Trailer Thursday: Two From Greenlight's Hitch & Tow, Series 6

One of the most interesting diecast series we've seen in a long time.

Greenlight's Hitch & Tow line has reached its sixth release, and I don't see them stopping anytime soon. The idea is pure brilliance and a breath of fresh air from the endless droves of the same handful of sports cars that you find on the pegs today. As such, Greenlight is one of the diecast brands you must check out for yourself if you haven't already. You don't even have to be into trucks and trailers. I, for one, am not, but these excite me just as much as anything else on the market.

Though I own a few models from the Hitch & Tow series, the two trailers shown here are firsts for me: the Airstream Bambi and the Shasta Airflyte. They have been available in just about every release, but these might be the best incarnations yet. The Bambi stands out with its colorful, floral-patterned window curtains; the Shasta is now available in a striking baby-blue-and-white two-tone color scheme. This series is really about the trailers more so than the trucks, and these two were instant purchases the moment I saw them.

To make things sweeter, both of these trailers have metal bodies to go with the metal base. They feel heavy and solid, which is refreshing, considering all of my previous trailers have been largely plastic. One thing I would like to see for the future is a more diverse range of trucks for the Hitch & Tow series. I think I have enough C-10's and D-100's as it is, and there are plenty of trucks out there that haven't been done yet.

Otherwise, kudos to Greenlight for a great series, and we all look forward to many more in the future.
