As an offroad vehicle (categorized as Unlimited Offroad, which is a renamed version of Extreme Offroad from previous installments), the M12S Warthog is naturally an excellent choice for offroading applications, including scaling up the Gran Caldera or tearing through the Horizon Baja Circuit. | ||
** On the other hand, it otherwise remains a less-than-optimal choice for Road Racing Series or Street Scene events, although it can still win in the hands of a skilled driver. As with before, speed-focused race routes like the Copper Canyon Sprint (Road Racing Sprint) or Wetland Charge (Street Race) should be avoided, even when racing against other Unlimited Offroad vehicles. | ** On the other hand, it otherwise remains a less-than-optimal choice for Road Racing Series or Street Scene events, although it can still win in the hands of a skilled driver.

** It is once again not effective for use in online races involving Class S1 vehicles due to the lack of upgrades that allow it to reach or get close to S1 900, namely the Funco Motorsports F9's 7.4L V8 TT engine swap. Because of this, it will remain inferior to many cars in that class, even a Bugatti Chiron or McLaren 765LT Coupé downgraded to S1 with the Offroad Race Tire Compound. | ** It is once again not effective for use in online races involving Class S1 vehicles due to the lack of upgrades that allow it to reach or get close to S1 900, namely the Funco Motorsports F9's 7.4L V8 TT engine swap.

** As of the Series 6 update (March 30, 2022), a new transmission upgrade, the Drift Transmission: 4 Speed, is available. It gives the Warthog increased speed over its stock transmission and makes it lighter as it only has four gears instead of six. However, its wider gearing lends to slightly weaker acceleration and launch in return. | ** As of the Series 6 update (March 30, 2022), a new transmission upgrade, the Drift Transmission: 4 Speed, is available.

However, it is still always locked to the Offroad Race Tire Compound, thus making it ineffective for drag or road racing. | * The Warthog also now has access to the Rally Differential upgrade, which gives it a suitable differential tuning setup for Dirt Racing events.

* A stock M12S is only effective on short race routes like Ek' Balam Cross Country Circuit and Caldera Scramble. On longer routes, it is easily outrun by many other vehicles. As such, the M12S should be upgraded and tuned before taking on longer race routes like Tulum Trail, El Descenso Cross Country, and especially The Titan or The Gauntlet. Otherwise, it is better replaced with other vehicles. | * A stock M12S is only effective on short race routes like Ek' Balam Cross Country Circuit and Caldera Scramble.

* Drivatars in M12S Warthogs can once again reach a maximum Performance Class rating of X 999, much like in ''Forza Horizon 3''. This is most easily observed when the player drives a car upgraded to X 999 (e.g. Dodge SRT Viper GTS ''Anniversary Edition'') and enters an Anything Goes race event with it, and one of the Drivatars is in a Warthog. This is significantly less likely to happen in S2 Class races, though, especially Street Races, where Drivatars commonly favor S2 Class cars like the McLaren Senna (S2 934), Aston Martin Valkyrie (S2 978), or BMW X5 M ''Forza Edition'' (S2 998). | * Drivatars in M12S Warthogs can once again reach a maximum Performance Class rating of X 999, much like in ''Forza Horizon 3''.

** This accolade is most easily done during a Skill Song (unlocked when the player obtains the Casa Bella house in Mulegé, which occurs during the beginning of the game). As soon as the player has obtained 25,000 base Skill Score with a multiplier of x10, they must break it immediately with a hard collision, by rewinding, or by entering a home or Festival Outpost through the pause menu. Playing in Horizon Solo is ideal to get a lot of Skill Score points quickly, although this accolade can also be done in Horizon Life. | ** This accolade is most easily done during a Skill Song (unlocked when the player obtains the Casa Bella house in Mulegé, which occurs during the beginning of the game).
