Anyone who’s camped out of a pickup knows the shell game. The tent eats the bed, the gear gets exiled to the back seat, and somebody’s cooler ends up riding shotgun for six hours. British tent maker Cinch Outdoors, alongside longtime manufacturing partner Wild Land, decided the answer was to simply build up. The result is the Wingman, a powered topper that stacks an entire second story on top of your truck.
A Basecamp That Builds Itself
Press a button on the included remote (or the companion app) and two tiers of electric scissor lifts hoist the Wingman from a flat box into a full camping tower in a matter of seconds.
Stowed, the whole thing collapses to a 25-inch-tall box that rides roughly level with your cab, sparing you the aerodynamic penalty of a traditional cabover camper. The powered party trick works in reverse for installation, too, with hydraulic legs that raise the unit so you can back the truck underneath and lower it onto the rails.
Your Bed Stays a Bed
Because the Wingman mounts to the bed rails rather than the floor, your cargo box stays completely open during travel. Once you’re parked, that same space becomes the first floor, and transforms into a flex zone with a foldaway bamboo worktop, MOLLE panels around the perimeter, and about 38 inches of height above the rails.
Better still, the lower level works on its own. Pop the fabric walls for a shaded lunch stop without deploying the whole rig.
The Penthouse Suite
Climb the ladder and you’ll find an 89 x 58-inch high-density foam mattress with room for two to three campers, wrapped in 270 degrees of mesh and just under 42 inches of sit-up headroom. Each floor gets its own Bluetooth speaker, plus magnetic LED light bars you can pull off and carry around camp.
The skylight is the sleeper feature here. It doubles as a hatch, letting you pop out of the roof like a tank commander to glass for wildlife or grab photos from a proper vantage point.
