Abstract
An articulated, steerable, toy vehicle includes a first wheeled vehicle portion and a second wheeled vehicle portion pivotally coupled thereto. A steering lever has a free first end and an opposing second end pivotally coupled to the second wheeled vehicle portion and operably coupled to the first wheeled vehicle portion through the second wheeled vehicle portion. Rotation of the steering lever relative to the second wheeled vehicle portion pivots the first wheeled vehicle portion relative to the second wheeled vehicle portion.
