I like some of the camera features on my F350 but they could be more useful. I did not get the trailer mounted camera as it only works in reverse. I used to have a motorhome and was able to monitor traffic behind me. I wish the Ford worked that way. What is useful is the camera mounted on the cab stoplight. With its centering line I can hit my hitch just right every time. Without it I couldn't see it.
I did look at the new GM HD camera system on their website and it appears it will be much more useful. From what I could see you can use it as a full time rear monitor.
If you want to turn the Ford backup camera on while driving forward down the highway simply put the gearshift lever in reverse.
Man, I can't understand why I didn't come up with that solution. I'll give it a try next time we are out and let you know how it works out.
