    Yeah, it's pretty sweet.
    I need to figure out a way to place another front facing camera on my bumper that will show up on the monitor. Kinda like an on board spotter.
    Even if my truck were stock with a bed and a clear view out the back I'd still be happy to have one of these.

    You can configure a custom kit from Tadi Brothers so you can specify how many cameras you want, the type of monitor, wireless vs wired, etc. Most of the Amazon kits don't give you the option to specify 2 exterior mount cameras with a mirror monitor, though the customization options do bring the price up significantly.

    I have never driven a Truck being able to see out the rear view mirror.

    I have always used the side mirrors I much rather use them then any camera .

    I had a new rental Truck for 2 weeks never noticed it had a camera till I returned it and was asked How I liked it .

    I told the manager I never really took notice.

    Then it is always a personal choice .

    agree but most people will learn that this is the very reason you have side mirrors. Then you're not staining your neck to look backwards.

    I learned this when I was 15. Parents driveway was barely wide enough for a car and was about 60ft long so I learned quick how to use the side mirrors.

    I've had luck applying a rag or paper towel in a back-and-forth motion to the offending surfaces of my cab and cap rear windows.
    I will occasionally treat the side mirrors in a similar fashion.
