On my 2018, I only have the choice of a split screen (regular and overhead view), or if I click on the "+", I get only a very low angle view that is only useful for backing up to a trailer. Is there any way to get a full screen standard rear view that I had on my previous 3 Ford trucks? Thanks.

I would love to know how to accomplish this as well. I haven't been able to find a way in the menu system yet, but maybe someone knows something im not catching. Maybe in the forscan programming deal?

The camera functions are shown in the Parking Aids section of the owner's manual. I'm not sure if there's a way to make a certain view the default though.
Thank you, I did get it from there. After putting the truck in reverse, you need to push the camera button on the dash, not the one on the screen itself, to bring up the full rear view.

I would like the camera in the top brake light. It would keep clean, and you could check your load or trailer. But you would not see a kid behind truck

My 2017 F250 had one up there - it had 8 or 9 cameras, too bad I had so many problems with it, traded it for the Raptor.

This is the first thing I complained about. It really ****** me off that I have to keep pressing the button instead of being able to set the full rear view as default. With 2 images so small, I find that setting useless and need to press the button to change it. I hate that you have the truck in reverse before you can change the setting. One more distraction to think about.

From what I understand forscan allows you to hook up your computer to the truck using a USB adapter and make changes to sync and whatnot. For example you can program the side mirrors to automagically fold in when the truck is turned off and fold out when you start it up. Or have your amber lights always stay on as drl
