front camera on 2012

[raptor2012]

Does anyone know a purpose the front camera will serve on the 2012 if it isn't gonna be offroaded very much. The rear camera comes in the luxury package and it is a 525 option for front and rear cameras. So you are really paying 525 for front camera if you got the luxury package. Do you think it would be worth the money?

It would help with parking a lot I would think.

Trailer brake controller in NOW standard with Lux Pkg 55L
(and if you order Lux pkg WITHOUT NAV, they rear camera is included)

If you choose to order a 2012 raptor WITHOUT Lux Pkg, then you can still order 61R raptor plus pkg. BUT ONLY without Lux Pkg

61R Raptor Plus pkg =
Rear camera
Trl braker controller

Are you getting the Luxury Package? If so, you must get FR/RR Camera option to even get a rear camera. If you are not getting the Lux Pack, then you must get the Plus Package for the rear camera.

Towing. The combo of the large NAV screen with the black dotted centerline is awesome for backing up to a trailer.

Front or rear view. On my side of the garage either option would be a god send. When you have less then 12" to share between the back wall and the garage door, then this is great.

I am sure once the 2012 Raptors arrive, the owners will figure out creative clever uses for it...

Never needed a back-up camera to park my H2, Bentley, or my Mercedes but it's been a nice little feature just to "double check"

Yes, the rear camera is a must-have for towing and useful for parking. And personally, I can definitely find the front camera useful for parking as well. I live and work in a big city and have to maneuver in tight parking garages and will often have to shoe-horn a vehicle as big as the Raptor into small spaces, not to mention parallel park it sometimes. The Raptor is probably not the ideal vehicle for a city dweller like myself, but I love it enough that I will likely buy one regardless and make a go of it

Oh, and hi all. First post! Doing some research on this truck and glad I found this forum. Seems like a great community and resource that you all have here.
