LEGO City 60016, Tanker Truck, depicts a tanker truck within the Traffic area of the City theme. Released in 2013, it contains 191 pieces and includes a single minifigure associated with the vehicle.

Its subject is a road service vehicle, designed to fit into urban layouts with streets, transport activity and working vehicles. The tanker body gives the model its clear identity.

The build uses 191 pieces. The set therefore pairs a driver or worker with a dedicated truck, keeping the focus on everyday city transport. No undocumented play features are assumed here, so the description remains limited to the vehicle, the tanker form and the listed figure.

This set suits builders who want to add a recognizable utility vehicle to a LEGO City display. It can support traffic play, appear in a street layout or sit in a collection of City sets from 2013. Among Traffic sets, it represents service and transport rather than a private passenger vehicle.
