I am looking for in-channel window vents. I want smoke. I got a set of EGR but they look brown against my Carbonized Gray truck. Are there any that actually look black or dark grey? Really hard to tell from photos on web pages.

I've had mine since truck was new at the end of '20.
Very happy with them!

I would have some in-channel but was told not with window tint film. Do not like the surface mount.

The tint is on the inside of the window, in-channel is on the outside. I have some matte black ones but they create a giant blind spot with the width of the pillar too. I want something I can see through, to some degree at least.

You are correct but they do make the window fit tighter in the channel and
could cause damage to thr film.

There are no marks or damages to the film on my windows.
The fit is tight, but not so tight as to cause an issue with my film.

That sounds like they dont make any that will fit, as opposed to being out of stock if those that do fit.
What happens if you try for model year 2021?

Does anyone here know if there's something different in the windows sizes from '21 to '22?

AFAIK '19-'23 there were no changes and they should all be the same.

Edit: There's none from WT for the Ranger (WT & Amazon) so maybe they discontinued them?

Whose deflectors do you have? Maybe some are thinner than others.
