I took my Prius up to Ed's Trailhead near Silver Star Mountain and all the reviews said you needed a truck or other high clearance 4x4 to make it.

I'd take my Avalon on that road too. I've gone over lots of mountain passes a lot like that picture or even worse without hardly ever scraping bottom. Cumberland pass, for an example.
