[[File:MKT truck Piranha Plant.jpg|thumb|A truck with a Piranha Plant in its bed in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'']]
'''{{wp|Pickup truck}}s''',{{ref needed}} often simply called '''trucks''',<ref name="MKT name">Displayed as an [[Mario Kart Tour race points system#Object interactions|action]] in ''Mario Kart Tour''</ref> appear as vehicles alongside other traffic in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. They differ from [[cargo truck]]s and [[bus]]es in that they are much smaller, and from [[car (obstacle)|car]]s in that their beds may contain objects that can affect a race.

==History==
===''Mario Kart 7''===
[[File:Wuhu Loop Cars.jpg|thumb|left|A three-wheeled truck]]
In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', yellow-colored {{wp|three-wheeler|three-wheeled trucks}} appear on [[Wuhu Loop]]. They act the same as the cars on the same course and are a similar size to them. Additionally, the stationary vehicle that appears on [[Maka Wuhu]] at the beginning of the track can either appear as a [[Car (obstacle)|car]] or as a pickup truck.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
[[File:MK8 Surfboard Vehicle.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Shy Guy]] driving towards a truck carrying a surfboard in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Moving pickup trucks appear on the retro track {{classic link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as well as {{classic link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, {{classic link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}, and {{classic link|Wii|Moonview Highway}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''{{'}}s [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]], although they are absent in the [[Battle Mode]] version of <small>N64</small> Toad's Turnpike in ''Mario Kart 8''. Each of them has a surfboard atop them that they drag along, which functions as a [[ramp]] that racers can drive up and [[Jump Boost|trick]] off of, like with a dash panel ramp truck. If a player hits any kind of truck, they will not lose their item, and if they were not driving fast enough they will not flip out either. The vehicles themselves are purple with [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Super Marine World|Super Marine World]], [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Waluigi Sea Bed|Waluigi Sea Bed]], and [[DS Cheep Cheep Beach|Cheep Cheep Beach]] stickers on them, while the surfboards are yellow with a red flame pattern at the end and a [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Red Shell Strike Equipment|Red Shell Strike Equipment]] sticker on them. In this game, pickup trucks are immune to [[Super Horn]]s.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
Moving pickup trucks appear on [[DS Shroom Ridge]] and its R variant, and [[Tour Berlin Byways]] as well as the latter course's R and T variants. As with their ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' appearances, some pickup trucks carry a surfboard that acts as a ramp, with one or two additional [[coin]]s on top of it for drivers to collect. These trucks are orange, and their surfboards are white with two arrow decals near their tip, pointing forward. On Berlin Byways 3, DS Shroom Ridge, and DS Shroom Ridge R, pink-colored pickup trucks each carry a [[Piranha Plant]] which lunges at racers from a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] casing. On Berlin Byways 3R, the pickup truck is empty. 

Stationary pickup trucks also appear on [[DS Shroom Ridge|DS Shroom Ridge R/T]], [[Tour Sydney Sprint|Sydney Sprint T]], [[Tour Bangkok Rush|Bangkok Rush 3]], and [[Madrid Drive|Madrid Drive 3R/T]]. In each instance, the pickup trucks are pink. On Shroom Ridge R/T and Bangkok Rush 3, they carry surfboards. On Bangkok Rush 3, they are used as ramps to reach the roof of parked {{wp|Auto rickshaw#Thailand|tuk-tuks}}. Their design is different from that of the trucks in Berlin Byways 3, and it is closer to their ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' design; the vehicles are pink-colored and the surfboards have a yellow color fading to black with a white flame pattern at the top. On Sydney Sprint T, the pickup truck is empty. On Madrid Drive 3R/T, they carry [[Inky Piranha Plant]]s. Numerous other courses and course variants feature stationary trucks outside the track.

===''Mario Kart World''===
{{new subject|section=y}}
Moving pickup trucks return in ''[[Mario Kart World]]'' alongside the other traffic found throughout the world. Some trucks once again drag ramps (including surfboards) that racers can perform tricks off of, and some instead carry Piranha Plants in their beds. However, there are also many new obstacles and course elements that can occupy the trucks' beds, including:
*A [[Fire Piranha Plant]]
*A [[Spike]]
*A [[Hammer Bro]]
*A [[Fire Bro]]
*A [[Boomerang Bro]]
*A [[Banzai Bill Cannon]]
*A [[Barrel Cannon]]
*A vending machine, which may drop a golden fast food bag containing a food item.
In each case, the rest of the truck itself maintains the same appearance and function.
