Cars Cut from FH5 (Not in FH6)
Some FH5 cars didn't make the transition:
| Car | Likely Reason |
|---|
| 2021 Ford Bronco | Mexico-specific launch vehicle |
| 2020 Jeep Gladiator | Low usage metrics |
| Mercedes Tankpool | Niche, low engagement |
| Hot Wheels exclusives | Expansion-specific |
Most high-usage cars from FH5 return — the cuts are primarily low-usage vehicles and Mexico-specific content.
