Model History[]

A retool was issued in 2015 for easier assembly as the metal fenders became part of the interior assembly. That casting was the basis for the plastic body/metal chassis version for the 2018 Color Changers series.

Card descriptions[]

  • The Jungle Crawler is roughly based on a 1942 Dodge Carryall. Unlike the WWII era vehicle, the Matchbox version does not have a split windshield, the hood is open on the sides, and the rear doors are hinged on the sides (not the bottom).
  • The ultimate test in jungle survival awaits! As a member of the Swamp Tramp team, you are determined to conquer this tropical wilderness! With awesome suspension, gripping tires and room for all your equipment, the Jungle Crawler is the perfect vehicle for any extreme adventure!
    —From 2010 Jungle Explorers card
  • The Amazon awaits! Climb into your Jungle Crawler and head out for an adventure. Loaded with extreme parts, like stout axles, a tough winch and super-gripping tires, the Jungle Crawler is every adventurer's most trusted rig.
    —From 2011 Jungle Explorers card
