"Just wanna let you know, Ramirez is moving up toward you."

—Ray Reverham, Cars 3

Ray Reverham is a pickup truck who coached the IGNTR racing team in the Piston Cup Racing Series. He is Jackson Storm's crew chief.

History

Ray attends all of Jackson Storm's Piston Cup races in Cars 3. In addition to coaching Storm throughout his races, Ray also helps him train. When Storm is practicing in the high-tech simulator, Ray decides to put Lightning McQueen's likeness into the display to give him some "real competition," though they both laugh at the idea that McQueen could actually be a threat.

At the Florida 500, Ray and Storm are both caught off guard when Cruz Ramirez replaces McQueen halfway through the race. When Ramirez starts catching up to Storm's lead, Ray angrily warns Storm of her quickly rising position.

Physical description

Ray Reverham slightly resembles a modernized 1992-1996 Ford F-Series (and also possibly GMC Syclone) with an extra shorter bed (implies F-150), having a 2014-2015 GMC Sierra's headlights, a 2009-2014 Ford F-150's taillights (in terms of shape), and a 2017-2019 Nissan Titan's grille but upside down designed to look like a 2014-2021 Toyota Tundra, just with some differences. The rims are identical to that of Kevin Ryvan, which familiarly resemble that of a 2013-2018 RAM 1500 Tradesman and SLT. The front structure is also similar to a 2014-2018 GMC Sierra as well. The door handles are strongly based on the GMT400 line of GM trucks and SUVs. The wheel wells resemble that of a Ford F-450/F-550 Super Duty and RAM 4500/5500's fender flares. He is painted black and gray, with the sleek number 20 painted on his doors, surrounded by blue and black lines that transition into one another. He has a chrome outer with black inner grille and silver aluminum rims.

He has a Ford 6.2 L Boss V8 engine, with 385 hp (283 kW), and a 6-speed 6R140 automatic transmission.
