I just installed a Rove2-4K last week in my F250. It’s probably from China, but doesn’t look like it. First impression is, “Nice box.” Everything’s included, and packaged well. The instruction booklet is written in plain English with good illustrations. The install could take between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on how well you hide the wiring.
It’s strictly plug-n-play. Stick the cameras to the front and back glass, run 2 cables, plug it into dash outlet using supplied adapter, and it starts recording when the truck starts.

I've been running dashcams for over 10 years or so. A wide variety of the cheaper ones. A couple have failed due to heat.
I'm looking at taking a trip overseas shortly and have been looking for a good video (vlog) and picture camera.
The DJI Osmo Action 4 camera looks like it will fit my travel needs and gets high praise against the GoPro. Ordering it tomorrow. But, it can also work as a dashcam as well.
High quality video, set your own loop times, magnetic mount, etc.
Google "DJI Osmo Action 4 as a dashcam", several Youtube reviews.

Another vote for Rove R2 4K. We've had 3 of them for a few years now. Pretty easy to use, good quality video during playback. I generally download a video to my desktop Mac if I want to view it. A search will usually turn up bargain prices somewhere.

Redtiger 4K with rear camera (not rear facing). Also have a Wolfbox that attaches to the RVM, with a rear camera and GPS. They both have quality image, though the Redtiger wireless (or the iphone) suck.

Have the 70mai front and rear camera. The rear camera is useless with my 5th wheel so I have it on the front dash pointing at the drivers side window in case I have any of those crazy road ragers come up on my vehicle.

I just installed a Rovi 2 4k also. I bought the hardware kit. Install took me a little longer since I had to route the wires. I don’t like wires hanging about. Great camera so far. I’m ordering another for my wife’s car.

Just checked their site. Looks like the newest Super Duty edition is for 2021, also dependent on lane keeping and mirror auto dimming options.
Would have like to find one for my 2023.
