Our kids have a few matchbox board-books featuring different cars, one is called Crunch and its about a Jeep that slides into a ditch and gets towed.

The story telling leaves much to be desired, but my real issue with this particular book, is that the tow truck is proudly adorned GMC when it’s perfectly clear that the truck is a ford.

I mean for a company that specializes in replicas a of cars and trucks, you would think they could get this right.

I mean, their Jeep appears to be a Ford Ranger from the front, so maybe Ford just wouldn’t license their brand?

Book was probably outsourced to a non-car company.

That's actually incredibly detailed for a painting in a children's book. The fog effect in the truck's cab is lovely.

I like the Little Tree they added as well. The artwork really is quite good.

Explorer/Grand Cherokee hybrid perhaps?
