Anyone know if the stock vehicles have any kind of window tinting, regardless of how little.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere here that it's 35% from the factory. I believe just for the back as privacy windows, like most vehicles.
I believe industry standard is for some kind of tint on any air conditioned vehicle. Don’t even know if there are any mainstream vehicles without air.

It could actually be a UV coating, still with very little noticeable tint. But that's quite useful too. I've actually had my windshields polarized a couple times, and it is SO worth it ! Not only does it makes bright sunlight less harsh, but it also reduces glare a bunch, on wet dark nights.
BTW, its actually against the law in CA, but because it has zero tinting effect, a cop would never know you had anything on your windshield in the first place. Also, its pretty dumb that something that helps you see better, and makes you safer, is against the law. For that matter, even regular tinting of anything more than 30% (which is not dark at all) is illegal..... But I have ALL of my vehicles tinted dark, right from the start anyway. Never gotten a ticket for it. Our cops are already overwhelmed in Sacramento looking for murderers, kidnappers, and carjackers, to be messing with somebody for tinted windows.
I'm pretty sure the rears are tinted 35% as someone else mentioned. Don't know about the fronts but my 21 Ranger has 70% UV film on the front side windows. If it adds any "tint", I could not see it prior to having them aftermarket tinted.
