Released in 2007, the Hot Wheels City 5-Pack featured five "work" vehicles. Released again in late 2008, the 5-Pack was renamed City Sets. Differences in the two releases were posted by diecast_lover on the HWC.com Variations and Error forum ( Hot Wheels City 5 Pack New Variations ).
Other than the base saying Thailand or China, the following differences exist:
- Tow Jam - The China version has 5SP wheels and is a lighter blue while the Thailand version has 3SP wheels and is a darker blue.
- Fandango - The red stripe on the China version is a little darker red than the Thailand version. The large stripe on the door is gray in the Thailand version and black in the China version.
- '07 Chevy Tahoe - The wide horizontal stripe is blue metallic on the China version and silver on the Thailand version.
- Dodge Ram 1500 - The China version's tampos have a black outline while the Thailand version is outlined in gold. The China version's windows are tinted while the Thailand version has yellow windows. On the round tampo on the cab extension panel the HW flame logo goes from front-to-rear on the Thailand version and rear-to-front on the China release.
- Old Number 5.5 - No noticeable differences.
