In Death Valley they often specify 4x4 high clearance. Of course, you don't REALLY need 4wd or even 2wd; you can tackle it on a motorcycle :)

In Death Valley you rather need more spare tires (if you go e.g. to Racetrack; seen a car that got 2 punctures at different locations). Otherwise high clearance is needed only if you go off-the-beaten track; even Titus Canyon is fine on a normal road vehicle.
