We purchased the Peg Perego Gator last year for our two youngest grandsons then aged 2 and 5. This year we added the trailer (which came with the hitch to mount on the Gator), and they both love the set. They help their parents with yard work by hauling tools, plants, dirt, leaves, and everything else from the garage out to the back yard. They love their Gator. They also love the Peg Perego Gaucho jeep that we keep at our house. It was made in 1998 and given to us in 2003 by a friend who's son had outgrown it. I replaced the battery then and my daughter's four children ran it until 2016 when a rather several blow to it by a falling branch during a windstorm physically broke a resistor in the electrical circuit. I emailed the Peg Perego customer service group to see about purchasing a replacement, with little hope of getting a response. The next day I received an email and a call from their technician who explained that particular model had a recall shortly after it was manufactured (18 years ago) and that the replacement part would be free. I live near the factory, so I took the unit there to make certain I got the right part, and the technician insisted on installing it for me, again at no charge. I was astounded and very grateful to say the least. So you can have confidence that your Peg Perego toy will give long service, and that if it is ever damaged you can obtain parts from the factory to fix it. You may have to purchase them at a modest cost (as they haven't had a recall in a long time)but they will be there if you need them.

My son got it for his 2nd bday. He’s about to turn 3 now and we’re getting him the trailer to attach to the Jeep for his bday. He loves it and it’s great, absolutely no complaints. Easy to put together, battery works great and it’s great over bumps and big hills. We take it to my parents farm and he drives it around the fields and gravel roads.

My son has only been able to ride this once due to winter in Michigan, but he absolutely loves it! The only downfall (and not really a downfall, more of a planning issue) is that the box says "easy assembly". It took my husband and his father (both good with tools, etc.) about 2 1/2 hours to assemble this thing and on Christmas Eve, that wasn't how they wanted to spend their time haha. However, seeing the look on our son's face made it all worth it. Also, I know it's a safety measure, but having to hold down the gear "shifter" to go in reverse is kind of a pain for a 4 year old, but he's learning. And the "fast" gear is quite fast as well, but he loves it. He now knows to go slow around turns and then he kicks it in gear :) Overall, an excellent gift from the grandparents. Would definitely recommend!

No you don't get what you pay for! This tractor is no different than a Power Wheel ride on!!!! I Paid a lot of money for cheap plastic, stickers, and a battery........... No detail or quality you would get in the older version Peg Perego ride on product that i bought for my kids..... Now my grand kids got a cheaper less quality product..... Not even a radio..... Do yourself a favor and buy lesser priced 12 volt ride on elsewhere because they are all the same now

The battery in this didn’t last even 6 months! Total disappointment! With the cost this should not happen. We would charge the battery overnight and it would literally die in 2 minutes. A new battery is $80, which I don’t even want to buy because the same gong will probably happen. Oh and guess what the battery warranty is only 6 months, how convenient it goes out right after it’s up! My nieces have a power wheel that has been going strong for 10 months now, and it was $200 cheaper. Don’t waste your money on this!

My grandsons love riding the Gator which is great. BUT when it comes time to charge the battery you have to take most of the front of it off just to charge the battery which is VERY time consuming. Also you have to hold the shifter in reverse while you are backing up and my 3 yr old does great with it but the two 2 year olds don't understand that you HAVE to hold it in reverse to back it up. I also feel like they could have done a better job with the tires.... they are hard plastic and have trouble with traction at times, If they had put some rubber on the tires I feel like that would have solved all of the "sit and spin" situations!!! I think they will out grow this one quicker than the John Deere Tractor models - there is not a lot of leg room in them. IF I only had one child then I would buy the Tractor model over the Gator model due to them out growing the toy so quickly.

Our boys love this!! We got this for our 2 and 5 yr old boys for Xmas. It was easy enough to assemble and the battery lasts pretty long once charged. It does have plastic tires but they go pretty well. We have a large property and it travels over grass, gravel, dirt. My only word of caution is that the age says 3-8 yrs yet my 5 yr old barely fits in this already. I would say 5 is about the max age for this product.

Bought this product for my granddaughter, she loved it. Was not advised before I purchased it that by registering online that a 2 year warranty was free. If I had known, I would not have wasted my money by purchasing an additional warranty for $35 extra dollars. Need to communicate better with options. Took a little longer to assemble than I anticipated. Was figuring on an hour--took me about 3 hours.

We just got this and put it together. There wasn't an in store model, so at $400 we made a few assumptions...wrong move. The only metal I can see is the axel. The rest of the body is made of a soft plastic, the whole thing bends when a kid gets on it The suspension is fake. I have a 5 year old that weighs like 45 pounds, can't fit in it without contorting himself. When the seat is all the way back you can't really lift the bed (and seriously, who puts a pull there instead of putting in a lever on the side???). The pedal is directly in the middle of the vehicle, the other thing there is also the very long gear shifter, makes it awkward for reverse and when driving slow. Hopefully whoever designed this monstrosity of cheapness is unemployed and will stay that way forever for disappointing kids. This vehicle should be in the $150-200 price range, you are paying a $200 premium because it is John Deere, especially since it is only a 12V battery.

Wish I purchased the added protection plan. This gator has been awesome for my kids but sadly the inside plastic holding the front drivers wheel to the axel ripped just after 1 year of use. We only use it in our level and grassy backyard. It's not gone on any "off-road" adventures. Disappointed. The John Deere tractor we bought 6 years ago is still chugging along.
