Made it all the way to 15km with a low clearance SUV (~7.0 inch clearance). 11.5km to 12km is very loose and rocky, it would be helpful to use a spotter. If you are not comfortable with driving this section park before 11.5km. You are not too far away from the trailhead anyway. Btw if your SUV have > 8 inch of clearance, you are probably good without a spotter. Also, pinstripping is pretty bad.
Road in generally good condition up to 8.5 km (2WD should be fine). Waterbars not too concerning. The snowline started shortly after. There are a couple downed trees afterwards that will require a chainsaw to let anything bigger than a snowmobile through. Can't comment on waterbars beyond 9KM because of snow.

Road is in ok shape with a few rougher/steeper sections with some shallow but bumpy water bars, 2wd ok.
we hit snow at ~12k / 1200m elevation
We drove north to Pemberton, then 7 km northwest on Pemberton Meadows Road, and finally turned onto Miller Bench FSR. The FSR was completely clear of snow, so I was able to drive my Tacoma all the way up to the trailhead at 1500 meters high, at the 12 km FSR mark. An AWD vehicle with enough clearance and power is definitely required, as there are washouts along the way and steep, rocky inclines on the FSR.
