With a bed pad loaded with play features, the Mack Truck playset from Mattel is inspired by the hit Pixar movie, "Cars." Recommended for children ages four and up, this action-packed home on wheels, allows kids to bring their imagination to life.

Fast, Exciting Play
Fans of the film, and all its fun, friendly characters, will remember Mack as the friend of Lightning McQueen -- the hot shot racing rookie -- whose image is on the side of the trailer. Not only is the adorable red semi truck transportation for McQueen, Mack is also a "bachelor pad" for the racecar with seven different play features, including a weight machine, car lift for repairs, game station, and more. A great place to cool down after a day of racing, the blue pad is a hang-out area, or -- with the push of the yellow/gray button -- a rocking "dance" lounger for McQueen. The vehicle also has a TV set, an opening fridge for a drink of oil or water, and a car wash with a sink, toothbrush and mirror.

Each character in the Mattel Pixar Cars set is beautifully detailed and blister packaged replica, designed in 1:55 scale die-cast. Measuring 14 inches long and 5 inches tall, the Mack Truck playset is also built with durable hard plastic that stands up to the play of young children. The Lightning McQueen figure is sold separately.

The Mack truck playset allows kids to bring their imagination to life.

Mack is also a bachelor pad for the racecars, including a weight machine, and car lift for repairs.

I originally bought this for my son as a birthday present, but decided to give it to him today as a reward for being good during a long day of shopping. I am very glad I didn't save it for his birthday. First and foremost, Lightning McQueen doesn't come with this playset! You have to have a spare Lightning on hand for your child to be able to play. I'm not sure how Mattel thought they were getting away with selling a playset touted as "Lightning McQueen's action-packed home on wheels," without actually including a car for a child to play with.
Secondly, the "amenities" are seriously lacking. The "7 play features" are simply levers that move in different directions.
That said, Mack himself is well-done and is a nice size for little hands. It's not a huge toy, which doesn't make it a burden to store.
I, however, would not buy this toy again, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but not made well, May 27, 2007

This a great addition to the Cars theme. My 2 1/2 yr old has most of the cars, and this was a great add on. Its cute that it has so many different things for McQueen to do inside his trailer.
My only complaint is that its not made from the best plastic. Its a lil flimsy and feels kinda cheap. Luckily its hasn't broken yet, except for a small piece that popped back on. I guess I was expecting more since all the cars are made from metal. Even "Mack" is made from the same plastic.
Overall its still great for lil fingers and their imagination.

UPDATE: 2yrs later and my son is still playing with Mack. We have lost a few of the parts, but that hasn't stopped him from playing with him. He love his Mack truck, and takes him out whenever he plays with his other "Cars". Again the material isn't the best, but it's lasted this long, and he's been happy playing with him. This is something I would buy again, but probably see if their is a better quality truck out there.

I got this truck for my two year old and he loves it. I was just surprised by how small it was. Our neighbor has the exact same truck with the exact same features but a much larger model. I didn't pay attention to the size dimensions because it looked exactely alike. My bad! I thought I was geting a deal at $20, but now I know the $40 truck is much bigger.
