Tow Mater, often referred to simply as Mater, is a fictional character from Disney Pixar's Cars franchise. He is a rusty tow truck residing in the sleepy town of Radiator Springs, along Route 66. Mater is Lightning McQueen's best friend and provides him with unwavering loyalty and homespun wisdom.

Mater's appearance is characterized by his mismatched parts, including a dented hood, a missing headlight, and exposed engine components. He speaks with a thick Southern accent and is known for his endearing naivete and quirky sense of humor. Despite his seemingly unsophisticated demeanor, Mater possesses remarkable skills in towing and backing up, often surprising others with his capabilities.

Beyond his mechanical aptitude, Mater is valued for his genuine kindness and ability to see the good in others. His adventures often lead him and Lightning McQueen into comical situations, but his heart is always in the right place. Mater's role in the Cars universe extends beyond comic relief; he embodies the importance of friendship, loyalty, and embracing one's unique qualities.
