I’m new to the Expy family, coming from a 2021 F150 5.0. Is it just me, or does the backup camera look really bad? When I went to reverse, it felt like something from 2012! Everything else about the truck is an upgrade from my XLT, but that display is so disappointing. I’m planning to get it ceramic tinted and maybe add a CAI because I love the sound. Anyone have suggestions for good upgrades for the 3.5 engine?
Yeah, it’s pretty bad unless you have the package with the 360 camera. It’s the same with the Limited models too.

That’s a bummer. Why is the camera quality so bad?
@Mackenzie
I’m not sure if the backup camera is worse or if the 360 view just makes it seem better since it’s smaller. The resolution is the same, but it’s harder to tell when it’s split on a smaller screen.
@WilliamsMia
I haven’t noticed the 360 option on mine yet.

It’s pretty rare to see an XLT with the 360 camera.

Guess I’ll have to live with the outdated camera quality. Good thing I don’t reverse too much, lol.

That’s not true. The 360 camera comes with the tow package.
I noticed the same thing with my 2022 Max"—the camera quality is as bad as my 2015 4Runner. The 4Runner was small, so it wasn’t as noticeable, but now with the bigger screen, it really stands out. Still, I’m enjoying the new ride overall.
The sensors help a bit, but considering the price, the camera quality should definitely be better.
Nope, it’s still poor even with the 360 view. I have a 2016 F150, and the backup camera on that is way clearer than the one in my 2024 Expy. But after coming from a 2021 Explorer ST where the backup camera would blue screen half the time, I’m not complaining too much.
