Now a camera that lets you see behind your vehicle is nothing new. Most require a technology or a navigation system to get them on a new car. Ford is now adding a rearview camera as a stand-alone option, at a price of $450, and Lincoln and Mazda vehicles.
Instead of your screen being inside your dash or anywhere else. They place it in your rearview mirror so that your head does not need to do a doubletake to see where your mirrors are and your screen.
Ford’s image also gets overlaid with a grid that shows drivers the direct path of the vehicle to help them align the vehicle with a trailer, or a tight parking spot.
The rearview camera is available on the 2008 F-150 King Ranch, F-Series Super Duty and Lincoln Mark LT pickups, as well as the Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator and Mazda CX-9 SUVs.
