Apparently, Ford has really thought about it much to the fore ahead and adds a camera mounted on the front grille which provides a live video feed through an eight-inch dashboard screen of what is in front of the truck when traveling under 15 miles per hour. Intended to give drivers the ability to have such a function without the need to scout out of the truck, helping to avoid rocks or other obstacles while crawling through the most intense field.
