See Below:
Keep in mind, when you hear the scrape, that this truck has 18" clearance to the frame rails and 12" to the lowest driveline component.

Nice road! I have a similar road, only not so rutted, to my place.

where are you? Yeah, the ruts are pretty amazing, at one point in the video you can hear the scrape, and that truck has nearly 18" under the lowest body seam/frame section! (12" to the rear differential) basically the road becomes one-way in spring, because its on a hillside, everyone enters the road on the top and exits on the bottom. Climbing back UP the mudpits without the aid of gravity is pretty much impossible without a serious off-road rig, and everyone who lives on the road owns a 4x4 pickup or jeep just for this time of year. You can see at the beginning if the video where we didn't go up the hill. There's 2 miles of the same thing in the video, only uphill, in that direction!

I'm in Australia, in an area that's a bit off the beaten track. Not totally outback but far enough out of the rat race that I'm happy. My road is possibly narrower than the one in your video and follows along a creek with some very steep(vertical) drops that you could stand a large RV/Bus in on its nose. Those ruts in your gf's road are much more like some of the local fire trails I seek out :) Sounds like your girl has lived there for a while going by her vehicle choice and comments she makes.
"basically the road becomes one-way in spring, because its on a hillside, everyone enters the road on the top and exits one slides to the bottom. " Is how I pictured this.
