Much cheaper on other dealer sites. It might be worth it if the rear camera was for recording traffic behind you rather than just for recording your vehicles’ interior activity.

I am interested in the Owl cam myself... Have never had a dash cam, but it seems times are changing and it might be a decent idea.

Your money would be better spent on a $230 Viofo A129 Duo camera that has front and rear cameras with much newer sensors and optics.

Any idea if this would be compatible with a 17’ lariat? A quick search told me it’s originally for the 18’+,
