What Will The Hess Truck 2017 Look Like?
No one knows for sure what the the 2017 Hess truck will be. It is a closely guarded secret by the Hess company. However looking at past Hess trucks you can get a idea. Here is the official HESS poster featuring all the Hess Toy Trucks since the very first 1964 Hess truck until the 2014 Hess truck. (This poster was released for the the Hess trucks 50th Anniversary. Only the 2015 Hess Fire truck and 2016 Hess Truck with Dragster are missing in this rare and official Hess poster.)
Since the first Hess truck was released in 1964 Hess oil company has been releasing a Hess toy truck almost every year resembling a vehicle from the Hess Corporations vast fleet vehicles. So the Hess truck 2017 will probably we one representing one of their company vehicles. In recent years they have been fond of releasing a flatbed transport kind of toy truck that transports the a smaller toy vehicle that comes with it.
According to Hess, it normally takes about two to three years from initial concepts until the Hess truck is released to the market. Some Hess truck have taken even more time, like even 6 years from concept to market! So who knows as we speak and look forward to the 2017 Hess truck, Hess toy factory right now is likely working on the 2018 Hess truck and maybe even the 2019 Hess truck and beyond. Who knows!
You haven’t had any tow trucks yet, how about maybe a heavy duty tow truck for 2017?
A tow truck would be very cool, with a smaller vehicle for towing
I always puchase 3, for grandkids, but I know an adult who would certainly think it is over the top!
This may sound crazy but how about a fire department tug boat with rescue zodiac included.
An idea is maybe a hess police truck!?
Please let me know when the new hess trucks are available
Feeling the tow truck
They should make a big snow plow truck
I like the big snowplow truck too!!!
oh oh, I like that too….maybe the tow truck could have a detachable plow?
A Volkswagen Bug
A crane truck
I missed the 2014 hess truck so I’m hoping in 2017 it will be space themed
How can I purchase a copy of the 50th poster?
Last year we were able to be put on a wait list and the e-mailed when we could order the 2016 truck, will that be the same this year?
My daughter always bought one for Christmas for my grandson. Sadly she passed away but I have kept up her tradition. Can’t wait to get the 2017 truck
Please to the powers that be, let me know when 2017 truck goes on sale!!!
I like the idea of a big snowplow truck!!!
I think we stick to reality and do what Hess really does,and make only fuel trucks KEEP IT REAL.
I buy my 3nephews a Hess vehicle for Christmas every year
You haven’t had any firetrucks in a while. How about it Hess
I would like to see a new police or rescue vehicle for 2017
i think that there might be a truck with a car and rocket
A tugboat barge idea would get back to the marine them long overdue.
My husband has a model a large hess model that this guy made from different parts of the hess truck only a few made
My son has every Hess truck since the year he was born (2003) & some older ones that I was able to get on eBay. EVERY year, the new Hess truck, has & always will be, the very first thing on his Christmas list! I’ve always gotten the truck on the first day it was available (in the stores & later on online) & hidden it from my son so that, in his earlier years, “Santa” wouldn’t forget it. One year Santa forgot to deliver it and, a few hours after all the gifts had been opened, he looked kinda sad & said, “Mama, Santa didn’t bring me a Hess truck this year”. My husband and I looked at each other and was like” WHAT?!?” because we knew we had gotten it! So we went on a treasure hunt looking for where we had hidden it, we found it…about THREE HOURS later!
I’m so excited to see what the 2017 truck looks like that, it’s currently 8:40 in the morning (EST) & I’m sitting here with the website already pulled up, counting down the time until 10:00 when they go on sell!

I’m not sure why the date & time are so off but, the true date is 11/01/17 and the true time is 8:45am (EST).
I think that a re-release of the tanker ship would be great. Most people never got the chance to get one.
Now that the 2017 truck has been released, the web site is not letting me on!!!
Its probably temporary overload of people trying to access website. Hope you tried again sometime later and manage to buy your set 🙂
Question, the dump body releases by a button, and raises, and the body only goes back down manually by hand ?
