I bought a truck off the lot. Got lucky with the right mix of options. My truck did come with this, but I probably wouldn't have ordered it. Not really a fan of some camera wire running down the back of my travel trailer. Dealer had to hunt it down, said they had to order it. When I went to pick it up, shipping label showed it had been delivered to Parts a month before they got the truck. Dealer was willing to install, but I told them I would let them know later--just took the box with me. I think I'm probably just going to sell it and get some $$ back.
interestingly enough, I had to ask for this, no one knew anything about it. Tried to tell me that the $725 was just some pe-wiring. The shipping label had the VIN on it.

If you are interested in selling it PM me. I have the one kit I ordered with my truck and have it already for my 5th wheel TH but would like another one to use on one of my other trailers.

It's not a time thing but rather a post count thing. A few more posts and you can PM. Maybe 10 total? I can't remember. Also, even though you can't PM yet, you do have the option to send an email through FTE. Just go to Jace's profile and click contact member. The PM option won't be available but the email should.

I ordered this package because I wanted the 5 cameras. I assumed the sensors and trailer camera were extra. What happens if you don't use the tpms & trailer camera?
I wanted both rear cameras but when I priced truck online with the high mount camera the Ford website wanted to remove the tailgate camera. I ordered this option to get all cameras. I thought the front camera would be good for tight parking lots and my garage.

If you order the CHMSL camera option it also includes the rear tail gate camera.
The order configurator makes it look like it is removing it, but you will have both. Not sure why Ford did it that way. On the dealer end, when ordering the units it makes it appear as if ordering the Rear CHMSL removes the rear tail gate camera.

Good to hear Rodney. The SD is so tall it will certainly be helpful especially in tight spaces. It will come in handy parking in my garage. I'm going to need a shoehorn to get it in.

Even on a mid size SUV like the wife's X5, I find it very helpful when pulling into a parking spot etc. It's really a great feature. BMW has had it for a while and the Ford system looks to be identical so I'm sure I'll love it. They've also had adaptive steering for quite a while so the tow tech bundle will get you two fancy dancy euro type options!

Rodney I know you mentioned the tow tech bundle before. Unfortunately it's not available as an option here in Canada, at least not on a Lariat. I had to order the adaptive steering and ultimate trailer tow camera system as two separate options.

Bob, there are two separate packages that I think you are confusing. First is the tow tech package which gives you all the truck cameras. This sounds like what you ordered. Then there is the trailer mounted camera and TPMS which is being discussed in this thread. It includes a camera to mount on the rear of your RV and a set of 4 bolt in TPMS sensors for your trailer wheels.

That's what my order has on it and was told it includes the tire sensors and the rear camera for my fifth wheel.
