Question Rear Camera

Is there an option for a rear camera on the f-350 or f-450? I seen one on e-bay an 08 F450 with the camera in the tailgate handle but it is not an option on the ford build it site, Anyone shed any light on this?

It is an option on the 08 Job 2 trucks that are now being built (wasn't an option on the first run trucks). The camera is in the tailgate handle, and the display is in the rearview mirror.

That will be a sure-fire hit once the parts become available for modding our older units. I've been wanting to do a stealth rear-view camera, and this sounds like just the way to go about it.

Yea what that guy said, but more of it. I ordered my F250 two weeks before the news about the rear camera was posted on this site. My truck is Job 2. But no camera. :-(

The camera option is WAY COOL!!!!!!!!!! I experienced it first hand at Phil Long Ford. Once I saw it I made sure that I ordered my new truck with it!!

It fits, stroken, but it ain't cheap. If I remember correctly, a new '08 tailgate is something like $1,000-$1,100 bucks. There was a guy in here in the last several weeks who was complaining about how flimsy and badly designed the tailgate step up ladder is, and that his company was going to be removing them (and I believe the entire tailgate, too). If you search, you may be able to find the thread and contact him for a deal on an '08 tailgate.

Here's my 05 handle with a pioneer camera mounted in it (just enough room to fit the camera behind):

Nice look, Greg. How much can you see in terms of where your bumper is?

05 CO King Ranch,
How much was this option if you remember? I'm waiting for my dealer to call me back so I can add it to my order.

Thanks,
CM

Goat , ther's no rhym or reason in Job 2, some trucks have the camera, it's not on the window sticker, some do have it and it's on the sticker...Ive argued with my wormy dealer, and they don't know what to say. My mirror has the 5 wires but no camera, I wonder if the camera can be plugges into the wire harness that's back there...I notced a YELLOW plug on the harness for the camera trucks.

I am waiting for the Force Field option so no one can back into my truck or screw with it in parking lots.
