My suspicion is you'd be fine - we did it with a 2007 Nissan Frontier. There were a couple spicy sections, but nothing that ever made me think 'fuck we're not going to make this', just like 'bah this might take a minute'.
YMMV, but it wasn't terrible
Also did it in late 2019, so plausibly things have changed since.

Don't move here. It sucks. All of Colorado sucks.

Try to hit Zion at sunset, it’s wicked good

Get over yourself. The distance of the hike is not even accurately marked. All of the alltrails reviews say it is 6 mi - longer than described and that moderate is not an accurate classification

That’s not really an excuse. You’re still putting you’re self and other at risk by not knowing more about where you’re hiking. Don’t set out if you have no idea about where you are. We see this all the time with tourists in Yellowstone and Tetons and it’s super frustrating. If you can’t be bothered to learn about where you’re hiking, or even follow basics water guidelines, don’t do it.
Edit: lol they responded and then blocked me

Multiday for sure . I wanna savor it. Would like to hit the Maze too. It would be in a small posse of friends. Three vehicles, one a lifted Xterra about as old as mine, with two pretty solid mechanics. Some youtube videos make it look like stock 4x4s other than Jeeps can manage it.

When I did WRT, it snowed the night before we ended and some dumbass tried to drive their corolla down the western end, couldn't do it, and just abandoned the car blocking the road.
We and 2 other groups pushed it into the ditch so we could get past.
Don't drive down a steep, one-lane, janky-ass road in a corolla.

We live on the east coast. Hope this explains everything 🤣 appalachia is far more forgiving when hiking or backpacking

I’m sorry but if you’re not bringing a half liter of water per hour of hike you shouldn’t be going anywhere near something resembling backcountry. I will never understand people setting out with barely any water. You’re putting yourself and s&r at risk. Same goes for people who don’t understand how quick the weather can change.

Trying to 1-day it, multiday unsupported, or supported multiday?
The riding isn't all that spicy, for the most part. It's an old road, and still drivable (with decent suspension), but I'd be reluctant to do it unsupported on something that old. If you've got the option to just throw it on the jeep / a full repair kit, though, then sure!

For me, Glacier was one of the best.

I went around Christmas and it was awesome and not very crowded. Just gotta watch for blizzards.

There's the white rim trail too. I've biked that atleast a dozen times. Tons of fun.

White Rim Trail is on my bucket list. Think a 20 year old, bone stock Xterra could make it?

Hit Arches, Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point two weeks ago. It snowed the first two days and then was perfect the last three. Nearly had the parks to ourselves at times. Absolutely unbelievable. Never thought we could match Zion, but standing under Delicate Arch was incredible.

I used a Nikon D850 and a 28-70mm f/2.8 af-d. I believe this was shot at f/8, iso 100, 70mm, 1/800

Our trip was pretty much that but in the opposite direction. Even stopped in Torrey for some epic stargazing. Highway 12 is crazy beautiful in the fall.
Southeast Utah is an alien landscape. Definitely one of nature's masterpieces.

This is one of my favorite views. Just the contrast and elevation difference between the deep canyons and the mountains behind it. If I remember correctly the elevation of this view is 2-3,000 feet to 14,000

Our third vehicle would be a 2010 Frontier. I'm taking that as a sign. Thanks for your input!
