Uh, yes. Re-watch the video, the full video. Definitely put some metal bits into the transmission pan.

The Chevy solution is nice, especially the ones that have a bed camera that you can enable while driving. I get the safety/liability reasons as to why Ford does not allow this, but it sure is a nice feature if you have ever driven a vehicle with it. I always find it interesting as to what features certain manufacturers have/allow vs. what they don't. If GM has figured out how to allow this feature with their liability lawyers signing off one would think that Ford could do the same.

It would be nice to easily see if straps have come loose or if loads have shifted etc. but I mostly blame this on the trucks being too tall. My jetski and unloaded 5x8 are completely invisible behind my truck. A quick 10 second “trailer view” mode would be great IMO. No different than looking in the rear view at a taller trailer.

I test drove a few Silverado’s before my F150 and I didn’t like that feature. It really messed with my perception from the driver’s seat. (Because the view doesn’t move if you tilt your head etc) Neat tech tho, especially if it had a camera on the back of a trailer. (Invisible trailer) or whatever they call it...
