Weathertech - best sunshade I have ever purchased….fits perfectly. Every vehicle I own has one. https://www.weathertech.com/sunshade-ford-rangerraptor.html?year=2025

I have this one as well. It works really well, and you don't feel any heat from the windshield when you get in the car. It's a bit of a pain to roll it out and get it in place (takes maybe 30 seconds at most), but it's super light and easy to roll up and toss in the back seat when not in use. Also, it has a cool feature where if you reverse install it, it will heat your car in the Winter.

Here's how it looks from the outside.

Inside view.

I bought this one it folds up into a round size. At the time it said it fit the 2025 but they apparently have a different version no for the 6g?

nothing real special but it does fit And stay in place without using the visor. It has an opening for the rear view mirror but you still need to fit it around it.

i store it in the pocket behind my seat. It was pretty tight but my new tiger tough seats have a bigger pocket.

I have a similar but cut for the 2024 XLT.
Fits very well and seals around the edges. The cut for the mirror has a Velcro strip to seal around the mirror.
The shade is very thin so I wonder how well it actually works in reducing internal temps. The inside back side of the shade gets very hot.

I have this one from amazon

it fits really well, covers about as much as the windshield as possible, folds up and includes a storage bag.

I just ordered one, thanks for sharing!!

Mine’s an old one that came with performance parts for my old Subaru, from Primitive off-road. It’s a wire framed “flip/twist/fold” jobbie….,
maybe the ralleye crew isn’t as funny in the truck, but it works well, fits if I twist the rear view just a bit, and basically free…

Me too. I have a similar one to this. It is not the tightest fit, but it folds down fast into a small circle that you can stuff between the center console and passenger seat in seconds. And it doesn't bother the passenger. I have had it for 3 vehicles now and it is just starting to wear out.

I prefer the type that fold and this one from Amazon is very sturdy and has a nice storage bag.

Based on your recommendation, I ordered one and got it today. Good fit, thanks for posting this.

This one works great, don’t need to lower the visors https://amzn.to/4c4ZXOm

+1 for the non-branded Covercraft. I do wonder how well it does compared to some of the cheaper options out there. I will say that Covercraft is kind of a PITA to store when not in use. I usually set it on my backseat, but if I have passengers (which isn't often), then it comes a question of where to put it. I feel that some of the thin fabric ones that fold into circles would store easier behind the rear seat.

Dang, that one even has Nano Ice-Crystal Fabric!!! It must keep the interior below ambient!

But really, for $16 that is hard to beat.

You're welcome! Glad it works for you.

Yes but the steering wheel and seats seem cooler.

Yes but the steering wheel and seats seem cooler.

Since I have never used a sun shade, I was about to ask if the actually worked. So they are basically to keep sun off the seats and steering wheel, but the car will continue to be hot? My theory (and the reason I never bought one) was that the sun still pounds on the roof and gets in through the other five windows so I didn't think they would help much.
