Ford x Fisher-Price Power Wheels F-150

being kids these days are nothing short of lucky, especially if they have parents with deep pockets. not only do they get to share the joy of gadgets with grown ups, they even have miniature rides to call their own. and when we say ‘miniature rides’ we meant ride-on toys that are pretty much a replica of the real deal such as the Ford x Fisher-Price Power Wheels F-150 you see here. of course, this is not the first official collaboration between the automaker and the toy maker; in fact, this F-150 is the third generation ride-on toy inspired by the 2015 Ford F-150 that was unveiled at the 2014 North American International Auto Show.
