I was under the impression dealer installation included in the DIOs was one of the big things Ford touted. Well guess it's another wait and see.There is wording in the Accessories section of B&P that indicates that installation costs are not included in the listed accessory cost for dealer installs. May be good to include during the super fun negotiation phase
I put that part number in google and the rims that came up with the matching number looked like the BD steelies.I suppose that Ranger Bronco Dealer Channel Wheels are another wheel option. $1299 for a set of 5 - not sure what else it could be.
A pic would be nice. And maybe wheel size.
Download the excel versionNeed one without the watermark that I can read........well, maybe I'm better if I can't. lol
I disagree. I have dashcams in two of my vehicles, both with front and rear cameras. The software links the two video files so you can easily switch between front and rear while watching the timeline. You are right about being rear ended and it being there fault but wouldn't you like to catch them with true video. Would be an easy open and shut claim.A forward facing camera would show that you weren't backing up and disprove their claim. I really don't see the need for a rear view camera other than for entertainment purposes if you happen to catch an accident behind you.
It appears you just value it differently. What I call frivolous entertainment value you call "very telling and worth the price of admission". A rear camera doesn't help you in a rear end collision any more than the forward facing camera, it just gives you a good video to show people, i.e. entertainment.I disagree.

But nevermind that advantage. Even better is that the rearview camera is more handy in other ways. You would be surprised at what you catch going on behind you, especially since the rear camera catches the "front" of people and not the back like a front camera does. I sometimes go back after an incident and see what the driver did after he got behind me. Very telling and worth the price of admission. But even that isn't the best use of a rear view camera...
The real advantage is when you are not driving but in park mode. Most of these dash cams have a security feature that captures movement or impacts will parked. With a wide angle front and rear camera you have (almost) full coverage around your car. A lot of wood be thieves or folks that enjoy property damage will strike from the back and not the front (I bet it's at least 50% . Front and rear are also good for maintenance work to make sure they do what they say they do. Not all work is done from the front and I have watched where the manager or other workers are up to no good shenanigans from behind the camera. Personally, the rear is just as useful as the front for me, which is why I bought both when I got my second unit for another car. Of course, that is just my real world opinion...

You do make a point that it could be useful regarding maintenance work but I generally buy very reliable vehicles that just need standard maintenance so I see little value in that. As for damage, I've had my passenger side window smashed twice by thieves, they seem to show up just fine on my forward forward facing camera both times (not that it mattered since the police didn't catch either guy).
I wouldn't call it a more entertaining place, but maybe more eventful. I'd rather see cows than the stupid shit I do capture on my dashcam.Y'all must park your vehicles in more entertaining places than I do. About all I would get from it is a cow sticking it's tongue 6 inches up it's nose, over and over, then licking my vehicle. While entertaining the first 100 times you see it, it does lose value over time.
