- 2021 Badlands | 2020 Escape
Ford's marketing and advertisement material says the Badlands has one inch more ground clearance than other Bronco Sport trims. According to this press release, one-half inch comes from taller tires, and the other from taller, softer springs. A quick check using the calculator over at www.tiresize.com shows that a 235/65R17 tire is exactly one-half inch taller than a 225/65R17. This suggests to me there is at least SOME inaccuracy with HRG's measurement. For one thing, he only measured at one corner. In addition, vehicle loading can affect ride height.
