If you have a FWD vehicle, you can drive on Saddle road.
6 years ago LOML and I rented a car to drive around Maui. It was a Hyundai Rio. Drove the road to Hana and thought "Well, why not just go all the way around?" After we made it through Haleakala park, the road "got a <ahem> little rough". To this day, I'm amazed and suprised that little car survived the trip. LOML never told me about the little warning printed on the map that said "rental cars forbidden beyond this point".
Oh, and Saddle road, we drive it all the time, no big deal. I liked it better years ago when there was no traffic and we'd pass maybe 3 cars (on the ranch side).
