Here are some tips for driving in Death Valley:
1. You don't need a heavy-duty offroad vehicle or even an SUV to enjoy the scenery roads in DV. Any road-legal car can let you drive thru the majority of view points like badwater basin, zabriskie point, and many others including hiking trails.
2. However, if you deem driving as a hobby or you are already an off-roading fan, the backcountry roads in DV is a must try! DV probably has the most total miles of backcountry roads among all US national parks. Many of the unique breathtaking view points are only accessible via unpaved roads. Usually there are far less visitors at these view points which means you will take unobstructed pictures easily and have more dedicated time. An extreme reverse example is the wall street bull: always surrounded by a crowd.
3. For titus canyon road, racetrack road and aguereberry point road, 4x4 is not necessary if road surface is dry. What I drove in the video is a 4x4 Jeep Patriot with regular all-season tire. Yes, even all-terrain tire is optional. I see many sedan-like SUVs like CRV and RAV4 can handle these roads very well. As long as your vehicle has high clearance, there is no technical issue WHEN IT IS DRY (4x4 only if it is wet). But, please bear in mind that in such a remote area, towing service is super expensive if not impossible. What car you will offroad with is really a personal choice and either way can work 99% of the time. For the 1% unexpected incident, 4x4 and all-terrain tire can give you an extra layer of security and more ease in mind. Also, all the off-road driving techniques should apply. Know your car, drive with caution, manage friction, etc. Most importantly, whatever car you are driving, BRING TIRE INFLATOR, FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE, TIRE CHANGE TOOLS and TIRE FIX KIT you familiar with. Never go off-road if you don't know how to change a tire or fix a tire.
4. Titus canyon road has loose stones sometimes, the friction is lower. This is dangerous if you drive downhill. Focus on the road and slow down before you enter the loose stone area. Well, drifting is easy on the other side. Be safe and have fun.
5. Racetrack has better tire traction than titus canyon. The challenge is sharp stones. Follow previous tire tracks and avoid sharp stones as many as possible. DON'T RUSH, LEAVE A WHOLE DAY FOR RACETRACK. Slow down if you don't feel comfortable with the road condition.
6. The 6-mile Aguereberry point road is relatively easy. Be careful when the road grade is steep.
7. The above opinions are merely based on my personal experience. Your mileage may vary. Always use caution and focus when you are driving. Also, there are so many other roads in DV that I can't manage to cover. Do some research and enjoy your own exploration.

Death Valley - Titus Canyon Drive - Climbing up to Red Pass
Death Valley - Descent from Red Pass through Titus Slot Canyon
Titus Canyon is a drive-able slot canyon in the north-eastern section of Death Valley National Park that will have you awe-struck and hooting with exhilaration. [Skip to 7:30 if you just want to see the slot.]
To get there, gas up in Beatty NV, visit the nearby Rhyolite ghost town, then take Titus Canyon Road northward from the junction a couple of miles from Rhyolite. The first 6 miles are washboard penance, followed by beautiful, narrow Red Pass, then down to the old Leadfield ghost town.
Upper Titus canyon begins just below the ghost town, undulating around rock outcroppings, past petroglyphs and desert bighorn sheep for miles.
The canyon walls close in as you enter lower Titus Canyon's slot, becoming water-worn from flash floods. The track squeezes narrow and sinuous between rising walls that blaze in the sunshine above as you navigate the dark canyon depths.
If you ever get the chance, DO THIS DRIVE. You'll want high clearance, or a short wheelbase. Low slung passenger cars may leave bits of undercarriage along the way. This really is a world-class drive, worth every washboard on the way in.
