Surround View Camera Option

[John Jensen]

Yep, I made the mistake of not asking. I assumed based on it not showing as an option that it was included. Then, for fun, built a limited to see the price difference and saw it as an option. Started digging and noticed it wasn't available (via the website). A little bummed, but I'll live without. As I Love Grits mentioned, I really just wanted the front camera. Would have been a nice to have, but I will somehow survive without it.

Joe,
There are kits to add a front camera. You can connect it to the rear cargo pins so it appears on the radio like factory. Did it on my 2016 Eco, it did not have a rear cargo camera

Have you had the surround view before? I had it on a 1500 and didn’t read the fine print enough when ordering the 2500 (thought it was included in the loaded longhorn packages) so I don’t have it now.

I never felt confident using the surround view cameras alone due to the fish eye distortion and would almost always check side mirrors.

Obviously if you’ve had it before and know you like it then disregard what I’m saying. But as someone who’s had both, you’re not missing out on much IMO.

The only camera I miss having is the front but that’s just because I haven’t spent enough time behind the wheel yet to know how far the truck sticks out in front.

Just like blind spot monitoring and cross path protection. BSM I could care less about been driving 45 years without it, but I do like cross path protection. Which I don’t have and couldn’t order on my 22 3500 DRW
