The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport has a ground clearance of 7.8-inches. However, what sets this model apart is the immense amount of available off-road equipment.

You don't want to take a stock Trailblazer off-road. While Trailblazer ground clearance measures eight inches and all-wheel-drive is available, this Chevy SUV isn't geared for off-road adventures. It's best to keep this model on the paved roads. Don't expect to blaze any trails in the Chevy Trailblazer.

New Ford Bronco Sport or Chevrolet Trailblazer? Here's Why You Should Get the Bronco Sport.

The only aspect that the new Chevy Trailblazer has going for it is the price, but you get what you pay for in a sense. The engines are underpowered, and there isn't enough off-road equipment to actually help it blaze a trail. There isn't even much competition to be had with the Chevy Trailblazer RS model. If you want the ultimate off-road capability, plenty of power, and lots of features, the new Ford Bronco Sport, or Baby Bronco as it's called, is perfect for you.
