2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Expands Off-Road Prowess with New Torsen Front Differential and Off-Road Front Camera | Ford Motor Company Newsroom
Here the front camera and its limitations are covered well.
"Looking ahead
A new class-exclusive and patent-pending off-road front camera system also makes its debut on F-150 SVT Raptor, giving customers a new and unique view of what’s happening in front of their truck. Activated through the 4.2-inch LCD productivity screen, the system uses the 8-inch navigation display and helps drivers see what’s directly in front of the vehicle, even when their view from the driver’s seat might be blocked.
“It’s a surprise and delight feature that works during low-speed crawling, and it’s particularly useful for seeing in front of the vehicle when tackling large inclines,” said Jamal Hameedi, Ford SVT chief engineer. “We found the system particularly useful for avoiding large rocks or placing a tire on a rock. It can even take the place of the spotter at times, which is a great feature when the truck is in one foot of mud.”
The front camera can be ordered with the Navigation System and is designed to aid at speeds of less than 15 mph in challenging off-road environments. The display from the camera will appear on the navigation screen on the center stack and includes dynamic and static overlays to help drivers determine where their wheels will go.
The camera is mounted in the front grille and includes a dedicated washer function that is activated by pressing a lever on the left steering column stalk."

Would be nice if you could use the front camera for recording to the HD and/or to an external hard drive. Can you say "built in go-pro" I'd like that personally.
I'd like that personally.And have it connected to one of the upfitter switches so you could turn the camera on whenever you wanted....

I am sure you will be able to alter its use with the use of a NAV-TV or other similar product.
