What type of truck is Mack, Lightning McQueen's transporter, in Pixar's Cars?

Mack, Lightning McQueen's transporter in Pixar's Cars, is a 1985 Mack Super-Liner.

Mack is a red semi-truck who carries McQueen's racing equipment and travels with him to competitions. He is named after Mack Trucks, the American manufacturer whose heavy vehicles are known for their distinctive bulldog branding.

The character appears early in Cars as McQueen's exhausted support vehicle. Mack falls asleep while driving, accidentally leaving McQueen behind at a roadside stop, which starts the chain of events that sends the race car toward Radiator Springs.

Mack is easy to confuse with other truck characters in the franchise, especially the haulers and transporters seen during racing scenes. The specific model designation is a production detail tied to the character's design, while “Mack” is also the name of the fictional vehicle and the real truck brand.
