LEGO set 3221 LEGO Truck, released in 2010 as part of the City line, has 278 pieces. Its inventory breaks down into 99 different lots, across 13 colors.
LEGO Truck adds a commercial vehicle to the City theme, specifically within Traffic. Its subject fits ordinary street scenes, delivery routes and service activity, giving a LEGO town a practical transport element rather than a specialised licensed setting.
The set includes 278 pieces and 2 minifigures. The build is centred on a recognisable truck, with a cab, a load carrying section and general detailing suited to roads, depots or commercial areas.
It is aimed at builders who want to expand a City layout with freight movement, delivery play or a vehicle display. On its own it reads clearly as a LEGO truck, while alongside other City sets it helps connect buildings, streets and work scenes into a more coherent urban layout.
