## Characters

### Main

1. Axle (voiced by TBA) is the titular main protagonist of the series. He is a white 4-door crew cab pickup truck based on a futuristic version of the second generation 2005-2021 Nissan Frontier/Navara (D40), with an EV-like front fascia, chrome bumper, and a very lighter cabin influenced by the fourth generation 1992-2000 GMT400 trucks into a modern and futuristic design. He is a 2024 Fort D-150. He has his own driver named EJ. He, EJ and Ammy are the only two characters to appear out of all episodes in the series.
2. EJ (voiced by TBA) is the main deuteragonist, and as well as being Axle's own driver.
3. Ammy (possibly voiced by Alexander Polinsky) is the secondary main deuteragonist, Axle's best friend (sidekick), and a major character of the series. He is an electric blue mid-size 4-door crew cab pickup truck based on a mix between the first generation 2010-2022 Volkswagen Amarok (alluding to his name), with major bits from the third generation 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado (1500 K2XX) of the same years. He is a 2014 Cavalier Motors Alvarado 1500. Under his hood is a 5.3-liter naturally-aspirated gasoline V8 engine with 355 hp. He has 10-spoke 5-lug aluminum rims. Despite Ammy being a mid-size truck and having Silverado/Sierra influences, those are actually full-size trucks.
4. Black Flame (voiced by TBA) is the main antagonist, and Axle's biggest rival. He is a black and purple jacked up heavy-duty 4-door crew cab diesel pickup truck (or monster truck) based on the fourth generation 2020-2022 Ford F-Series Super Duty (F-250 Lariat; mid-cycle refresh). He has purple flames (despite the name), roof lights, LED lights, a black color-matched Lariat-based grille, purple custom wheels, black side-view mirrors (styled after traditional two-bar heavy-duty truck mirrors), and purple suspension. His model is a 2020 Fort D-250HD. Under his hood is an 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine with 800 hp.
5. Runny (voiced by TBA) is one of Axle's friends. He is a white 2020 Cavalier Motors Traveler 5-door short-wheelbase SUV based on the 2014-present Toyota 4Runner, with major bits from the 2015-2020 Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon/Cadillac Escalade (K2XX) and even 2018-2021 pre-facelift Ford Expedition. He has the same engine as Ammy does, a 5.3-liter V8 of the same aspiration and power output. This makes sense because all GM full-size trucks and SUVs share the same engine (except the truck-only 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel, 4.3L Vortec/EcoTec3 V6 and now-called "TurboMax" 2.7L I4).
7. Grandy (voiced by TBA) is Axle's grandpa. He is a red 1947 Chevive 1300 1/2 Ton classic 2-door pickup truck based on the second generation 1948-1952 Ford F-Series (F-100) and 1947-1953 Chevrolet Advance Design (3100). He has chrome rims, and as well as wooden panels in the bed. He also wears a green hat, black glasses, and a brown mustache on his grille. He has a 4.6-liter V8 engine with 160 hp (120 kW).
8. Daddy (voiced by TBA) is Axle's dad. He is a red 2020 Forgell I-250 Tough Duty FLZ.
9. Navvy (voiced by TBA) is Axle's sister. She is a white 4-door extended cab mid-size pickup truck based on the 2015-2020 Nissan Navara/Frontier/NP300 (D23; King Cab), with minor styling cues from the 2019-2021 (2022 Limited) GMC Sierra (1500 + T1XX; Double Cab minus rear door handles) and 2011-2014 Ford Ranger (T6, global market; SuperCab). Even taking cues from the 2017-present second generation Honda Ridgeline (in a non-existing Extended Cab configuration). Her model is a 2019 Anna Motors Navigator, and has a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 285 hp (209 kW). Coincidentally, the engine specs are actually the same as the 2011-2014 Ford Edge SUVs in real-life, which were also equipped a 285 hp (209 kW) 3.5L V6 engine, so it can be assumed that the former's one is based on the EcoBoost lineup (best known in the F-150 full-size trucks).
10. Ree (voiced by TBA) is the mechanic of Silverado City, and one of Axle's friends. He is a dark green forklift with black rims. True to his name, Ree is a pun of "repair", meaning to fix broken things.

### Minor/Recurring/Supporting

1. John Truckson is a classic-style pickup truck who is a commentator for the races. He is a black 1983 Fort D-150 based on the seventh generation 1980-1986 Ford F-150, with a secondary white in the center (as were traditional paint jobs for trucks during the time).
2. White Storm (voiced by TBA) is a white female truck that shares all the same other parts as Black Flame and also Daddy besides colors.

## Trivia

* This series is DreamWorks' answer to *Blaze and the Monster Machines*, which also includes anthropomorphic vehicles. Unlike that series, there are no human characters. It's also the studio's answer to *Cars on the Road* as well.
* Despite having no relation nor close enough similarities to this series, there are actually many books on the Target site with a very identical name, albeit spelt "Axel", and not "Axle".[1] It is about a red truck with big wheels and big dreams. He also has a dog named Rex. Unlike Axle, Axel is rather some sort of a monster truck, styled similar to Blaze from the aforementioned series as on top. Because both sport a red paint job (though Blaze is more orangish in appearance), a side flame decal (Axel's is purple while Blaze's is yellow; even adding an extra part of white), and a rear spoiler. Axel also has white stripes going from the hood to the rear spoiler and a hot-rod-like engine over the hood. Also, the latter came way before Blaze existed, apparently 2011.
