Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 vs Wild Land OrthFrame
Both of these are Wild Land tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 and the OrthFrame share Wild Land's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
By the numbers, the Wild Land Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 brings 71 kg, 2.44 m² of floor, 126 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Wild Land OrthFrame counters with 56 kg, 2.6 m² of floor, 114 cm of headroom and sleeps 2.
The OrthFrame is 15 kg lighter at 56 kg against 71 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Floor area is close to identical at 2.44 m² and 2.6 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 126 cm in the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 against 114 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Their list prices are within a few percent of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.
They open differently: the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 is a clamshell and the OrthFrame a fold-out. That is not cosmetic — it decides whether headroom is even across the tent or tapers towards one end, and how much of the roof the tent occupies when closed. The Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 uses aluminium honeycomb with silver coating; the OrthFrame uses aluminium frame. Canvas differs too: 210D ripstop poly-oxford 3000mm outer; 600D rip-stop oxford PU2000mm inner and floor against rip-stop oxford polyester PU3000mm fly with TPU window; 600D rip-stop poly-oxford PU2000mm interior; 600D poly-oxford PU3500mm floor. Closed, the Bush Cruiser V2 Pro 120 sits 15 cm lower on the roof — 18 cm against 33 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
