    That's great, I was hoping it would fit like that.
    Thanks!

    I'm pretty happy with my custom made DashMat dashboard cover than using sunshades or reflectix. No need to fold it or store it away.

    The local Toyota dealer carried model-specific shades at a reasonable price. Had one for my first gen, and for my second gen. More robust and better fitting than anything available at auto parts chains, and about $30 IIRC.

    I have one of these I ordered directly as I live in AZ OP so I feel your pain. They really are that nice and fit perfectly. I paid 10$ extra to get a matching storage pouch for when not in use. I used their products for years and been very happy.

    Benefit of the double cab is that it usually lives on the back seat.

    Unfortunately my 53 lbs doofus dog is in the back seat. No bueno.

    I bought a cheapo circular one that you fold/taco and it’s been good enough. Benefit is that it fits in the map pocket.

    After reading your post, I looked online to find the one you referenced, couldn't find a part number or anything. Maybe your dealer carried the Covercraft ones. If you have more information on the one you bought I'd be interested in seeing if it's available.

    I just don't man. I found one for my 2001 at the dealer parts counter in a bin display near the register. Along with Camry etc. Then when I got my 2015, they still had the same bin, and with 2015s.

    It was not a covercraft. I looked at those online for my 2015, but they are about $20 more at least than the ones I found at the dealer that I was perfectly happy with.

    I’ve had the Covercraft UVS100 for quite a few years and they hold up well though they are fairly large folded up. I just received 2 more today that I ordered from autoanything.com. Part#10606. Around $60 each. They fit precisely to the size of the windshield and come in a variety of colors.EFB9914F-9773-45B8-AFA9-73884DF7B8BD.jpg

    Looks to me OP just wants to maximize his Taco PreRunner T-shirt ads. So how much are they? Be kind, I don’t want to choke my on my chicken when you tell us.
    Maybe you can sell a matching sunshade and a hat.
