Default 360 degree camera and 2.7tt

Is the 360 degree camera not available with the 2.7tt engine? I tried all sorts of build combos on the Ford website and it looks like the 360 camera is only available with the top of the line Platinum starting at $50k with 3.5 v6 or 5.0 v8 engines only. My ideal truck would be an XLT (starting at $30k) or Lariat (starting at $38k), SuperCrew, 5 1/2 ft. box, 4x2, 2.7tt, & 360 camera.

only available with the 3.5EB or 5.0 apparently. Still haven't seen a good explanation as to why... someone suggested the extra weight of the option would be too much for the 2.7 and would make it run on boost constantly, causing MPG complaints but that seems silly to me. it can't weigh more than just having 1 passenger in the truck

Those 180 degree cameras must weigh several hundred pounds.
The 2.7 Eco I drove had plenty of Boost.

You can get a 360 cam with the Lariat Luxury Package.

The highest trim for a 2.7L is a mid level Lariat; therefore, there is no 360 cam with the 2.7L.

Same thing applies to the led headlights and power deploy boards.

In converse, you can't get the 40/20/40 front seats either if you get led headlights, 360 camera, or power deploy boards.

360 camera is a worthless feature aside from the times you want to hug the curb in parking lots to avoid door dings.

I wouldnt call this a safety feature but a Luxury, we have driven cars/trucks for decade without these and have been fine its called being spoiled.

I think the 360 view is a cool feature but agree it's a luxury. I want one just for the cool factor =)

Spoiled? Tell that to the countless people that have adaptive cruise control and for split second looked down or elsewhere ( we all have done it ) and there adaptive cruise took over and avoided a rear end collision.Bottom line, it is a safety feature.
