I test drove a SRW model. The cameras are awesome. The rearview mirror fucntion seems totally real and natural... But no blind spots whatsoever. I toggled back an forth between camera and mirror views, and the camera view is hands down the best... To me, looking at the dash screen even though it is larger, is not natural. probably because 44 years of driving habits have me looking automatically at the rear view mirror.
The camera view in the rear view mirror is very hi res and you can see more than one might expect and certainly more than the mirror itself shows. It is also a regular mirror. My initial issue with it is I can't focus very well at close distance, so it would be more useful for the 30 yr old me. The GM 360 camera system is superior to the current Ford or Ram system in both resolution and programming/function. - ExxWhyExplorerThe camera view in the rear view mirror is very hi res and you can see more than one might expect and certainly more than the mirror itself shows.

A 8~10 speed tranny would really help the gasser along with a better interior. I’ve been waiting on the upgrade from the 6.0, but when you complain the new Chevy HDs to theRam and Ford it just is missing too much.
My current Chevy has been great, and makes me want to stick with them, but I’m not sure that I will.
They all three have their differences. Ram has air ride suspension and the big screen. Ford is similar to Chevy in the screen but has massaging seats and panaramic roof. GM has the heads up display and camera for a rear view mirror. All depends what's important to you.
Camera is in the rear view mirror?
That would suck.
Way too tiny to see anything. - snarkeeExplorerNot the invisible trailer camera. I find the 360 camera with the side views while towing very useful. I wish gm didnt force high end packages in order to obtain that.
- BigToeExplorerFord does not have the invisible trailer system.
To my understanding, Ford reverse cameras don't even work when going forward... people report having to muck with the wiring of their trucks, adding aftermarket gizmos from NavTV and overriding the Ford OEM programming with aftermarket software from Forscan, just to be able to use the Ford cameras they already paid for, and still have to live with the worst quality camera resolution available from an OE manufacturer. - HuntindogExplorer

Ford and ram have the 360 camera view on their lower trim levels.
Are you saying that Ford has the invisable trailer function? I wasn't aware of that. - snarkeeExplorerGm sucks with the camera packages.. the 360 package is only available in high end trim levels after certain packages are chosen...

he invisable trailer system will make towing soo much easier. I am somewhat suprised that this being a "tow vehicle" forum, there has been little to no discussion on this.
Instead we get massaging seats, Sunroofs, nice interiors, 8-10 speed trannys (OK this makes a little sense) etc.
IOW what is being discussed for the most part is what one would expect on a luxury sedan forum. - 2001400exExplorer
