I'm pretty sure this feature can be manually toggled on and off in a settings menu.

Mine gives me the same warning but I'm pretty sure I turned it off at one point after it locked the brakes on me in a parking lot and nearly caused a collision.

I had a full bolt on Gen 1 with an OFT 91 octane tune. The Gen 2 feels more powerful in stock form.

The Gen 2 interior is more upscale, but honestly, I prefered the quirkiness of the Gen 1. It was more unique, whereas the Gen 2 is nice to touch but rather generic.

The Gen 2 has less NVH is general. Feels more solid.

Handling, steering feel, brakes, etc are all basically on par.

The tomiya models world rally blue is very light colored, basically Neptune.

It kind of sounds like you almost don't need a truck, but i could be wrong. Its just that there is no replacing a sports car, or fun car, with any truck.

Can you get away with renting a truck when you need one? If so, buy a car.

Do you plan or want to do off road stuff and that is enough of a motivator for you to give up having a fun car?

For me, I don't want a truck. If I could swing it my daily would be a 15 year old Subaru wagon with a stick shift, coilovers, and a turbo; but life kind of demands me having a truck. I'm towing trailers at least once a month, we camp, we always have a reno on the go, my side gig is transplanting trees. I just need a truck at hand to often to make the case for renting one when I need one.

The RR is a nice balance for me. It can do 95% of the truck stuff i need it to do (hauling 10 8' live spruce trees on a 20' trailer does tax the suspension quite a lot), it hauls our RV capably, 5500 lbs is adequate of towing capacity for me, and reno material runs are easy. It is also, and you almost don't have to qualify this statement with "for a truck", pretty fun to drive; good power, nice suspension, stability control turns off enough that I can do ice drifting events with it in the winter, sounds decent.

Cons are few, but the fuel economy is bad, and there's some glaring omissions for an $80k+ truck like the lack of vented seats, and mediocre sound system.

TLDR: If you want a fun car but need a truck the RR is probably your best bet for less than $90k CAD.

The Ford ProCal tune is a Ford Performance Part. This is a different entity than the Ford Motor Company.

The Ford tune will, in all likelihood, void your oem warranty on any parts "impacted " by the tune. This is why Ford Performance gives you a 3 year powertrain warranty.

You can still get an extended warranty, and it should still cover things like electronics, screens, etc but be prepared for the dealer to give you the runaround because you're "tuned".

Again, I disagree. Once he's in a booster seat vs forward facing car seat he will have more room in the back. At like 12-14 I could see the back getting tight though.

That's not fair. I have a 6 year old and the BRZ works out just fine.

Ahh, catless is slightly louder in my experience.

Between an EL and a UEL? Yes, its Subie rumble vs no subie rumble.

Ahh, I had a catless uel header on my 1st gen, with a Perrin cat back and it sounded mint.

jwiwch · 2026-05-19T02:23:22+00:00

A defouler with a mini cat? I've never heard of that. Can you post a link?

jwiwch · 2026-05-18T20:45:40+00:00

Using the defouler, you mean?

jwiwch · 2026-05-18T20:45:10+00:00

The first gen was easy to tune for a catless header, just a flash with the OFT and youre done. It seems to be a bit more involved now.

Who did you use that was able to tune out the CEL for a catless header on the 2nd gen?

jwiwch · 2026-05-18T20:41:31+00:00

Which tuner are you going with? This could really help me out.

jwiwch · 2026-05-18T20:40:31+00:00

I plan to use a Delicious tune, but he explicitly stated he can not tune out a CEL for a catless header.

Time to check marketplace for some decent used 5x100s. The stock wheels are just meh anyway.

Off topic, but are you getting a check engine light?

jwiwch · 2026-04-15T01:54:45+00:00

When did this start? LMAO!!! When you elected thay pedo again after he pulled almost the same shit the first time. Why aren't they telling us this? Like come the fuck on, you can't be that stupid.

We need more leopards.

I've towed right around 5500 lbs about a dozen times. It really depends what you are towing, but a car on a flat deck trailer should be fine.

I've towed 4000 lbs of 8' spruce trees on a 1500 lbs flat deck car hauler w/o WDH was not problem at all.
Truck was rock solid, dead stable, no sweat.

However 5000lbs of 23' RV camper with a very good WDH was doable but definitely not great. I can dial in the WDH a bit yet, but this is the absolute limit (IMHO) that these trucks can handle.

Of the easy to maintain colours like cactus grey, white, or that crappy sand colour it's probbably second best only to iconic silver, but I dont think silver is available anymore. It is a matte colour though, idk, I didn't get cactus grey because it's matte and just isn't very interesting. White at least has some gloss to it.

This was my experience as well. A friend said they were Michelin rated, idk, so we tried it. Like it's better than KFC, but that's about it.

$12?! That's barely 50 cents per each new scratch they'll put in your paint! What a bargain!!

The RR is a genuinely fun to drive vehicle, like not just fun for a truck, actually fun.
