my truck looks similar to that, how is it driving at night?

My truck has 5% all the way around. I guess that would depend on how well you like looking at your instrument cluster in the rear view mirror. You're not going to see crap out of the back glass, but you get used to it, and it's super handy for those jack asses that drive right behind you with their high beams on. (my truck is dropped 9 inches or so.)

Probably depends on the tint manufacturer. I used to work for 3M many years ago and 5% was their "Limo". 2.5 would be even darker. The number indcates light transmittance as a percentage.

You cant see much of anything with 5% on the side windows. 20% on the sides is about as dark as you want to go and still be able to drive with the windows up at night. I used to have a Toyota mini truck with 5% back, 20% sides and entire windshield top to bottom was 35%. It was just BLACK from all angles. Always got busted for the sides but got away with the windshield tinted for years and years because I told the cops it was factory and they believed me. Here in BC you are not allowed to tint any windows forward of the drivers shoulders, except for about 70mm on the top of the windshield I think it is.

so can you see out the back window at night with 20%.

i used to have a 4 door car back in the day with 5% back windows and 35% rear windshield and i could only see out the rear windshield at night when backing up. i really want to tint my truck since it doesn't have A/C but i back up to trailers and such even at night. so what is the maximum rear window tint yall working trucks use?

mine isnt far from this

[vegas80step]

5% sides and back... 45% front...









It looks like it would hard to see out of the front, but it's not... at night on a dark street with no street lights you have to roll down the sides to see cross traffic..
