Direct4x4 ClamTrekk vs Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120

The Direct4x4 ClamTrekk and the Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 are both hardshell tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. Direct4x4 and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.

The Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 is 5 kg lighter at 71 kg against 76 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. The ClamTrekk lists $469 lower, at $1,984 against $2,453.

The ClamTrekk uses honeycomb aluminium; the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 uses aluminium honeycomb with silver coating. Canvas differs too: 65% polyester / 35% cotton, mould-proof, water resistant 10,000 mm against 210D ripstop poly-oxford 3000mm outer; 600D rip-stop oxford PU2000mm inner and floor.
