    Does anyone know what percent is the factory glass tint for the TRD pro?

    If you're attempting to tint the front windows so the rears match it will never happen. The windows are dyed and the tint you install is a film. You'll need to tint all windows for it to look right.

    My truck didn't come with any tint. Its white SR and trying to figure out what would look good on it. I saw pro and seems like a good balance, not too light and too dark

    Ah gotcha. IMO go with 22% all around. Looks good but you aren't handicapped too much when driving in the evening. Also, tint varies by state I believe for the vehicles from factory because of state laws.

    My off road had rear factory tint. The factory tint is perfect in my opinion...blocks enough light while still allowing good visibility at night. I had the fronts tinted to "match". It looks pretty close but is not the same. From the outside it is not as noticeable, but I can really tell the fronts are darker when inside. Oh well.

    Factory wont do much of anything. I paid to have mine ceramic all around, even the windshield. Backwindows and cab windows are super dark, front windows are dark but have a bit of transparency, and my windshield is tinted slightly for glare.
