Mine is a 2011, but I have 20% on the fronts.

I think it matches the rear and back glass pretty good. Nothing like a good tint job to really set a truck off. One of my favorite mods for sure!

The match will depend on your interior color and brand your installer uses, 15% from one brand can look completely different than 15% from another brand

I took my truck to a local tinting place. Told them I wanted to the windows to match on the outside. I have the light tan interior. He ran the shade matcher/ spectrometer/ whatever you want to call it, and recommended 15-18%. I went with 18%. Matches perfectly looking in, but does seem ever so slightly darker on the front windows looking out of the truck. With the reverse camera no problems at night.

20% on all doors and limo over factory tint on rear window. The rear doors were factory tinted also.

Seems that 20% matched the best ...
