Reverse sensing system . . . how's that work??
I assume this is a system for sensing objects behind you that can't be seen, right?
How close does an object have to be before it is "sensed"?
What kind of waring are you given?

It senses all objects in the rear of the truck.Even a small dog will set it off.
3 to 6 feet depending on size and where it is.
A beep is heard.It starts slow.The closer you get the faster it goes.At about one foot the buzzer is solid.If the radio is on it will lower the sound so you pay attention to the beep.
You can turn it off to tow something.
I think it is worth the money.

There are little round sensors in the rear bumper. Check out this photo...bottom right on the bumper, you'll see one of the sensors...

Reverse sensing
When ordering my 04 Lariet, I thought the reverse sensing system was the most useless option I had ever heard of.
Well, within the first 20 feet I drove my new truck, leaving the dealer, I was very happy to have mine functioning. With the extended height of the bed and tailgate, and the height of the truck itself, rearward vision is greatly reduced from my previous truck and I quickly realized how valuable this option really is.
