I am looking for a sunshade for my 2014 Ram 1500 SLT 5.7 Hemi, on amazon and other places many complained that it is shorter than the windshield length. I would like to get your guys opinion and recommendation, it is much warmer now and I would like to get a sunshade that works and prevents my truck from being so hot as well as protecting the dash from being faded. Thank you.

I second the Covercraft sunshade, have them for all my cars and makes a huge difference.

If you don’t already, might want to give tinted windows a look as well. The combination protects and keeps the interior temps down a lot.

Window shade will only help if the Ram is facing into the sun :waytogo:

As an added feature…… makes it look Bad ass too :waytogo::waytogo:

Yup that’s definitely something I’m doing just bummed out that my tint appointment is not until next month since they’re fully booked this month but I’m getting a 20% on both front windows and a windshield strip hopefully it’ll match the factory tint on back windows. I’m in ohio and they’re a pain with window tints, if I have 35% on front of windows I could get fined so windshield tint is definitely something I can’t do other than the strip which is legal so I’ll see how 20% will work out for me lol.

Factory back glass is just color in the glass, not really tint. I think most of us do darker on the front and lighter on the back overtop of the factory shading so the front and back match, or to keep the rear slightly darker for appearance of not being too dark.

For everyone who thinks you don't need to protect your dash. If you don't use a something in the windshield your dash will look like a bag of doritos in 3-4 years. Doesn't matter what model Ram you have. Been going on since the early 2000`s.

Well, I never knew that it was just color in the glass, I will probably tint the back another time then. I will see how it will be with the front tinted first. Thank you for the new information I really appreciate it.

I just went with a dash carpet

When i am working, sometimes we work with the Highway Patrol or other Law Enforcement Agency
When that happens, they check everyones vehicle for safety & legality.

I don't want to get sent home, because the tinted windows may be 1 shade too dark
