Fearing the day you first hear the kids ask, "Can I borrow the truck?" Beat them to it. Buy 'em their own. The Power Wheels Silverado is F-P's biggest offering, with two forward speeds (stroll and brisk walk) and reverse. Assembly takes about a day, if the kids help, and only about an hour if you read the instructions. Two electric motors, juiced by a motorcycle battery, provide power to the rear wheels. What a great opportunity to stress safe-driving techniques to the youngsters. "Hey, Junior, watch those hand signals!"
