4.5 Rated Trails
Hard rocky trail.  Same as a 4.0 rated trail but the obstacles are bigger, tighter squeezes
and bigger risks to body and mechanical components.  Few bypasses if any.  Longer
wheelbase vehicles may have problems with breakover angles, short wheelbase vehicles
may have to use a winch or strap on some obstacles.  Large vehicles will damage sheet
metal.  Spotter may be needed for all major obstacles. Rollovers possible. Plan for common
component breakages (vehicle specific).

5.0 Rated Trails
Extreme rocky trail.  Same as a 4.5 rated trail but the obstacles are bigger, tighter squeezes
and bigger risks to body and mechanical components.  No bypasses.  Body damage
guaranteed.  Spotters needed for most of trail.  Rollovers likely.  Some obstacles may
require a winch for larger vehicles. Trail may be impassible when wet. Plan for major
component breakages.  Realistically these trails should be run with rock buggies.

Insane trail. Same as a 5.0 rated trail except all of the obstacles are bigger.  Constant
