How to identify this release

Look for the turquoise camper, “Turquoise Trail” lettering and small NM14 / Road 14 graphics. Use DFL57 to identify the release rather than treating NM14 as its product code.

Compare the camper, side graphics, windows and wheels together. If the package is missing, the toy code or base marking is more reliable than color alone.

Physical details

The Backwoods Bomb’s camper shell is a separate molded piece. Confirm that it sits correctly on the truck and belongs with this version. Check both sides of the body and the roof for the release-specific decoration described above.

Check the turquoise shell for chips and cracks, then inspect the small route graphics across the doors and bed. A seller photo that crops out those markings can make this issue hard to separate from the 2015 Real Riders version.

Packaging and condition

DFL57 is #3/21 in the HW Road Trippin’ 2015 assortment. It is distinct from the separately released orange CFN90 Heritage Real Riders car.

For a carded or bagged example, compare the release code and series wording with the toy. For a loose example, photograph the underside and both sides so the wheels, base and tampo can be judged together.
