Lifeguard Truck Patrol
This modified Toyota Tacoma carries a surfboard and other rescue paraphernalia for the Lifeguard unit. Though the surfboard is molded to the back of the truck it shows little detail of its appearance based on the real world vehicle.
The base plastic chassis comes in black with silver rims just like the real Toyota Tacoma Lifeguard pick-up truck. So far in all the iteration of this Tacoma it is the first time that Matchbox produced it taking the San Diego markings as describe at the back of the long guard packaging.
