I've taken my Prius and VW's on plenty of forest service roads. That picture was taken in one of the better sections of this road. There is no way a Prius (or any other FWD car) would have made it up the first uphill section. Steep with a deep trench eroded diagonally across the road so you couldn't just straddle it. The van wouldn't have made it in the rainy season

Even then, if I replace the VW it isn't going to be with something I have to crawl along forest service roads at 10 mph.
