At least you have good approach, breakover and especially departure angles.

Going vertical is the easy part, the tremor's shortcomings? Good luck to tremor owners trying to keep up with your BS

I could be wrong but, I believe the tremor comes standard with 235/65/17 tires. Whereas the badlands is rated 8.8 with 225/65/17 and the 235/65/17 is an upgraded option. Which should give an additional clearance.

8.8” is with the 235s on a BL

Basically a finger width difference in ground clearence between the Tremor and BS Badlands isn't a big deal, It also doesn't help the Tremors offroad performance according to Car and Driver's review.
All the articles I've read state the Tremor has a 1.0" lift, but do not say how it's accomplished.
The Maverick platform also massaged the wheelbase, it's been stretched 16", and the overall length has increased 28.0".
I really like the Maverick platform, especially in Hybrid form.

The Maverick starts with a higher ground clearance before adding the Tremor package. The FX4 version provides 8.6".

If I had to guess why the Maverick has better ground clearance than the Bronco Sport I would say the longer distance between the axles on the Maverick affords more space to tuck things up and out of the way.

Regardless, the more important stats for off-roading are approach, departure, and breakover angles. The Bronco Sport's numbers are better for all three.
