Hot Wheels Truckin’ Along 2026: Collector’s Guide
Quick answer: Truckin’ Along is the 2026 Hot Wheels mainline’s pickup and off-road segment – five trucks led by the Drift-Ender Super Treasure Hunt, with the Jeep Gladiator, ’83 Chevy Silverado, Unimog 1300L and the new Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck.
South Africans buy more bakkies than almost anyone, which makes Truckin’ Along one of the 2026 segments with the most local appeal. Five slots, four 4x4s and one electric Pikes Peak monster – and the very first car in the segment is one of the year’s early Super Treasure Hunts. Full year: 2026 mainline guide.

Highlights
Drift-Ender STH. A Defender-style fantasy off-roader as an early-year Super Treasure Hunt – Land Rover-flavoured chases always do well in South Africa. Identification: STH 2026 guide.
Mercedes-Benz Unimog 1300L. The Unimog is practically an honorary South African vehicle – farmers, municipalities and the SANDF have run them for decades. A proper local favourite in the mainline.
Ford F-150 Lightning SuperTruck (new casting). Ford’s electric demonstration truck, extreme aero and all – the modern counterweight to the square-body Silverado.
