The truck carries an enormous 12,130-pound potato. The giant spud is 28 feet long, 11-and-a-half feet tall and 12 feet wide.
Even if you mashed it up, it wouldn't quite be enough to serve the crowd at Pittsburgh's parade; it would make 30,325 servings of mashed potatoes.
After its stop in Pittsburgh, the truck will continue to tour the country to appear in festivals, fairs and parades.
