I have a sunshade I bought, but I only used it once when I parked my truck for a week in the summer. Just to much of a hassle to put up and down.

Jesus....tint the windshield?..lol. Just put a 8x4 sheet of plywood up instead.

Yes and no.

Technically, it's called window film, not tint. It's legal, and it doesn't make much of a difference at all on the windshield. It's nearly impossible to see the difference between my windshield with the 80% tint vs. a normal windshield. Even a windshield without anything on it won't pass 100% of light through it. More or less it's a UV barrier with a little bit of light rejection.

I use one from Auto heat shield. Have one for our Accord and bought one for my mom's Camry down in Arizona. They are custom cut vehicle specific. The fit is amazing. In Sonoma county it works great. I was most impressed with my mom using in Arizona. Could not touch the steering wheel in June with a Walmart one. With this one you could touch the steering wheel. I was most impressed with the company and always recommend when the topic comes up.
Sunshade for Dodge: Ram 1500 or Ram Hybrid: 2009-2016 Auto Heat Shield

Customer service was great also I had made an error when I ordered my mom's called them and the phone service was top notch which is so rare in this day.


Got one of these for my ram and one for my wife suv...they work really well and are definitely custom fit. A lot better than Walmart special...get what you pay for!

I have a jumbo size sun shade from oreillys for like $25 or so bucks. Can't remember the company's name was earlier this summer but it fits perfectly height wise but is a little wide. Still blocks the whole windshield and I don't care what the shield looks like lol the corners get bent a little from leaving it up in the windshield

I have a covercraft and I like it a lot. You get what you pay for the fit is very good and it seems very durable.

Bought an inter something, didn't fit very good, so returned it for a covercraft and love the way it fits.

Thinking of getting that Ram one though too.

let me know how the fit is, would you?
