If you drive a Ford F-150, the one thing that decides which windshield sunshade you need is your model year. Ford redesigned the truck for 2015 and again for 2021, and our shades follow those two windshields: one pattern for 2015–2020 and one for 2021–2026. This page walks you from your year to the right shade, compares the three 2021–2026 styles side by side, and answers the fit questions F-150 owners ask us most.
Find your F-150 by model year
| Model years | Generation | Windshield shades we list |
|---|---|---|
| 2015–2020 | 13th generation | Foldable (silver) · Foldable (USA flag print), currently out of stock |
| 2021–2026 | 14th generation | Foldable (silver) · Umbrella · Ice Crystal |
Year ranges match the model years on each product listing (checked 2026-10-31). The generation split lines up with Ford's redesigns: the 13th-generation F-Series launched for the 2015 model year and the 14th generation for 2021 (13th gen, 14th gen). We don't currently list an F-150 windshield shade for 2014 or older trucks.
The 2020 vs. 2021 question
This is the edge we get asked about most. A 2020 and a 2021 F-150 sit on different generations with different windshields, so they use different shades. A 2015–2020 shade is not the pick for a 2021 truck, and a 2021–2026 shade is not the pick for a 2020. If you're not sure of your model year, check the sticker on the driver-door jamb or your registration rather than the purchase date.
2021–2026 F-150: foldable, umbrella, or Ice Crystal?
For the 14th-generation truck we make three separate shades. They are different products, not color options of one listing, so each has its own page and specs.
| Foldable | Umbrella | Ice Crystal | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it goes up | Spring-steel frame pops open | Opens like an umbrella over the dash | Framed shade with a steel ring frame |
| How it stays put | Frame holds the shade pressed to the glass | Handle hooks over the mirror stem; the frame grips the windshield edges | Steel ring frame keeps its shape for a secure fit |
| Reflective face | Premium silver-coated reflective fabric | Ice-crystal fabric | Ice-crystal black reflective layer |
| Stores as | Twist-folded disc in the included sleeve | Collapsed in the included sleeve | Folded in the included pouch |
| Best if you | Park once a day for long stretches | Get in and out many times a day | Want the darker face with a framed fit |
The foldable and umbrella listings both say the shade keeps the dashboard surface up to 54°F cooler. For everything else, including UV figures, go by each product page, since the three are built differently.
2015–2020 trucks come in the foldable style only, in plain silver or the USA flag print. The flag print is currently out of stock.
Lightning, Raptor, Tremor, and hybrid trucks
Our listings are written by model year, not by trim. Our 2021–2026 listings don't list the Raptor, Tremor, or PowerBoost hybrid separately, and they don't list the F-150 Lightning either. The 2015–2020 USA flag listing notes that the Lightning, a 2022-and-newer truck, is not covered by that listing. If you drive one of these trims, email support@proadsy.com with your year and trim and we'll confirm the fit before you order. Cab style (Regular Cab, SuperCab, SuperCrew) doesn't change which windshield shade you start from; it matters for car covers.
What size is an F-150 windshield?
We get this search a lot, but a single width would steer you wrong. A custom-fit shade is cut to a specific windshield, mirror area included, so the useful question is which year range you're in, not how many inches across the glass is. Match your year in the table above, and if your truck sits on the 2020/2021 line, ask us.
Putting it up and storing it
- Open the shade against the inside of the windshield.
- Line the top cutout up with the rearview mirror area.
- Smooth the edges against the glass so the shade sits flat.
- Before you drive, take it down and stow it. A windshield shade is for parked use only.
For step-by-step folding, see our guide to folding a windshield sunshade. Umbrella shades close like an umbrella instead of twist-folding.
Rounding out the cab
For 2015–2020 trucks we also list a side window sunshade pair, which is currently out of stock. For overnight outdoor parking, see the car covers on our Ford F-150 collection; car covers are where cab and bed length matter, so read the fitment on each listing.
FAQ
Will a 2015–2020 shade fit my 2021 F-150?
No. The 2021 truck is a new generation with its own windshield pattern. Pick one of the 2021–2026 shades.
Is the umbrella shade the same as the foldable?
No. It's a separate product that opens like an umbrella and is made with ice-crystal fabric. It suits trucks that park many times a day; the foldable suits long single parks.
Do you make a shade for a 2014 or older F-150?
Not right now. Our F-150 windshield shades cover 2015–2020 and 2021–2026.
Can I leave the shade up while driving?
No. Use it only while parked.
What if it doesn't fit?
Shipping is free to all 50 U.S. states, and you have 30 days after delivery to request a return. Every return comes with a free prepaid label and no restocking fee, and test-fitting doesn't affect eligibility. If the fit isn't right, we'll exchange it for the correct one free of charge.
