I did look at the new GM HD camera system on their website and it appears it will be much more useful. From what I could see you can use it as a full time rear monitor.
If you want to turn the Ford backup camera on while driving forward down the highway simply put the gearshift lever in reverse.
Man, I can't understand why I didn't come up with that solution. I'll give it a try next time we are out and let you know how it works out.
It works. I've done it to switch on the bed camera to view what I have in the box.
Okay, I'll bite. Thought you were making a joke. You are aren't you?

Side bed step is useless. To make the side step be functional it needs to be back by the front of the rear tire to comfortably reach the tool box and 5er hitch.
Have you used this step in these new vehicles that were shipped from Flint MI last week? Or is this just your opinion?

Dang ugly front end. Mom needs a new SUV next year, I sure hope the new Tahoeโs are not a copy in 2021.
