Which Pickup Trucks Have Panoramic Moonroofs?

What Shoppers Should Know

• A panoramic moonroof is available for every light-duty full-size pickup truck.
• The Ford F-Series Super Duty is the only gas-powered heavy-duty truck to offer a panoramic moonroof.
• The Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck electric pickups are also available with panoramic moonroofs.

Pickup trucks are the vehicular equivalent of Texas: Everything is bigger in them. The engines, the towing capacities and payload ratings, even the moonroofs. Tuesday, Chevrolet announced the all-new 2027 Silverado 1500 will feature a High Country trim with an available panoramic moonroof that is the nameplate’s first; that plus the GMC Sierra 1500’s newly available panoramic moonroof will be parent company GM’s first full-size pickups with the feature available. They’ll also be the last full-size trucks to offer them.

If you’re looking for a pickup that is as luxurious as it is hard-working, look for one with a Texas-size glass roof. See the full list of current trucks with the feature below.

What Is a Panoramic Moonroof?

First, let’s clear up the difference between a sunroof and a moonroof. Technically, a sunroof is a painted metal panel in a vehicle’s roof that can be opened, but true sunroofs are obsolete in 2026 — virtually all have been replaced by moonroofs, which are made of glass. Today, the terms are used interchangeably, but Cars.com sticks with “moonroof” for consistency.

A panoramic moonroof, then, is a really big moonroof that covers the front and rear seats in a vehicle. But not all panoramic moonroofs are the same. Some, such as those in the Ford F-150 and Super Duty, are split into two panes. In many of these, the front panel can slide open or at least tilt for ventilation. Other panoramic moonroofs, like the ones in the Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck, are a single massive pane of glass that is fixed in place and cannot open or tilt.

Moonroof Pros and Cons

As a luxury feature, moonroofs often are only included on pricier trim levels of a vehicle and bundled with a bunch of other equipment that may or may not seem worth it to you. But there’s more to consider than just the expense of adding a moonroof to your new truck.

Pros

• An airier cab: This is why you want a moonroof. That big skylight overhead lets a lot more light into the cab, making it feel more open and airy.

• Improved airflow: Even if you don’t want the chaotic swirl of wind in the cab that can result from a fully open moonroof, tilting it open can improve cabin ventilation and provide more fresh air.

Cons

• Complicates temperature management: Glass is not known for its insulating properties, and a panoramic moonroof can heat up the cab in sunlight and leech precious heat when it’s cold out. Some, but not all, trucks have power-retractable shades to minimize this effect. Rivian’s electrochromic Dynamic Glass Roof doesn’t have a shade, but it can dim at the touch of a button, while Tesla simply charges buyers extra for a fabric shade.

• Less headroom: You might think a hole in the roof would mean more headroom, but you’d be wrong. The structure that surrounds the glass pane in a vehicle’s roof actually reduces headroom, sometimes by more than an inch.
