Designed to mount on truck beds and equipped with advanced lift systems, the Wingman offers ample living space and smart features—all at a surprisingly affordable starting price.
- Two stories of living space atop your pickup bed
- Electric lift system with remote and app control
- Includes integrated lighting, Bluetooth speakers, and skylight
What happened
Wild Land, a Chinese outdoor innovator, teamed up with British tent maker Cinch Outdoors to introduce the Wingman, a two-level camper topper designed for pickups, to the US market. The Wingman is an evolution of the 2024 Safari Cruiser, featuring a double-lifting design with electrically actuated scissor lifts that quickly transform the camper into a two-story base camp.
The camper mounts on pickup bed side rails without occupying the bed floor, turning the open truck bed into a flexible first level space for dining, storage, or relaxing. Above it is a rooftop tent sleeping area for two to three campers, complete with panoramic mesh windows, weather panels, and a skylight for stargazing. All functions, including lifts and lighting, are controlled remotely via a smartphone app or remote control.
Why it feels good
The Wingman brings a new level of comfort and convenience by combining a sizeable two-floor setup with smart technology rarely found in pickup campers at this price point. It allows campers to set up quickly and enjoy both a ground-level flexible area and a protected elevated sleeping space with great views and fresh air.
By integrating Bluetooth speakers, magnetic light bars, and powered hydraulic stabilizers all controlled from one interface, it offers a hassle-free camping experience where users can personalize their setup with ease. Its rooftop lookout not only enhances the adventure but also helps campers stay connected with nature, adding to the appeal for outdoor lovers.
What to enjoy or watch next
Campers can look forward to exploring the great outdoors with this versatile camper that fits atop existing pickup trucks without limiting bed space, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles and trip types. Whether a quick lunch stop or an overnight stay, the Wingman adapts to the moment.
Keep an eye on the evolving market for more innovations like this, as companies continue to blend technology and design to improve how people camp and travel. The Wingman's arrival in the US could inspire further creative approaches to adventure vehicles, offering ever more ways to enjoy nature comfortably and conveniently.
