your truck already has the max tint allowed built into the windows.
there might be a couple of points to play with. but your not going to find anything that light to add on to the windows.
don't beleive me. roll window down a little. put eyes through the window then above the window. you'll see the difference.
i used to be a auto mechanic. licenses safety and emissions inspector. so i had access to those light meters. if i remember right. cars already had 25% in the windows.Roadmedic Thanks this. -
You are allowed 70% tint on top of the factory glass.
Don't forget seeing in the mirrors at night. As much as I like tint I won't tint a truck for that reason.nitetride379x and Meltom Thank this. -
And then you have different rules by different states DOT , local law enforcement to deal with / worry about as well as a few seem to have their own rules on what is TOO DARK

Are u ou doing for looks or because of the sun.. if dbecause of the sun.. I have some early morning runs headed East, and that monrning sun can be blinding... those sun shades you put on the outside tbat hang down over the top of the windows do a good job...

Here's state by state. I don't see any stricter than 70% tint other than CO, MI, NH, NJ and VT might be enought to spoil it. Some are more lenient. So if you don't run them states you should be cool.

0-1 years experience? Company driver? You won't have to worry about any laws. Your boss will show you who's boss! -
It is NOT 70 per cent tint, it is 70 percent of the light has to pass through. So the tinting would be 30 per cent is the max allowable.
