What wiki are you looking at? At
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tracktype, grade5 says
"Soft.
Almost always an unimproved track lacking hard materials, same as
surrounding soil. "
What if the surrounding soil is hard materials???
Clearly written by someone that has not seen rocky soil.

Option 3 won't work. Locally, tracks come in two basic types:
1) A logging road created by a work crew with a bulldozer. Cut down
any trees, scrape off any remaining vegetation, level the road
side-to-side, and call it done. These roads range in quality from
"easily passable by a passenger car" to "high-clearance
four-wheel-drive vehicle required".
2) A ranch road created by a truck driving the same route repeatedly
for years. These are generally fairly smooth, but the older ones are
only passable by a high-clearance truck because of the central ridge
between the tracks.
According to the wiki, these are uniformly "grade5" ("Almost always an
unpaved track lacking additional materials, same surface as surrounding
terrain."), although calling them "soft" is misleading, since the local
soil produces a rock-hard surface during the summer and fall (and a
muddy one during spring melt). They're tagged pretty much at random as
anything from "grade1" to "grade5".
