[VIDEO] How Ford's 2017 Super Duty Pickups Eliminate Blind Spots

Ford video (1:37 min.), not narrated, demonstrates the many views you can see around a 2017 Ford Super Duty pickup truck equipped with all seven possible cameras

Sep 24, 2015

As many as seven cameras help drivers see more angles and monitor conditions surrounding the truck, and provide better trailering than ever before.

A center high-mounted, stop-lamp camera provides visibility into the cargo box, for easier hook-up of gooseneck/fifth-wheel trailers.

A 360-degree camera system uses four digital, high-definition cameras to give the driver a bird’s-eye view surrounding the truck.

Trailer reverse guidance provides visual cues and tips to help ease backing up a trailer.

A first-ever, factory-available trailer camera can be attached to a trailer to improve visibility backing up.
