What Does 20% Windshield Tint Look Like on a 2015β2026 Ford F-150?
See what 20% Carbon windshield tint looks like on a 2015β2026 Ford F-150. This burgundy 2019 F-150 received 20% on the full windshield for privacy, glare reduction, appearance, and added heat rejection.

This is what 20% windshield tint looks like on a 2015β2026 Ford F-150, installed at Dope Tintings in Pennsauken, NJ. We've been installing automotive window tint for more than 20 years and have worked on more than 30,000 vehicles.
This particular truck was a burgundy 2019 Ford F-150 with a dark red/burgundy interior. The customer came to us from the Delran, NJ area β one of many South Jersey communities we serve β wanting a very dark setup with privacy being his biggest priority.
For the full front windshield, we installed 20% Carbon window film. The customer was already familiar with 20% windshield tint because he'd had the same percentage on previous vehicles, so he knew how dark it would be and was comfortable with the nighttime visibility.

What 20% Windshield Tint Looks Like on a 2015β2026 Ford F-150
20% windshield tint gives a Ford F-150 a very dark appearance from outside.
On this burgundy 2019 F-150, the windshield makes it difficult to see into the cab under many daytime lighting conditions. Combined with the dark interior and the rest of the customer's dark tint setup, the finished truck has the privacy-focused appearance he wanted.
The interior photos show an important difference between looking at 20% windshield tint and looking through it.
From outside, the windshield appears extremely dark. From the driver's seat during the daytime, the roadway, vehicles, buildings, signs, and surrounding environment remain visible through the glass.
That doesn't mean 20% will provide the same visibility as clear glass, especially after dark. Lighting conditions make a major difference.
For someone researching what 20% looks like on an F-150, it's important to look at both exterior and interior photos instead of judging the percentage from the outside alone.

Why Did We Choose 20% for This Ford F-150?
For this customer, the biggest reason was simple: privacy.
He wanted a very dark vehicle and planned to combine the 20% windshield with an approximately 5% appearance across the sides and back of the truck.
He was already familiar with 20% windshield tint because he'd used it on other vehicles. He wasn't choosing the percentage without knowing what to expect.
The customer also wanted some heat rejection, which led to a separate decision about the film package.
He chose Carbon instead of Standard, but didn't feel the need to pay the additional cost for Ceramic.
Another tint shop had told him that Ceramic would allow him to see more clearly through the same dark percentage. We explained that Ceramic's main advantage is its heat-rejection performance β it doesn't turn a 20% shade into a lighter percentage.
A customer may prefer the optical characteristics of one film over another, but if nighttime visibility is the concern, the biggest decision is still the tint percentage.
For this customer, Carbon provided the additional heat performance he wanted without moving up to the Ceramic price.

Does 20% Windshield Tint Make It Hard to See at Night?
20% is a very dark windshield percentage, and nighttime visibility is significantly reduced compared with 35%, 50%, 55%, or 70%.
That's something we discuss before installing a windshield this dark.
This customer was comfortable with that tradeoff because he'd already driven other vehicles with 20% windshield tint. His priority was privacy, and he specifically wanted the darker setup.
That doesn't mean we'd recommend 20% to every driver.
Someone who frequently drives on poorly lit roads, has difficulty seeing at night, or simply isn't accustomed to dark windshield tint should consider a lighter percentage.
For customers who want a noticeably tinted windshield while maintaining more nighttime practicality, 35% is generally our go-to darker windshield option. Customers who want even more visibility can consider 50%, 55%, or 70%.

What Are the Window Tint Laws in New Jersey for a Pickup Truck?
New Jersey restricts aftermarket tint on the full front windshield.
A 20% full windshield tint is not permitted under New Jersey's standard window tint rules. The customer featured in this article did not have a medical exemption.
The legal requirements for a windshield are also different from the rules affecting glass behind the driver on vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs.
Before choosing a percentage, read our complete guide:
New Jersey Window Tint Laws Explained β 2026 Guide
We can explain the available percentages and film packages, but customers should understand the legal requirements before choosing a full-windshield installation.
If you want a legal windshield option that still provides meaningful heat rejection, we also install 70% and 80% Ceramic windshield film. These percentages comply with New Jersey's standard tint rules while blocking a significant portion of infrared heat and UV. Many customers are surprised by how much difference a legal windshield film makes on a hot South Jersey summer day.

What Happens to My NJ Inspection Sticker When You Tint the Windshield?
On vehicles with a New Jersey inspection sticker, we offer an optional $20 inspection-sticker removal service when tinting the full windshield.
For this process, we carefully remove the existing inspection sticker and clean the remaining adhesive from the windshield.
That allows us to prepare and tint the glass without installing film over the sticker or leaving adhesive underneath the film.
After the windshield film is installed, we place the inspection sticker onto static-cling material and reposition it on the inside of the windshield.
This makes the sticker easier to remove later without having to peel it directly from the window film.
It's important to understand that this service does not make an otherwise noncompliant windshield tint legal or guarantee that the vehicle will pass a New Jersey inspection. A customer choosing a full-windshield setup should understand the applicable tint and inspection requirements before installation.
If your F-150 already has old aftermarket windshield film that needs to come off before we install new tint, our tint removal service starts at $74.99. See our tint removal service.

How Long Does It Take to Tint a Ford F-150 Windshield?
For the full windshield on this 2015β2026 Ford F-150, installation takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
This particular windshield did not have existing aftermarket tint that needed to be removed before installation.
We prepare and clean the windshield before installing the film because contamination on such a large piece of glass can be especially noticeable when it's directly in the driver's field of view.
If an inspection sticker is being removed or other preparation is necessary, that work is handled before the windshield film is installed.

How Much Does It Cost to Tint a Ford F-150 Windshield in South Jersey?
For the full front windshield on a 2015β2026 Ford F-150, our current pricing is:
| Film Package | Full Windshield | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $124.99 | Appearance, privacy, UV blocking |
| Carbon | $149.99 | Everything in Standard + significant heat rejection |
| Ceramic | $224.99 | Everything in Carbon + maximum heat and UV blocking |
The customer featured in this article chose 20% Carbon windshield tint for $149.99.
He wanted better heat rejection than Standard without paying the additional cost for Ceramic.
Standard is the right choice for customers focused on appearance and reducing visible light. Carbon adds meaningful heat rejection over Standard. Ceramic is our top package β on a truck sitting in a South Jersey summer parking lot, the difference in cab temperature is immediately noticeable.
All film packages include a manufacturer warranty.
If the existing New Jersey inspection sticker needs to be removed, cleaned, and placed onto static-cling material as part of the windshield installation, that service is an additional $20.
This customer also had the sides and back of his F-150 tinted to an approximately 5% appearance β a separate service that brought the total job to a fully tinted truck. We'll cover that installation separately so you can see exactly how the sides and rear were done. In the meantime, you can compare full-vehicle pricing on our window tinting packages page.
