Maisto Transporters and Tow & Go: Which Sets Include a Car?

Some Maisto transport sets include a passenger car; others give you the hauler alone. Start by checking the named contents, then choose the arrangement you like: a car towing a trailer, a car on a ramp truck, or a larger transport rig.
The four examples here cover a Bel Air and Alameda trailer, a JDM Garage truck with a Datsun 280ZX, an Actros with a Mercedes 190E, and an enclosed International LoneStar. All carry 1:64 labels, but the packages take up different amounts of space.

| Offer | Included models | What not to assume |
|---|---|---|
| Tow & Go 15368B | 1957 Bel Air and Alameda trailer | Not a separate pickup truck with a loaded car |
| Elite Transport 15055-22D | JDM Garage ramp truck and 1980 Datsun 280ZX No. 80 | A ramp-truck name does not promise opening body panels |
| Transporters 11454RD | Actros open hauler and red 1990 Mercedes 190E | Not every space on the trailer implies another included car |
| Custom Haulers 12418-TO | LoneStar truck and enclosed trailer | No separate passenger car is listed in the offer |
Tow & Go: the Bel Air is the tow vehicle
The red Bel Air and Alameda trailer gives you the classic car and trailer together. The supplier quotes approximately 5 inches for the whole set.
That makes it the compact pair in this comparison. Use the five-inch figure for the combined display, rather than treating it as the Bel Air’s length alone.
Opening doors and an interchangeable hitch standard are not specified. If you want to swap the trailer onto another car, confirm the connection first.
JDM Garage: a Datsun load supplied with its ramp truck

The JDM Garage package pairs a dark-gray No. 80 ramp truck with a green 1980 Datsun 280ZX S130. The truck is listed at approximately 5.5 inches long and the Datsun at 2.75 inches.
Both the included car and the coordinated graphics are reasons to choose this package. The listing specifies no opening panels, so plan to show the models closed.
The Datsun rides on the truck’s own bed. This gives the display a different shape from a tractor pulling a separate car trailer.
Actros and 190E: a larger transport presentation
The Mercedes Actros set comes with a red 1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E, listed at approximately 3 inches long. Its trailer has a working ramp for a loading display.
The trailer is plastic, while the overall construction combines metal and plastic parts. Check those component details if material is part of your buying decision.
The listing calls the 14 × 1.75 × 2.75-inch figures trailer dimensions. Confirm the length of the fully coupled arrangement if you are fitting it into a tight shelf; those figures do not clearly cover the entire rig.
LoneStar: an enclosed hauler, not a hidden-car bundle
The Toyo Tires LoneStar transporter has black, blue and gray decoration, an opening engine compartment and a trailer ramp door. It uses a plastic trailer and has an approximate listed overall size of 14 × 1.75 × 2.75 inches.
No passenger car is named in the contents. Choose this package for the enclosed hauler itself, and plan any car purchases separately.
Before putting another model inside, check the trailer opening and usable interior space. Wide bodywork, tall wings and other projecting details can matter as much as the scale label.
For the smallest paired scene here, choose the Bel Air and trailer. The JDM Garage package supplies a Datsun on a ramp truck, the Actros supplies a 190E with an open hauler, and the LoneStar gives you an enclosed transporter.
The Maisto Harley truck-and-bike packages cover another transport theme. If you want a larger Japanese car on its own, see the Tokyo Mod guide.
