How to Fix Car Damage (and Gear Car Damage)

If you have a favorite car in Forza Horizon 6 (I've personally been very interested in one of the best drag cars, the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro), then you might notice some wear and tear, especially if you've been running into other vehicles or running into buildings and such while trying to find the hidden barns and treasure trucks.

Really, Forza Horizon 6 has an attitude that lets you not only turn off visual car damage completely but also play the game more realistically, with damage affecting your vehicle's tires and engine, reducing overall performance. This guide will show you how to toggle visual damage settingsso you can play your way.
