    1. Windshield sun shade for my 2015 Tundra.
    I’ve gotten two from Amazon, and both fit too small. I’d like one that fits just right and does a good job on blocking the heat. Easy to store away would also be great.

    2. Cargo net
    I need one that can stretch pretty good, so I can haul a lot of luggage with, without feeling like it’s going rip apart. Got a big event at church and I’m one of the few with a pickup so.. :)

    thanks in advance

    Covercraft make the best shades IMO. Not the cheapest though.

    You wanting to put a bunch of luggage in the bed and secure it with a net? Get the right size, otherwise they all seem to be about the same quality. They will wear out in a few years. Good thing they are cheap.

    I had a covercraft and it was expensive, high quality and fully covered the windshield and I hated it. It was huge and hard to store out of the way, it was also annoying and difficult to deploy. I ended up selling it and getting a cheap one on Amazon that deploys in seconds and I can fold it and stuff between pr under a seat in seconds as well.

    I got one of the silver reflective accordion style from my local O'Reilly's and it's a pretty good fit, maybe a 1" gap at most in the top corner. Just measure your windshield and check against the dimensions of the shade. (I think it's the "Jumbo" size)

    https://www.amazon.com/BDK-Car-Wind...lective+windshield+shade,aps,129&sr=8-16&th=1

    Not as easy to stow as the little round ones that coil up but way better at blocking heat. The one I've got almost feels like it has bubble wrap, or some sort of air gap between the two silver skins.

    I think it was only $15-$20

    Can't help with the cargo net, I've got a tonneau.

    Have never found one to be too big or hard to deploy or put away. The bigggest negative about the "easy" thin ones is that they do not insulate nearly as well. YMMV

    This is true as far as insulation but being that I have ceramic uv blocker on the windshield, it's not as much an issue.
