I'd say it depends how you use your truck. My truck is constantly in tight parking spots and that camera system is worth its weight in gold. For me, I would not have purchased this truck without the system. If your truck never leaves the ranch or you live in a small town and never plan to visit a large city...I'd say the backup camera is probably all you really need.

It came with my truck and I probably would not have ordered it myself. It turns out this is an option I use most often. As with others for parking assistance it is a wonder and I now wouldn't be without it.

Even though I could not try it at the dealership and the salesman (as usual) knew little about it I had pretty much decided that it was a must have.
My attitude is if it prevents one accident its worth it. There is not much of an incentive now to buy a 2018 to get what is left so I decided to wait until 2019 although the tariffs might take its toll on the price !

Who Would Have Thought
I too doubted the value, all I thought I needed was front and back views. But living in the suburbs the 360-degree view is invaluable multiple times per trip.

"Makes parking much much easier."
Exactly. If you're that bad of a driver that you can't park without a camera then you shouldn't be on the road....

I think the 360 camera is pretty cool. I don’t have it, but that’s only because it wasn’t on the truck I picked out.
There are places I park where it would be handy for being able to pull straight up 1/4” from a concrete wall just by checking the camera.
