My new 2010 Ford F150 came with the OEM BACK UP camera...
This one is mounted in lowed part of the FORD EMBLEM on the rear tail gate...
The round black object shown here at the bottom of the Ford Emblem
The camera screen is the FORD information panel and shows a nice large view. The View also has one foot markers on it and sounds a increasing BEEP the closer it gets to the rear of the truck and finally goes to a solid TONE when closer than the ONE FOOT marker. The rear view also has a built-in center line. I can see my trailer mounted ball in the view and can watch it disappear under the trailer hitch on the first try. It is one time back-up for me everytime. Could not be any easier... This camera only comes on when you go to REVERSE.
The camera lens also has night vision and is very sensitive to external lights. Your RED STOPS lights really show what is behind you at night. The only drawback is at night when backing up the camera will flare up big time when a bright light hits the lens...
I probably would have never got a rear view camera but I use this one all the time. Probably at the point I can't do anything without one now haha...
