The third of sixteen Apollo Moon Exploring sets features a figure, the MMM Space Crawler, and LP's version of the MMM Astro Trac. I have to wonder why, with all the other toys available from LP, Imperial Toy (the Stateside distributor) decided to repeat a toy so soon in the series' line-up. The MMM Space Crawler was already made available in Set No. 304A and here we are in 304C and it shows up again!
As to that large red firetruck looking vehicle, SpaceX Central attributes the basic design inspiration to Major Matt Mason's Astro-Trac. The original MMM version appears as if the smaller proportioned tank would hold fuel to propel the buggy. On LP's version, the larger proportioned tank makes the vehicle appear as if it could be perhaps a refueler or liquid transfer vehicle of some type. The LP version measures 2 5/8" (6.66cm) L x 1 3/8" (3.49cm) W x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

I always imagine that tructor is spraying the . . . err . . . 'head-waste' from the space-station, to create crowing conditions on a barren world/moon - realy 'sh*t' terraforming!

LOL I almost made reference to it being a honey wagon myself but totally forgot when I was actually typing up the post! Imagine that - a septic tank pumper on the Moon!
