Wild Land Voyager Pro 160 vs Wild Land Voyager Pro 230
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 Voyager Pro 160 and the Voyager Pro 230 share Wild Land's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The Voyager Pro 160 is 13 kg lighter at 53 kg against 66 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 Voyager Pro 230 gives 4.6 m² of sleeping floor against 3.68 m², about 25 percent more, and it sleeps 5 to the Voyager Pro 160's 4. List prices are within $189 of each other, so price is unlikely to decide this one.

Which one to pick
Take the Voyager Pro 230 if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Take the Voyager Pro 160 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.
