My FH5 Log: Less is More!

Obtained after hitting the 160-point mark at Forza Horizon 5's Horizon Wilds Takeover, the run-up for the Rally Adventure, the Sierra 700R is basically the cheaper version of the RX3 that is built for offroading in mind.


So, what's it all about the cheapest Sierra UTV money can buy?


The Sierra 700R is the affordable version of the RX3 where they've taken everything they've learned from the development of the RX3 and made it into a lightweight, more affordable package starting at 48K dollars plus additional costs. Powering this dirt-focused affordable UTV is a Yamaha Raptor 700r engine that produces 50hp of power and while mated to a 5-speed gearbox, it has a top speed of 85mph. Fair enough.


The 700R featured in FH5 is the one with the RX package which comes with 2-way Zbroz shocks, carbon wing, axles and flanges from the RX3, AIM dash/sensors, Hydro hand brake, gravel tires, and others.


With the quick introduction done, it's time to give the 700R a quick dirt race against other 700R drivers just to see how much fun the cheapest Sierra UTV can deliver. Roll the tape.



For an RX3 that is cheaper, less powerful, and dirt-focused, this is by no means one of the easiest to drive even when things get down and dirty. Not bad, Sierra Cars. Looks like I may have found my favorite UTV in the game after all.

Now that I got all of the Horizon Wilds Takeover prize cars and the Rally Adventure is ready to go, which one should I go first?

Anyway, enjoy your new ride.
