I found a camera on ebay that is mean to be mounted on the tailgate handle. Came with a hole saw too. Decided against it for some reason.

I bought an aftermarket camera from Camera Source. It's supposed to be higher resolution than the factory camera. Works great.

I just read that rear obstruction sensing tech(reverse camera) will be required on all MY2018 vehicles.

Big brother is getting bigger.

Read the same thing last week. Read the main reason is to prevent back overs of people/ kids. Which ain't a bad thing but these laws are starting to get a little crazy imo

Lots of lives could be saved if we stopped driving automobiles altogether......

Does anyone know how big of a camera hole it is on the OEM handle?

since you say you don't have a camera lookup fordlogo backup camera on Amazon and that's own and won't look crappy you won't even know it's there. The only difference is the logo stick out an inch or less...
