==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 alongside Elvis. 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 could 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 rocket ship on his roof falls off and is caught by a forklift in the crowd.
===Cars on the Road===
In Cars on the Road, Todd appears in all nine episodes (see Trivia below).

==Official profiles==
===Car Finder Game===
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 based on the Pizza Planet truck that first appeared in the 1995 animated film Toy Story and has since appeared in every Pixar film to date, with the only exception of the first Incredibles film. It possibly gives evidence that The Incredibles was set in the 1960s, when the truck is actually based on a 1980s Toyota Hilux.
*Todd is the only character in the entire franchise with a front wiper on his windshield, although it is absent in Cars 2 and later media.
*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. In Cars 2 and Cars 3, it was changed to the normal look of a mouth. The reason for this and his wiper is possibly because he is a modified, and altered version of the original Pizza Planet truck from Toy Story.
*Todd can be spotted in the background of a Cars 2 poster, in the middle London portion near the Victoria Memorial.
*According to Marc Sondheimer, Cars on the Road's producer, Todd appears in all nine episodes as said above.5 Fun Facts about Disney and Pixar’s Cars on the Road Journey! | Disney News
