Amazon.com Product Description:
Lightening, Mack, and Doc are ready for action! This "wheelie" big playset was inspired by the hit Disney/Pixar movie, CARS. The main attraction is Mack, the giant 24-inch long hauler that can be played with as a semi-trailer all by itself. But if you're looking for racing fun, then pop Mack's trailer open to reveal three play sets conveniently stored inside. The first of these is a very bumpy ride indeed. While is it's torn up condition, Lightning and Doc Hudson can pretend to be doing off-road stunts for the movies. When the duo is ready for a smoother pavement, they can enlist the help of Bessie to restore the road to its previous glory. 24-inch-long Mack offers plenty of fun on his own. Open Mack up to find three road play options. Lightning McQueen is one of the included vehicles. And when that happens, what smoother asphalt can be found than at the racetrack? Speed over to the oval track for tight turns, multiple laps, and race to determine which car has the stamina to make it to the finish line. Plenty can play at this track, and with all the fun of going round in circles no one will even be paying attention to who's winning. After the excitement of the racetrack, take a leisurely drive down the highway. The scenic route has cactus plants, desert views, and a slight incline for speeding up or slowing down. Once you've cooled down from a thoroughly enjoyable cruise on the highway, top off the gas tank because more fun is in store. Head back to Mack's center where a "launcher" is waiting to send you off on an adventure. The launcher sends off your car on its own chosen path, and this random act is sure to delight even the adults who are along for the ride. The Pitcrew Performance Playset comes with big Mack, a Lightning McQueen vehicle, a Doc Hudson vehicle, and a Bessie vehicle. The set requires three AAA batteries, which are included.

disappointing:
This truck looked like so much fun, but we're really disappointed. The pieces of the truck do not stay together, whether set up as a race track, or in truck form. It's very frustrating for me, let alone my son. I'm about to throw the whole thing away.

crap crap, did I mention crap?:
See the review titled UGGHH, it's a very accurate summary. This truck is a nice concept, horrible execution. The pieces that are supposed to fold out are almost impossible to get to stay in their deployed positions, when you try to fold it up to create the truck, the sides do not fold easily (frustrating everyone who tries) and fall easily. The launcher is difficult to pop in place and has to be pulled out in order to fold the truck up. There's nothing but frustration in store for the parents and children that have this toy.

HUGE Dissapointment!:
I bought this for my 6 yr old son who LOVES CARS. The toy is extremely hard to keep together and put away. It breaks easily. The only 2 good things is Bessie and Mac the Truck, his trailer is horrible and is now in the trash where it belongs! I don't believe much thought was put in to the durability of this toy. To be played with it must be opened but the opening mechanism does not work as an expensive toy should. I strongly do not recommend this toy get the smaller mac truck it is a much better toy.

Good:
Good toy. My 2 yr old son loves playing with this toy. We've had no problems with it.

Fun, but hard to put back together!:
This was a Christmas gift for our 7 year old. He played with it a lot at first, but doesn't seem to get it out much anymore. We wish it was built a little sturdier. It doesn't seem to latch together very easily when you try to put it all away. But when he does get it all out, he plays with it for a long time and has a lot of fun!
