Do you tint just the front, or light tint over the rear tinted and match the front?

I recently traded my 2013 SCrew FX4 Appearance Package for a 2016 XLT FX4 Sport.

When I tinted the previous truck I only did the front windows, the 16 seems to have lighter rear tinting.

Depends on what look you want. Just my fronts are done. I believe matching the rear window tint is illegal in a lot of states.

Here in Ontario Canada, you can't tint the windshield and the front windows can only be 30%

I did my fronts with 20% to match what the backs were supposed to be but the fronts turned out to be a tad darker. Going to go back and have 50% put on the backs to darken them up a bit.

I had my fronts matched to the rear. Both are now at 18%, which isn't legal. Doubt I'll get stopped, though. I see tints much darker all the time.

All depends on what state you are in. Tennessee and Georgia have a limit on how dark the front windows can be. The tint on my back widows would be illegal on my front windows.

First stop is always my tint shop. I did 20% all the way around. Brings the back to 5% limo. I open the sunroof shade so more light comes in while driving and less cop attraction. Close it when parking for more security.

I was never into tint until I drove my wifes 2015 Mustang GT. She had 20% all around, 35% top to bottom windshield, with a 20% visor strip OVER that. Driving around the Atlanta summer has never been nicer. Never will you need to drive with sunglasses on, and it keeps the interior significantly cooler when in a hot parking lot. So I did the same with our new '16, except for the visor strip. Someone could argue its safer because there is no sun/glare issues when you drive. At 20% I can stare directly at the sun and only have to squint a little.

Windshield - 35% top to bottom
4 door rollups - 20%

I'm fully aware most of that is not legal, but its EXTREMELY nice to drive around with this daily. Its already worth getting a ticket, and I haven't gotten one yet.

Something I haven't seen anyone else do: I had clear ceramic solar rejecting tint applied to the panoramic sunroof. I didn't want it any darker as I want to be able to see through it at night, and if I want to block light I can always close the power shade. The ~20% tint to the front side windows was also ceramic. I did nothing to the back or rear windows, yet the truck stays significantly cooler in the summer sun.
