: Finding Measurements before Designing Vehicle Stickers or Decals? I'm to design decals that include logos and company information when I've only available clue is the Car Models (2013 Toyota Tundra

There are three routes some typically use.

If you plan to use Photoshop one of the top vehicle templates over the years has been thebadwrap.com. Ive used these in past and it comes with a pretty close psd file and a file with measurements.

If you use Illustrator I would suggest getting provehicleoutlines.com. Their outlines and measurements are usually within inches.

Both solutions will cost you several hundred dollars so consider it an investment. I do believe provehicles sells individual but you'd have to try their site. If you do not want to spend several hundred you could look for 3D vehicle renderings since some modelers do base the work on actual dimensions. Just ask before you buy if it was measured.

Even though I do suggest all of this you still can't beat going to a car dealership with a tripod, camera and tape measure and taking a good picture and then measuring where it should go. We took actual pictures of the clients vehicle and measurements so they would get the general idea of what their branding would look like. I would take a picture perpendicular to the vehicle and make sure I get the area I need. Use the software to make a scale of the area pictured and place my design where it should go.
