TentBox GO vs Wild Land Lite Cruiser 120 XL
The TentBox GO and the Wild Land Lite Cruiser 120 XL are both softshell tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. TentBox and Wild Land take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.
On weight they are effectively level — 33 kg against 34 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 2.75 m² and 2.76 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 114 cm in the GO against 100 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. List prices are within $16 of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.
Canvas differs too: stormproof breathable UV-resistant fabric, 3000 mm hydrostatic head against 210D ripstop poly-oxford 3000mm silver-coated outer; 190g rip-stop polycotton PU2000mm inner; 210D poly-oxford PU2000mm floor; 600D oxford PU5000mm cover. The Lite Cruiser 120 XL adds a heater or HVAC port and integrated LED lighting, which the GO does not offer. Closed, the Lite Cruiser 120 XL sits 12 cm lower on the roof — 33 cm against 45 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
TentBox
GO
At 33 kg this is the lightest tent in the database by a wide margin, and it opens within the vehicle's own footprint rather than folding over the side. That combination puts a rooftop tent within reach of small cars whose roof limits rule out everything else.
- 33 kg, lighter than any other tent here
- Opens within the vehicle footprint
- 5-year warranty, longer than most tents near its price
- 45 cm closed height is the tallest packed profile here
Wild Land
Lite Cruiser 120 XL
The Lite Cruiser 120 XL is a compact two-person softshell double-fold tent opening to a 230 x 120 cm sleeping area on a dual-layer 3+4 cm mattress. It uses silver-coated 210D ripstop poly-oxford over 190g polycotton with a 600D cover, includes dimmable LED lighting and a diesel heater port, and the dealer states setup takes about 2-3 minutes. It is one of the lighter tents in Wild Land's EU range.
- Compact packed size (127 x 117 x 33 cm)
- Dimmable LED lighting and diesel heater port included
- Dealer states about a 2-3 minute setup
- Narrow 120 cm sleeping width suits two at most
