Thanks to a Facebook Marketplace listing in Switzerland, we now have our first look at the upcoming LEGO Technic™ CAT D11T Bulldozer (42131), which, as we mentioned back in June, is expected to release October 1st on Shop@Home.

According to one user on the Eurobricks Forum, the LEGO Technic™ CAT D11T (42131) will most likely only contain 4 motors—two angled motors similar to the LEGO Technic™ 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler (42114), two Technic™ Large Motors (88013), and one Smarthub. Each of the angled motors controls the movement of the treads, while one of the two Technic™ Large Motors (88013) serves to operate the gearbox—which is responsible for controlling the four main functions: blade lift, blade tilt/pitch, ladder lift and ripper lift—while the other switches through a transmission, similar to the function present in the LEGO Technic™ 6x6 Volvo Articulated Hauler (42114) build. In contrast to the LEGO Technic™ Liebherr R 9800 Excavator (42100), you get three less motors, one less Smarthub, and roughly 250 less pieces, all while still paying the same retail price of $449.99 | €449.99.
