Got another question for you all. The 2011 and 14 trucks the backup camera stayed on till you gut op to 3MPH in Drive, stayed on in Neutral, and would go out if you shift into park. New truck Don't do it unless you leave it in Reverse. Is that the way it will be in 2015 trucks?

My 2015's backup camera goes on/off only with reverse gear selection.. I would think it to be pretty odd if it stayed on while in a forward gear..

my 2013 goes off when I shift it out of reverse.


Reverse is the only time it works.

2011-2015 There is a setting in the "settings" menu in the instrument panel display. The camera can be set to stay on until the truck is moving forward some ?? speed. If I am remembering correctly......."Delay" is the choice.

EDIT: I find it nice when I am maneuvering back and forward into a parking space.

Roy you hit it on the head. I use that when I hook up my trailers. I will put it in Neutrel and apply the Park Brake While I watch the guys hook up the trailers.

Randy it does shut off as soon as you reach the set speed in Fwd Drive. It has it's uses. You might like it.

Tire pressures

I run 65 on the front, and 50 on the rear. Google a "Load Inflation Chart" and take a trip through the CAT scales and you should wind up with a set of pressures that will work for your truck. I'd upload a chart if I had one on this tablet, but I've printed out a few from Goodyear and Toyo. Another method, if you're as weird as I am about this sort of thing, is to draw a thick line of chalk across the tread from sidewall to sidewall, then drive in a straight line for a few tire rotations. If your pressure is correct for your load, then the chalk will be worn evenly across the tread. If you use the chart method, just remember that tires run in a dual setup are derated by 10 percent of their rated load due to heat buildup, and there is a separate column on the chart for the same size tire used as a dual.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try that.

on the screen hit the settings (gear icon that you see)




Then select vehicle and the camera settings is listed then




select the delay setting as I have done here


So I went out to change my camera settings. I discovered that since I have the mytouch you have to do it there.

My fold flat floor made from .125" thick sheet aluminum covered in carpet from Lowes. I don't have a front swing down leg for support. Usually there is something on the floor that will support it. Most times the truck carries just me and the dog. Still have the bags of stuff from the old truck on the floor.

Phone don't like FTE Website

You know there are probably some of the previous models in the junkyard now. You could get the fold out floor from them.

Yes, Sailor is correct, its the delay feature. Shuts off when put in park or if you drive forward and hit an unknown speed.

What there should be is a button to turn on at any speed and it could stay on for a while and then shut down or shut down upon Park.

Would love have the ability to see what is behind me (I do, but I added a rear facing camera).

Intersting in that I read that rear view cameras are going to be mandated by the Feds IIRC beginning with the '16 models across the board...
