True 4-Season Camping. Detachable Winter Thermal Liner. Summer Side Awning included.
The Go-Anywhere, Do-Anything Hardshell TentThe Wildnest Pioneer HD (Model: ZSRT01-BlackGrey) is the pinnacle of year-round rooftop camping. Unlike standard tents that struggle in extreme weather, the Pioneer HD is a complete expedition kit. Engineered for 4-season performance, it features an aircraft-grade aluminum hardshell and high-pressure hydraulic gas struts that deploy your basecamp in just 5 seconds.
Whether you are facing sub-zero alpine nights or blistering desert sun, this tent adapts. It includes a detachable winter thermal liner for maximum heat retention and a 78" x 78" side awning for instant summer shade. It’s the ultimate sleep system for trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, vans, and trailers.
The Problem & The Solution:The Pain: Most rooftop tents are uncomfortable in winter, turn into "ovens" in summer, and suffer from mattress-soaking condensation.
The Pioneer Solution: We provide a Thermal Liner for winter, an External Awning for summer, and a 4-Stage Moisture Barrier (including an Ocean Mat and flocked lining) to ensure a dry, home-like sleep every night.
Key Features: Built for the Modern Explorer
A detachable quilted liner that snaps into the interior, providing an extra thermal barrier to trap body heat during freezing expeditions.
Includes a 78.74" x 78.74" attachable awning with telescopic rods, offering instant protection from sun and rain outside your tent.
Stay connected with an integrated multi-port USB hub, allowing you to charge devices or run fans without external cable clutter.
The aluminum shell is equipped with top racks, perfect for mounting extra luggage, recovery boards, or solar panels.
High-pressure hydraulic gas struts allow the tent to pop up automatically after unlatching. Zero effort, zero wasted time.
Constructed with rugged aluminum and rounded corners for superior durability, wind resistance, and protection against low-hanging branches.
A pre-installed interior LED strip provides uniform illumination for reading or organizing gear once the sun goes down.
Features 13 interior storage pouches, a ladder storage bag, and two waterproof shoe bags to keep mud and clutter outside.
The 4-Layer "Dry-Sleep" SystemWaking up on a wet mattress is the most common complaint in rooftop camping. Wildnest solves this with a multi-stage condensation barrier that is standard on every Pioneer HD.
1.96" High-Density Support Mat 0.39" Condensation Barrier Mat 0.20" Moisture Absorbing Ocean Mat Flocked Insulated Lining FloorCombined with 320g polyester walls and YKK zipper netting windows, you get maximum ventilation without sacrificing a warm, dry interior.
"The Pioneer HD transformed our overland setup. The winter liner is a total game changer—we stayed toasty in the Rockies at 20 degrees. Setup is literally five seconds; by the time my buddies have their ground tents out, I'm already in my chair under the side awning with a beer. The luggage racks are super sturdy for our recovery boards, too."

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.
The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov

Here's why we think you should shop with us at ExtrailAuto.
The wait time was more than I anticipated even after seeing the notification of long lead times. I have to give them props for giving some compensation for the excessive wait time. Having slightly larger holes would help with fitment. Had a hard time getting the front drivers side away from the pinch weld. Eventually had to use washers to add space away from the truck. Need to update pictures and instalation video for the new sliders they are now making
All packing and shipment were great, everything was there. I had to contract out the install because of arthritis, it took them two hours and looks perfect. Zero wind noise at any speed 0 to 100.
Absolutely love my new rack and roam cases. Appreciate the Sherpa crew as well for their hospitality while the installation was taking place.
Fit and finish is excellent. Looks great on the Bronco. No whistling noise at all, some additional wind noise over 60mph but not much different than it was without the rack. Assembly was not too difficult. Instructions and videos could be a little better.
The quality and dedication of the team at Sherpa is evident from the very first interaction with them, and is further proven in the product itself. This rack is well engineered, easy to assemble, easy to adjust, and holds up incredibly well with no loosening or rattling or shifting (even after over 200 miles of driving on poorly maintained roads). Currently operating with approximately 180 pounds of gear mounted on the bed rack and no issues at all so far. I expected the vibration to work the bolts loose over time, but every time I check they're all still snug. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger and get this rack sooner.
First of all, the team at Sherpa is full of passion for adventure and that passion shows in the quality of their products. This roof rack looks incredible and surprised me with it's sturdiness. No loosening of hardware, even after weeks of driving. Currently holding approximately 80 pounds of gear for everyday driving, plus an additional 110 strapped on top during a camping trip (and I even stood on top of the entire loadout). No warping, bending, twisting, or slipping. The fact that this matches the bed rack perfectly in height is the icing on the cake. Easily serves as a tie off for a tarp, rain fly, hammock, or whatever you need. Perfect for modular campsite setup and quick teardown.
I bought the Sherpa Crestone rack for my 2024 4Runner TRD Pro. Incredibly well-made and excellent design. Spend the extra , to get best roof rack in the market. You won’t regret it.
This is our first roof rack that we are going to use to put a RRT (roof top tent) on for back country trips. Well-built product that came with all the nuts, bolts and washers to complete the installation. Took about 1-1/2 to 2 hours install the rack. You will another person to help place the racks on top of the Jeep for final install. Overall, a great, well-built American product
Install was super easy. The quality was great. Customer service was quick to respond to any issues! I’ve already been getting compliments on it and what brand it is. This will be great for camping this year!
This is on my tundra absolutely solid rack looks fantastic extremely modular, which is why I went this route. I can use the whole rack when traveling and over landing then rock the chase rack only when the rest is not in use, I actually use the recovery traction board mounts for my shower room set up, which works amazingly just relocated the board somewhere shown in picture keep innovating TUWAand I’ll keep purchasing.
Good looking cat shields made of stainless steel with cooling holes. Priced well, easy install, no issues. Would buy again.
Great service from their staff. Robert help me through all the process with a request I had, he responded all emails in a timely manner and provided great help.
We received it within 3 days and installed the same day. Great awning and very well made.
the tent is very nice, comfortable and roomy.
Following the instructions was fairly easy. Its better to have second person to set it up. I really like the tent and the support that from ExtrailAuto. Really recommeded! Thanks
