Camera systems

I had an F 350 Platinum Ultimate that had an ETA of 8/22, which of course has not arrived yet. The dealer was told today that it has been sent back to production , with no explanation. Also today another dealer in the Atlanta area said they had just spoke with the Ford rep and she said no trucks with the ultimate camera package have been delivered.
Does anyone know if that's true ?
Was curious if any of the Lariats that are showing up have the camera package on them.
Thanks.

You have 6 cameras technically, the 7th would be on the rear of a trailer. 🙃

I was counting the one behind the rearview mirror. Its used for lane departure though

Thats the seventh one. There is two on the tailgate, one in center brake light up high, one in each side mirror, one behind rearview mirror, and one in the front grill. Dont think you can view the camera in the rearview mirror though.

One is in the center of the tail gate the other is to the right. Think it has more to do with the trailer backing system.

I think the one on the right is a sensor and not a camera.

Has anyone actually received a truck with the extra camera to mount on the rear of the trailer? Still trying to find out the cable length. Through the Build site chat, I finally got an email from the Brand Manager saying there was an accessory 54' cable available, but no explanation as to what length comes with it, if the 54' cable can be added to the base cable, or how much additional the "accessory cable" would run. I spoke with my dealer a week ago, but I still haven't heard back. Another place where I can't believe Ford expects people to purchase something that no one can give details on.
