Debating on the 360 Cam option

[adllewis42]

I have every option but the Sunroof and the 360 camera is probably at the top of the most useful ones on the truck.

360 Camera and BLIS w/ cross-traffic. Must have.

The 360 camera was near the top of my must have list. Trust me when I say you're gonna need it. We all know the raptors are 6 inches wider than a standard f150. This isnt really noticable when you're cruising on the streets of highways but go through a parking lot or drive through and you'll regret not getting the option. I use my camera on a daily bases to help me navigate parking or narrow alleys. If you plan on doing any off roading (dont know why you would get a raptor if you didnt) then it's a must have to navigate trails with. Definitely helps cut back on trail damage as it allows you to see directly in front of you. I cant say how much it would cost for repairs if you did damage it; however theres a youtube video with a raptor hitting a tree causing the frame to bend and kink but the cameras all still worked so I believe it's fairly reliable

I’ll echo everyone else’s sentiment and say get it. It’s very very handy to look at the screen and see the parking spot lines to make sure you’re centered.

It's a great feature to have when parking the beast !!

Really helps with those tight bastard drive thrus. Southern Ontario. Cold climate hasnt been an issue. Honestly for $375, you will regret it if you dont add.

Oh yes, and the birds eye view when youre reversing into a parking spot. Plus the "WOW, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE" comment from the passenger when you put it in reverse is always entertaining.

Question: Is the top down picture of the truck white in non-white trucks?

I have been driving lifted Fords pickups for a long time before they had 360 cameras, and I never had a need for it. I did not have it on my 2010 Gen 1 and I seldom use it on my Gen 2. If you are new to driving pickups or feel the Raptor is too wide, then by all means get it. Otherwise, skip it and save yourself a few bucks.

What is "cross-traffic?" I have an 802, haven't heard of it.

That’s the little microwave radar dealies in your taillights that beep when traffic is coming up while you’re backing out of a parking space.

Ahh. I just thought my back up sensors were on steroids.

Yeah, it would have been nice if they would have made the sound a little more distinctive from the backup system. I hear it so infrequently that I have a short wtf moment when it goes off.
