So just curious as to what you use the 360 camera for? The back comes standard in a lot of packages. The front might be useful parking close to something? But what about the side cameras what do you guys use these for. Perhaps curbs? I couldn't see a reason to buy this package what am I missing here? Oh maybe rocks in a 4x4 situation, but I ordered a 2wd.

 

Rocks for many guys, curbs for me as I'm lowered and didn't want to scrub a rim

 

I've run some tight woods trails in my truck, and I never thought to use it. The speed limitation is a problem for that purpose.

I'm digging it for parking. Mostly when I pull into the garage at my house, where I have less than two feet of room total between front & back with the door closed. It's one of those things I never needed when I didn't have it, didn't think I'd need it when I got it, but I've grown to like it and will probably not want to do without it ever again.

 

Parking, love it. It's like looking at a satellite view of the truck. Tough part is keeping the lenses clean.

 

Coming from a sedan to a SuperCrew, I use it to get straight in parking spaces

 

parking.. in a tight lot and in my garage...

I actually had to get my driver's side camera calibrated.... it was about 10 degrees off.. The dealer had to order these 30 foot long mats in order to calibrate the camera... they weren't happy about having to shell out that money.

 

Backing up my driveway making sure I miss the fence by the required 10" so as not to knock off the passenger side mirror..

 

That's why I did not go for a Ram 1500 Longhorn because of the 360 camera. Front cam is used when I park in my garage with 1" clearance front & back(without removing the trailer hitch ball).
The side, front and rear cams help you check if you're in the dead center in your parking space or not, no need to open your door just to look at the line.

Overall, 360 camera is an added safety feature that keeps you aware in your surroundings if you want to. Not a must have option but it's very good to have it for a full size vehicle.

 

Just out of curiosity (and frustration), is your 360 view clear, bright and good definition? My 2016 is very poor on all three - unlike my back up cameras on 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 Fords I've owned - not all F150's.

 

I'd love to have the ability to plug in a memory stick somewhere to record everything on all these cameras - like a dash cam type capability.

If your camera views are not clear, have you tried cleaning the lenses?
