360 Degree Camera Option

I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on a 2017 or 2018 F-250. As I was shopping around I noticed that a few trucks have the 360 degree camera option. The options seems cool but I'm not sure if it is worth the extra cost. This will also be my first truck and I was thinking that it may be helpful driving into tight spots. I'd like to hear some feedback from some of those that do have it.

For those that do have it, do you like it? Is it worth the extra money?

Thanks in advance

It's a great option. Glad I got it on mine, but the camera image quality could be better.

Thanks for all the replies! I guess you guys have convinced me to spend the extra cash. I can't wait to get it home.

Definitely a worthy option. Like others have said the picture quality could be better. With the way technology is today its a little frustrating the picture isn't better.

Just FYI if anyone does not know you can change view to full screen backing up and it is much better quality.

Noticed this on mine and gave all the lenses a whipe with a micro fiber towel and it's way better now.

It is helpful driving into tight spots. The camera quality is good on my truck.

I agree, get it. I/We build barrier in the middle of the freeway and I have to turn around in the narrow inside widening area, it's nice to see everything in front and back. Also, you can line your truck when parking and know your straight when you get out. Anybody notice that black strip at the front bumper in the 360 view is like 3-4 inches clearance outside.

Get it. The 360 camera makes my f-350 easier to park than my old F-150.

Biggest downfall to camera is the lockout while driving. The Ram I had I used to look at cargo while driving and this one does not let you.
