    What's the best retractable cargo cover for a 21 TRD Off-Road?

    I've got dark tint, so very hard to see anything inside.
    Was thinking about buying, but am reevaluating spending the money on something else.

    Pinstripes, lots of em. Plus a couple dents.
    I use am $8 Harbor Freight wool blanket as a cargo cover. It doubles as a seat cover when I'm wet or muddy.

    I am a veteran and worked a homeless veteran event with my wife. We were allowed to pick one item each=we got G.I. extreme cold sleeping bags (the 5 piece set.) Late in the day, they told us to take 2 more of what we wanted=we got 2 Army surplus wool blankets that are in the back of the 4Runner=for the dog and to cover the stuff in the back=I also have darkened windows.

    I do the same except it is a picnic throw from work, rolls up nice when not in use covers things well.

    Crap. I have a barely used OEM cover gathering dust, but i’m in the bay area, so shipping would be ridiculous.

    I've used the OEM retractable cargo cover in three different 4Rs. I like them. I have extra dark tint on my windows as well. Even been to Mexico numerous times.
    If I were a thief and saw even the hint of a blanket I'd think "oh, this is the vehicle to break into". Perhaps I just have a criminal mind...

    When my wife goes shopping she likes to cover up her goods. Only time mine ever gets used.
    I see them on ebay and Amazon all the time. some for under $100.
    Careful about cheap asian knockoffs
    I would go Toyota OEM....

    Another recommendation for the OEM cargo cover. Only nitpick is gap in the front (to allow the rear seats to recline).

    I keep passenger seats reclined. Agreed. Toyota should have addressed the gap. Wife's old 2004 4R had a section that covered the small gap.

    For a long time I’ve been using a 5x7 ft dark green plastic tarp, like those from Harbor Freight, to cover up gear in the back when traveling. But I recently got the 8 piece Weathertech window cover set (8 pieces) and when parked for long periods of time I’ll pop in the shades in the hatch and the rear door windows. (I’ve been leaving the two rear windows covered all the time). This blocks all visibility into the back and it’s good for privacy for darkening when sleeping in back.

    Assuming we all have an American Flag (or something similar) blacking out the rear window (?).

    Good morning. New to the forum...looking for a clean, light oak cargo cover for my 2001 Ltd and came across your comment from last year. I'm in NH - if it isn't gone already and happens to be a match, is your cover something you'd like to clear out of the corner in the basement?
