Why fit sunvisors on a Hilux, LandCruiser or Patrol?
An external sunvisor sits above the windscreen and catches the sun before it reaches the glass. That means less glare on long drives, a cooler cabin and less squinting when the sun is low. It’s also part of the classic 4WD look, which is why you still see them on LandCruiser utes and Patrols all over the outback.
They’ve been a favourite on work and touring vehicles for decades. One 4WD magazine test of a mesh visor on a Hilux, published by 4X4 Australia, found the sunlight reaching the driver and passenger came through dappled and diffused.

Solid or mesh: which is the best sunvisor for your 4WD?
Many models come in both styles, so it helps to know the difference. Neither is “better” across the board; it depends on how you drive and what you like.
| Style | What you get | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Solid | Strongest shade and glare cut, a bold classic look | Drivers chasing maximum shade and a rugged, traditional look |
| Mesh | Filtered, diffused light, lighter appearance | Drivers who want shade while keeping a lighter feel up top |
How to choose the best sunvisors for your Hilux, LandCruiser or Patrol
The right fit comes down to a few details. Have these ready before you order and you’ll avoid delays.
- Model and generation. N70 and N80 Hiluxes, or GQ and GU Patrols, are different windscreens.
