What is the best Sun Shade for my F450?

Need a Sun Shade for my 2017 F450. What is the best one out there.

Would like to find one with some kind of logo, FORD, SUPERDUTY -- or something other than just a plain sun shade.

Your expert advice always appreciated.

I'll second this one.

Though my windshield shade left a little to be desired, it is getting the job done. The entire truck is blacked out on the inside.

I made my own for our 2004 F350 (crew cab), and on long motorcycle/camping trips i would drive until i was tired, then pull over in a rest area or truck stop....put the shades in the windows and climb in the back seat...and sleep for HOURS (when its blacked out) even in the sunlight.

these weather tech ones are better than i could ever make.

I agree about the WeatherTech sun shades. They don't have the Ford logo, but they fit perfectly. I ordered a full set for my truck and they are excellent.

WeatherTech it is!!

I appreciate the advice. I liked what I saw on the WeatherTech site and put in the order.

Thanks again.

You won't regret it. My weathertech shade works very well in the F450.

I have the full set of WeatherTech shades and am impressed by the fit and finish. Put all the pieces up, close the moon roof shade and it's black out inside.

The one draw back? They take up a lot of room rolled up for storage.

I'll carry the windshield and front door pieces regularly but only take the rest on an extended trip when the truck is parked on the hot desert floor waiting for me to return from a long day of riding.

I ordered mine on Monday and received them Thursday. Was a little leary of spending this much on sun shades, but from reviews on this site thought I have spent more on less. Tried them out today and all I can say is thanks for this thread. Got the full set and like said above, it blacks the inside out when you put them in. Having a black truck I can see this making a big difference when it is parked outside. The fit is perfect on all windows, installs easy, really don't have any negatives. I went ahead and got the storage bag too, which does make it easier to store.
