Which truck will you pick (only one) 60182 or 60254??

[ks6349]

On condition that you don't want to spend too much budget and want to apply restriction 

for yourself.

Which truck will you pick? only one. I like the front tow of 60254 but I personally dislike 

boats, I like the the whole thing of 60182 but I don't like its red tow truck. 

Which one will you pick?

I think I choose the camper.
I like trucks but I don't have much with boats and besides the trailer looks really simple. Looks like nothing.
For the camper. the Car it's not really my style but the camper itself looks pretty cool.

It’s 60182. Great set & a fantastic truck build.  

[ks6349]

thanks for the comment by @neonic and @Vindicare

I'll probably pick 60182 too

[ks6349]

Right, there are more details for 60182.... I'll get it instead....

Since I don't like the boat, only the tow truck left, it's not worthy to get it

[Collector245]

I think I would pick the 60182.

60182 all the way 

[ks6349]

I hope Lego will release more tow trucks like the style of 60254 but without boat.........

I actually own both of those.  60182 was definitely the better kit.  For a tracker-trailer rig, I thought the cab on the 60254 was a bit small and lacking in details.  I would have preferred something more along the lines of the cab from 60027 the monster truck transporter or something more like the 60254's thematic predecessor, the 60085 4x4 with Powerboat.

@ks6349 As for more towing cabs/transporters, I think the heyday for these was really the Great Vehicles sub theme of CITY circa 2014-2015.  They had quite a range of Transports, Semis and dedicated utility vehicles (tow trucks, cement mixer, garbage truck, logging truck, snow plow).  It was quite a refreshing change from the usual cadre of fire and police vehicles.  Of course they've always done these sorts of vehicles off and on, but it was nice to see a lot of variety hitting the shelves at the same time rather than being the token "non-first responder" truck option on a shelfful of squad cars, ambulances, rescue trucks and emergency helicopters.

I don't know the specific English name for the truck like 60254 or 4943, but I am more interested in the trucks like these two sets.... 

I will get 60254, but not now, keep waiting until Amazon has lightning deals on this. It happens sometimes............

The best deals I saw on Amazon for similar trucks was that Harvest transportation truck which hit $16.99 something. It must be the lowest possible price but I did not get it... because I don't like that Harvest....

I _think_ the term you might be looking for is "Cabover Design" (or COE - Cab over Engine in the US, or in Britain I think they call it Forward Control Design).  That's when the front of the truck is very flat and boxy, the driver is literally sitting directly above the engine (and usually has to climb up a ways to get there), and there's no horizontal engine hood (or bonnet, depending on which side of the Altantic you're on) to speak of.  You often see this in the design of Fire trucks, Grabage trucks and long-haul Tracker-Trailers.  In the US. you see it most on really big vehicles, but in Europe there are quite a few smaller examples as well. 

It that the look you're going for?

yes, you are so right, I am interested in such truck ---  the front of the truck is very flat and boxy,

I am neither in Europe nor USA. But I have this truck too in real life. Is this style only available in 4643 or 60254 ????

[gotoAndLego]

Since you don't like boats, don't get the set with the boat and just modify the truck in the other one if you like it. The only reason for you to get the boat set is if there are parts you really want.

Oh my god! That's exactly what I've been screaming for. Pity that the garage subtheme from 2009 was one and done. I wish they'd bring it back.

60182 is very cute
