cover for cargo area for LC200 2015

[Roy Park]

Yeah, same as Tony. The rears stay on all the time generally because I keep gear in my truck all the time and can't see out the back anyway. I leave the middles and fronts handy and tend to put them up in our parking garage if the truck is going to sit for over 24 hours and definitely when staying at hotels on the road.

Great for security, great for camping.

This truck is my daily so I won’t be keeping it trail ready 24/7. My Tundra is a different story. The LC will be dedicated to runs with narrow trails and family camping.

There is a solution that fits...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XB8ZFB8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You can find it on Amazon. It requires drilling into the paneling. I live in San Francisco, LOTS of break-ins. Windows are limo tint, for my 100 I used to use a black blanket.

With this, you have to take out the last row. Other concerns I have is the cover may come out damaging the paneling. The construction is decent actually. I was hoping I could trim it to fit around the third row, but it doesn't look like a good fit. It would mount above the last row's cup holders.

What I am going to do is prob go little arts and crafts and see if I can get someone to make me something out of black sheets that clips to back of headrests and back of the car.

I would say for anyone that is not using last row this is a good solution. And if concerned about rear paneling I would take paneling out and go with bolt and nut for installation with an adhesive/metal plate so the mounts are firmly attached with paneling.

This is not likely what you were thinking, but it is incredibly effective for theft deterrence:

Dark window tinting.

I have limousine-dark tinting from my passenger row, rearward. I worried that it would be a nuisance for visibility, but it really hasn't been. Night or day, you can see OUT from the inside, but people absolutely CANNOT see inside. Not even in bright daylight or darkness.

I keep mega-electronics on the backs of my front seats, and with the tinting, they are essentially hidden, along with anything I might have in back like rifles, computers, etc.

Dark tinting has other benefits:
-Keeps the truck FAR cooler in the heat of summer (no sun-beams blasting on the interior)
-Protects interior material from UV break-down
-You are not limited to hiding what fits below a rear cover. EVERYTHING back there becomes invisible, even if stacked to the ceiling.

I've never been a fan of dark tinting, because I think my brain always associated it with thuggish cars and bad attitudes (revealing some personal bias I guess), but wow. I love it now.

Also... It really does provide amazing privacy while driving, or sleeping in the back. Probably saved me a cell phone ticket or three when I pick up na incoming call, or set Google maps.

Here you can see the look. Front row is also tinted, but light. Second row and back is super dark.
I'll try to post an image of the view from inside to show visibility.

Isn't your rig an 08? Per what I am reading in the post linked below 2008 did not have factory tint at all. 2009 had it on the sides, but not on the hatch window. 2010 added tint to the hatch window.

Point is, adding limo tint to the factory tinted window can be actually too much.

Indeed this picture shows a USDM 200 without tint at all:

I had a 2008. It did have factory tint, but none on the hatch window.

Weird. Was it an option? The picture above rather clearly shows tintless 200.

I don’t know. My 2008 clearly was tinted from the factory and the back glass was clear. I got it new. All of the ones I saw back then were the same way.
