Tinted windows, etc?

[JimKIII]

Getting ready to order a 2022 Big Horn 2500. Couple of questions:
1. Are any of the windows tinted by default?
2. If not, can tinted windows be added to an order?
2. Do/can dealers add an exterior protective coating to the paint, as an add-on, before delivery?
Thanks!

1-Yes, the rear windows and back glass. It's embedded in the glass. No, there is no factory tint option for the front windows.
2-You can source your own or your dealer can add film tint to the rear to make it darker. The front windows are not tinted from factory and you or your dealer can do the same as the rears.
3-Yes. You need to ask if they offer it. Many members on here DIY it. Check out ceramic coating. I haven't done it so I'm not sure what brands are best.
Hope this helps.

Get after market ceramic tint, not from the dealer. It blocks the UV Ray's that heat up the cab. Well worth the extra money.

My advice is to not get window tinting or paint protection added by the dealer. Both are high mark-up items for the dealer. The window tint is typically done by a local businesses with the lowest grade film. You are much better off buying direct from the same business and your choice of name band quality film and tint level.

FYI, the factory rear window tint does nothing for heat rejection. If this is a concern in your area get the aftermarket ceramic tint like mentioned above. It really helps keep the cab cooler.

The paint protection is usually just a liquid polymer type wax, nothing you couldn't easily do yourself.

I had my tint guy sheet over the factory back and rear tint. with that and premium tint on front glass and doors, makes for a "cooler" interior. especially in texas.
