***I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING that the Monache Meadows has been becoming more and more popular. Every single day, more and more people are getting into overlanding. This place isn't as large, and traffic on this trail can be problematic. I recommend that you don't roll in with a large convoy. Can you vehicle get through this trail?
AWD crossover: see how your vehicle matches up to a Subaru or a 2019+ Rav4. If less capable, I would not recommend this trail for you. A vehicle with an older part time reactive AWD system like a 2018 or older Rav4 may really struggle here.
Large long beach Truck: I ran into a Ford F-350 long bed that got hung up on his rear differential. I stacked rocks for him to get unstuck.
2WD Truck: Because body on frame vehicles typically have good wheel articulation (flex), with intermediate driving skill, a 2WD truck can make it through in dry conditions. In wet conditions, it can be a nightmare.
I hope you find this information useful! Remember! The Monache Meadows has been getting more and more crowded, so it's a good idea to have a "PLAN B".
