Kitt Lift is a monster truck living in Propwash Junction. He has black aftermarket fender flares with bolts, black bumpers with gray in the center (although absent on artwork), and gray rims. He also has a roll bar including four circular lights. He is using Lightyear All-Weather tires.

History[]

Planes: Fire & Rescue[]

In Planes: Fire & Rescue, Kitt is seen attending the Honkers bar. At one point, a forklift accidentally shoots a dart at Kitt's rear right tire, deflating it as he growls in anger. He also reappears when Dusty Crophopper becomes a firefighter near the ending.

Physical description[]

Although his model's name is officially unknown, Kitt Lift is a large heavy-duty styled monster truck, resembling a 2007-2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD Crew Cab, with a modified 2007-2013 Chevrolet Silverado's front grille design, missing the signature horizontal bar (in the film; while on his artwork, it resembles more of Ray Reverham's almost identical grille design similarly, despite him not appearing until Cars 3). He is painted in a dark shade of blue and his eyes are brown.

Bio[]

  • Kitt has larger tires, axles, and suspension than most trucks. He also has a bigger engine. Whether Kitt is mud-bogging, off-roading, flying off jumps, or spinning on freestyle courses, he is doing it big. Kitt enjoys riding over giant rocks, trees, and anything else in his way.

Trivia[]

  • Kitt's model in the film is possibly supposed to be a heavily modified crew-cab version of Duff Wrecks.
  • It is currently unknown what real-life monster truck could Kitt Lift be based on.
    • It is also unknown why is his artwork a different model than in the film. It seems to loosely resemble Ray Reverham, except with a short rear window, a noticeable nod to the 2004-2008 Ford F-150 Regular Cab.[1]
  • Along with Andrew Vrooman, Kitt Lift is also the second of the rarest characters in the Cars and Planes universe to only have one model of their appearance (though Kitt Lift is technically a generic unknown vehicle model).
    • Coincidentally, both even joined a bar.
  • Near the end of the film, it could be possible that his rear right tire got inflated and then got fixed at some point (though only unshown off-screen).
  • His name is a reference to "lift kit" itself (but reverse, and an extra "T" in "kit"), an accessory that trucks and SUVs are used for making a higher ride height and bigger tires.
  • Despite resembling a heavy-duty truck, he somehow has 6-lug wheels instead of their usual 8-lug. This actually was a thing on Chevrolet C/K 2500 light-duty trucks, and the Nissan Titan. Though speaking of Kitt Lift, it's possible that it was a 6-lug conversion.
  • The black side trim moldings, his fender flares' bolts, and the grey middle part of his front bumper are the only visual parts that are absent on his artwork.
