HELP: Ground wire placement?

I have a 2006 F-150 FX4 super cab.

I need to run a ground wire for my backup camera.

Where is the easiest place to run this?

If through the fire wall where is the easiest place to get through the fire wall?

Can you provide a little more detail as to what you are trying to accomplish? Is the ground going directly to the backup camera?

Where do you need the ground, at the backup camera or to the display unit?

If you are trying to ground the camera, just attach the wire to bare metal on the body
