Mirror Reverse Tilt?

[jh225]

Do the side view mirrors not have a tilt feature when you put the transmission into reverse? Pretty damn frustrating trying to see the parking spot lines without a tilt.

Can’t put a spot mirror in the upper left corner as it will kill the lane alert.

My Raptor is fully loaded if that makes a difference.

The Gen14 F150 platform does not have reverse-mirror-tilt. Ridiculous, I know.

You can enable it with coding on Forscan but it’s far from perfect (goes max down and motor keeps turning).

While I like the idea of a reverse-mirror-tilt feature it seems unnecessary with the 360 camera option where the rear view and bird's eye view images pop up on screen when you put the truck in reverse. I also use the front view and bird's eye view to help when pulling into a parking space but it seems that it will only go right into this view at very slow forward speed. If I hit the camera button when pulling in and I'm not going slow enough I get the bed cam view.

If I had a reverse-mirror-tilt feature I'd want it to be selectable on or off as I would not want my mirrors to tilt down when backing a trailer. Ideally I'd want the truck to automatically turn it off if I have a trailer selected as connected or it senses a trailer is connected.

I hated that function on my Porsche, the mirror never went back to correct spot. I kept it disabled. But generally I’m anti tech gizmos… I’m a geezer.

Can you share what code you changed in Forscan to get this to work?

I agree it’s a bit annoying to have it tilt every time you use reverse. I use memory setting 3 and save with mirrors tilted down. Then you can use it when you want.

I just use the 360 top view seems to work good enough

I would like to know as well.

I drove a Tundra a while back that has the feature. It was definitely useful. I wish the Raptor’s mirrors were just a little taller so I could see the tire contact and the lane behind me. First world problems. What am I complaining about? My first car was a 1981 Plymouth Champ and it didn’t even have a passenger side mirror!
