Default Dash Cam

My 2017 Limited has the front mounted camera under the rear view mirror. Is there a dash cam out there that will work on my truck. What I see are too big for my liking.
thanks

I just installed a Blackvue DR900S 2ch system and the powermagic pro in my 2017 King Ranch. My wife has the same system in her car. Video quality is great and the Blackvue app is simple to navigate.

This is a good one. I have three of them. Very good video.

I have the same dash cam and absolutely love it. I opted for the Power Magic EZ that plugs directly into your OBD port for power. Either way works though.

I have Garmin Dash Cams in both my truck and in my Mustang. While they aren't the most feature rich products, they do the job that I want them to do.

Personally I really wish Ford had installed a USB port in the overhead console. I'll likely add one when time permits.

I put a Thinkware f800 pro 2 ch in my 2016 Lariat. I was surprised how small the unit was and mounted it beside the big plastic center piece almost all up in the dot matrix stuff.

Yeah, Blackvue products are always great. I installed the Blackvue DR750S-2CH on my truck with the help of a technician. It was an easy install. I'll advice OP to also look into Thinkware F800 Pro. Check the review before buying.

I have a Thinkware F200 (front and rear cameras, wifi, gps) that I found for a steal at $200. The main camera and GPS are tucked up behind the rear view mirror...don't even know they are there. Have it hardwired in so I have full video if something happens when it's parked, too.

Was wondering how well the rear camera performs through the tinted back window?
