more and more new truck questions.......

[zzchipster]

i am ordering a new 2013 trd dclb 4x4 tomorrow and get to add or subtract some things...it is in pre-production....should I:

get the factory tint or get it done locally

after purchase, weatherguard or husky liners....

i have always used husky liners, just wondering if weatherguard are any better. the huskies always curl up from getting in and out of front seats..

my new build:

2013 dclb 4x4 trd, entune,mats,tow package

just totaled 2008 dclb 4x4 trd...hit from behind while i was stopped...

Skip the floor mats and get weathertechs digital fit front and rear. And I'm a fan of factory tint since it isn't a film (durable in the long term).

x2 on the factory tint. You want whatever is built into the glass vs a film applied over it later.

Agree on both items.... factory tinted glass is worlds better than any applied film. And having owned Husky liners in a previous vehicle, I would definitely opt for Weathertechs.

Go with factory tint, film is always a bother trying not to scratch it and some brands don't last more than 2-3 years. If your wife rubs fog off of the window wearing a diamond ring, you'll be lucky you don't get a scratch in the film.

X3 on Weathertech floorliners, had mine permanently installed for about 150K now. Liked them so much I bought them for my Camry too. Get off the water and load the boat, take out the stock mats and throw them in the back seat, jump right in with wet or muddy feet. The stock mats are way tough, 170K and still on originals, the carpet, not so good if unprotected.

I'm likin' the Weathertech in-channel vent visors and factory bed mat too!

Yeah, is GST adding tint? Just because you can order it through a dealer doesn't mean it's "factory". GST offers a lot of add-ons that sound like factory options but are really aftermarket additions.

Go to toyota.com and look at "Options and Accessories" in the Tacoma area. If it's not listed there, it's not factory. I only see "privacy glass" mentioned in the context of the rear window. Even under the standard features, I don't see any mention of tinting in the side windows.

i am pretty sure it is a film tint...i was asking if the aftermarket tint is any better than the gst 3m tint...usually anything 3m makes is better than anything anybody else makes...

signed papers last nite...waiting for dec 15 delivery...

My three rear windows are not film tinted.
