Horntools Track 130 vs Horntools Track 155
Both of these are Horntools tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The Track 130 and the Track 155 share Horntools's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The Track 130 is 11 kg lighter at 46 kg against 57 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Inside, the Track 155 gives 3.41 m² of sleeping floor against 2.86 m², about 19 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the Track 130's 2. The Track 130 lists $330 lower, at $1,199 against $1,529.
Canvas differs too: breathable sailcloth (300 g/m2), 80% cotton, 20% polyester (water column 2000 mm); rain cover 3000 mm against breathable sailcloth (300 g/m2), 80% cotton, 20% polyester (water column 2000 mm); rain cover 200D Oxford PU-coated 150 g/m2 (3000 mm).

Like the smaller Track it does not include integrated LED lighting.

Which one to pick
Take the Track 130 if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Take the Track 155 if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
