My friend just got a new 3500 Chevy LTZ. I noticed in his truck when he puts on his turn signal his camera comes on and shows the side of the truck thats flashing. I thought that was a pretty cool feature. I could see everything, including the blind spot. Any Fords do this?

Mine does but it's only because I added naviks camera control module. I use it so that my rear cam is on when driving as my rear view mirror is blocked by my camper.

Not from the factory AFAIK, but there is a company that sells the electronic box that will allow that feature.

Mine does it when a trailer is attached but not at any other time that I’ve seen.

With mirrors adjusted properly, I don't have a blind spot.

My f350 has the side camera that turns on with the blinker when the trailers hooked up.

I should have added that it only does it when he is towing. I have a 2024 F-350 XLT Premium and I haven’t seen my camera do this. Is there something in the settings that needs turned on?

Have you towed with your’s yet? It’s a default setting when the lights and brakes are connected on the trailer.

There are aftermarket devices that you can add. I installed a Nav TV module that opens up that functionality and a few other things on my 2020.

As shown in the signature my truck is an XLT Premium. I’ve had several of these trucks but this is the first with 360 cameras. Surprised the heck out of me the first time I flipped on the turn signal with a trailer hooked up and that image popped up on the 12 inch screen.
I’m on vacation currently and don’t have access to my window sticker. Does your truck not have 360 degree cameras? Maybe that’s the key here.
I’ve made no menu or FORScan changes in regards to the camera system on this truck. It’s how it came from the factory to the best of my knowledge.

Mine does it as well when towing, but it wasn't a default for me. I had to turn it on in the Sync 4. It's a toggle you can turn on or off.

Yes, I have the 360 camera. I have towed my boat quite a few times and have never had the camera turn on when using my turn signals.

Interesting. I'll have to look at my '22 450 Platinum and see if I can find that feature. Mine definitely doesn't do it now and I've towed plenty of times.

'23 F-350 Lariat. It's always done it for me with a trailer hooked up. Pretty sure it's the cameras in the bottom of the side mirrors. Yours have those?
