Hello,
Sure it may not be dirt or any other heavy item but it did in fact become the first full load I had in the back of the truck. Later this afternoon, it will probably have something real in it like bulk dirt from local garden supply.
Yes it is a Power wheels Dune Racer Barbie edition. I will probably pick up an ecoboost badge off Ebay just for kicks. I am hoping to have some time today to finally get the bakflip on to the truck as well as the mud flaps. I have a pile of stuff to do and I told my wife I was actually going to try to get some of the landscaping done instead of working on the truck and her car in some form or fashion.

Hello!
This is her second one. Here first one was a barbie jeep. However my dad got it from a customer of his whose daughter outgrew it. My daughter had the jeep since she was 3. (she's 5 now) When she got it, the jeep had to be at least 12 years old at the time. My dad found another jeep in the trash so he picked it up. Stripped the parts that fit her barbie jeep. The motors tested good and we swapped them. The jeep was still a dog with a new batteries and a new motors.
Yesterday, my wife and I took her to Toys R Us and showed her the dune racer. We made sure she could fit in it. We also checked out the Boss 302 stang, the Princess stang and the F150 Raptor we saw at Walmart. The only problem with them was she at the right size with no room for any growth. The dune racer was larger in the cockpit area. My daughter liked the Disney princess Mustang as well but it was tight for her.
There is a power wheels league in the area so my daughter races in it. We figured she will be in it for another year or two so what the heck. Besides the new one was pretty fast without a fully charged battery. BTW, when we took it over to my parents this morning, they thought we were going to get a new power wheels. My dad thought it was going to be the F150 Raptor. My mom thought it was going to a mustang.
In the imaginary world of Barbie, Barbie has an ecoboosted 2.0L for the dunes.

You just need to up the voltage on the powerwheels. my kids have a 6 volt lil quad that I run at 12 volts and it runs good it is a little more then 2x's as fast as normal. I get battery back up batteries out of the ones at work that are still good and put them in the 2 jeeps that people have given me, or gotten at yard sales. my oldest has a jeep that I put on 24 volts. when it is in high it flat hauls butt. I would guess around 17mph. When I first wired it up I drove it from the back yard in Low... yes all 240lbs of me in it... He saw it and I got out, he drove it around in low for a few minutes then drove across the street, said what is this button, pushed it (high) then hit the gas and ran across the street, hit the curb and caught air, ran across the yard in no time, hit the sidewalk in front of the house, caught air and cleared the 4 foot sidewalk and hit the house and landed in the planter. As he came down it sheared all the drive tabs off the motors. He was laughing, I was laughing and Mom was mad... He was 4 at the time. I fixed it and they have ran it till the body sun rotted. Now he has a Honday trx 90 quad and loves it. My 18 month old son rides the lil quad now. Mom, still gets scared, but knows they are my kids, and have the need for speed...
Some of the newer ones are all electronic and the motors don't like working at higher voltages... I still have my eye out for another jeep or truck for the kids.
