Vickywood TEAK 1.0 135 vs Vickywood TEAK 2.0 180
Both of these are Vickywood tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The TEAK 1.0 135 and the TEAK 2.0 180 share Vickywood's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The TEAK 1.0 135 is 18 kg lighter at 63 kg against 81 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 TEAK 2.0 180 gives 3.3 m² of sleeping floor against 2.4 m², about 38 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the TEAK 1.0 135's 2. The TEAK 1.0 135 lists $324 lower, at $2,581 against $2,905.
The TEAK 1.0 135 uses aluminum; the TEAK 2.0 180 uses aluminium honeycomb with rubberized surface. Closed, the TEAK 1.0 135 sits 5 cm lower on the roof — 24.5 cm against 29.5 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.

Which one to pick
Take the TEAK 2.0 180 if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Take the TEAK 1.0 135 if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
