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.

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

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.

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!
