General information
Physical description
Promotional image of Sarge.
Sarge is painted army green, with brown tire treads and green rims. On his back he has a spare tire, although it is rarely ever needed. He has the number 984673 painted in white on either side of his hood and a Sergeant Major insignia on his doors.
He is modeled on a 1942 Willys MB Jeep, and his license plate reads 41WW2, a reference to World War II and the year the US got in the war, 1941. However, he has no license plate in a large number of video games.
Personality and traits
Two boot camp students struggling as Sarge barks orders at them.
Sarge is tough but is nonetheless kind to his friends, although he does tend to lose his temper towards Fillmore due to their personalities being the exact opposite from each other. While the two are often yelling at each other, they are the best of friends, and fighting is one thing that ironically keeps the friendship going. Sarge is a former fighter in the war, and specializes in army knowledge and loves the chance to train anyone who is in need of off-road training, whether it's the students at his boot camp or Lightning McQueen.
Powers and abilities
He is a veteran from World War II, and as a result he is an expert in weapons, training and is also a very tough coach who shows no mercy against his students and friends.
Sarge has also been shown to have decent racing abilities, most notably in his excellent acceleration.
Relationships
Friends
One of Sarge's close relations is Lightning McQueen. In Cars: The Video Game, Sarge helps Lightning prepare for the Piston Cup season by giving him three different obstacle courses to conquer, and one final race that will determine his abilities.
Another close friend includes Fillmore, although they argue with each other a lot, like when Sarge complains about Fillmore's music being too loud. Their relationship is very similar to Mario and Donkey Kong's relationship from the popular Super Mario Bros. series - they usually bicker with each other, but they sometimes help each other out and treat each other nicely.
Enemies
Sarge's enemies include many of the lemons that he fought in London, such as J. Curby Gremlin, Tubbs Pacer, Vladimir Trunkov, Victor Hugo, and dozens of generic black lemon cars.

- Bios
- "Ask Sarge about his military service and he'll regale you with stories of daring fearlessness! Like the time his tank friend lost his track in The Battle of the Bulge and Sarge had to tow him to safety. For his bravery, Sarge received the Grille Badge of True Mettle! It's displayed front and center at Sarge's Surplus Hut, side by side with Sarge's own brand of The Mother Road survival kit. He guarantees that if you break down, this kit will help you get through the night and maybe the next world war, and it all stows nicely in your trunk. Sarge is a 1941 Willys Military Jeep. He proudly served in World War 2 and received the Grille Badge of True Mettle for towing a tank to safety in the Battle of the Bulge. He now lives in Radiator Springs and runs Sarge's Surplus hut, where he sells military surplus and his own Mother Road Survival Kit, guaranteed to get you through the next world war should you break down. He believes firmly in order and has his lawn perfectly manicured and mowed twice a day."
