Here’s the base model radio available to anyone, not just fleets...

That I could live with, those ridiculous 7"+ screens are purely ridiculous...l don't want or need a damn tablet in the dash of my car so that small one in the base model would be just fine for me. A backup camera would be great for hooking up a trailer, but the windows and mirrors tell you a much better picture than a backup camera for backing up in parking lots and such. I guess people are just too lazy to simply look around them before moving their vehicle...wait that requires them to put down their damn cell phone...so they still run over people and objects even with all the cameras, and safety sensors because they just plain don't pay attention to anything around them except their phone maybe the backup camera should be on their phone instead, maybe they'd actually see it then.

Hell yeah... I stopped and looked at one last year. It was a Centurion conversion.

Been driving for 45 years (not quite as long as @Grumpaw) and have used mirrors for backing all of it. Still do, but I also have one of them big old screens in my dash with a backup camera. I've got one in every vehicle I own except the '94 F-150. Added them to the ones that didn't have them from the factory. I use both now, but usually back up looking over my shoulder unless I've got a trailer connected. Anyone that says you can see everything behind you with mirrors is misguided. It's physics man. It's nice to look at the screen to make sure there isn't anything you may have overlooked behind you prior to backing up. It's also nice to have when backing into a parking space and being able to tell how close you are to the vehicle/wall/etc. that may be behind you. I wish I had a front camera on my F-250, I just can't seem to get the distance to the vehicle in front of me right when pulling in to a space unless it's a lifted truck too. Luckily, I've always erred to the safe side so far.

I’ve got a class A CDL, it’s not easy to get one if you can’t use your mirrors. I also train the new guys at work how to alley dock, offset back, and parallel park for the CDL test. (Anyone here parallel park a tractor trailer? It’s even more fun trying to teach someone else how to do it.)
With that said, I like the rear view camera in my truck. Before I back up, I check the mirrors, I check the screen, then I watch behind me and back up. The screen is just another tool... it doesn’t replace anything, it just adds another safety factor. I can see if there’s anything right behind my truck hidden in my mirrors blind spots.

My point exactly. You just stated it better than I.

 

[sgtsandman]

I use the backup camera as another tool, especially since the high bed creates such a blind spot but mirrors and the rear window, if not blocked are still my prime tools while backing up.

In the 7 years or so ive been driving truck ive only had to parallel park it one time. That was at the vermillion rest area on rt 2 in ohio a lil ways west of cleveland. It was 2 am, and there was one spot open between 2 other trucks...and what i needed that rest area for...well...a bottle wasnt gonna suffice and it wasnt somethin ida left in the parking lot.

You have no sense of imagination.

I think as of today... it's still a rumor that it will be in the Bronco.

But if I was the betting type... I would put money that it will end up in the new Bronco.
