1,000+ pieces
Motors cost a lot but add few pieces, and this motorized tow truck shows it: about 47 pieces per $10 against a typical 77 for big Technic sets, roughly 15% less plastic per dollar, and a price about 79% (roughly $128) above similar contents. A 3.8 of 5 rating, near the bottom of its group, adds to its poor score.
Motorized: motors and hubs cost a lot but add little plastic, so these measures undervalue it.
