Todd Pizza Planet Truck, also known as just Todd for short, is a recurring character in the Cars franchise. He is a Gyoza Poky 2.4 Liter Inline 4 who works as a delivery truck for the Pizza Planet restaurant chain, delivering pizzas and air filters to residents of California.[1][2] He is also interested in demolition derby racing, having taken part in the Thunder Hollow Crazy Eight on at least one occasion.
History
Cars
In Cars, having obtained free tickets to the Dinoco 400 Piston Cup tie-breaker, Todd attends the race at the Los Angeles International Speedway. He is among the crowd of cars behind Darrell Cartrip and Bob Cutlass while they are filming a report for the Racing Sports Network near the stadium's entrance.
Earlier in the film, a Pizza Planet truck can be seen in the background when Mack and Lightning McQueen are leaving the Motor Speedway of the South. The truck could possibly be Todd or another Pizza Planet employee.
Cars 2
Todd has two brief cameo appearances in Cars 2. He first appears on the Tire Talky television show, which is being shown in the Wheel Well Motel during McQueen's date with Sally. He is later seen as a spectator at the Radiator Springs Grand Prix.
Cars 3
In Cars 3, Todd takes part in the demolition derby race at Thunder Hollow Speedway. Starting with the racing number 07, he is bumped into a wall by Superfly and consequently eliminated from the race. Upon crashing, the model of the rocket ship on his head falls off and is caught by a forklift in the crowd.
Cars on the Road
In Cars on the Road, Todd appears in the episodes "Salt Fever" and "Trucks". A prop version of him also appears in "B-Movie".
Physical description
Todd is a Gyoza Poky 2.4 Liter Inline 4. He is painted in a yellow and white livery, and he wears the Pizza Planet logo on both of his doors. He has the rocket ship representing Pizza Planet atop his roof. In the demolition derby, he appears with the number 07.
Bios
Car Finder
Todd is one of a legion of devoted Pizza Planet Delivery trucks delivering fresh off the line Pizza Planet brand air filters to cars all over California. Every now and then in Todd's quest to make it to his customers, as soon as possible, he stumbles upon an unavoidable detour like: construction, flooded roads, or worst of all, free tickets to the race of the century at the Los Angeles International Speedway.
Pixarpedia
- Todd, a Gyoza Poky, might need a few repairs, but that is because he has traveled so many miles delivering pizzas. At least he has a day off at the race track!

Trivia

- Todd is the only character in the Cars franchise that has a frontal wiper on his windshield, although it is not present in Cars 2.
- In Cars, he is modeled to have the inside mouth shared with their mudguard without any kind of division like other cars do, making him one of a few characters to have this feature.
