    New and thank you for having me. I came from a Genesis coupe now in a 3 inch lifted TRD Sport. Love it! But trying to get get it into a forward parking spot downtown I can't see where my front end is. What is the best camera to help with that so I don't clip anything?
    Thanks

    Its not the camera you need to worry about its the aftermarket camera interface. I used the Geremes Lab module and am quite happy with it as it uses the factory steering wheel buttons to operate. Other interface modules require separate switches to be installed.

    Most any back-up camera available on Amazon will also work on the front of your truck, I went with a Natika camara from Amazon.

    Thank you. This will not affect my warranty will it?

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    Drive forward ever so slowly until you touch, then back up a couple inches. Good to go on the front end.
    Use you backup cam for reverse.
    No problems!

    Yes and no. If say your OEM back-up camera starts to malfunction and you take the truck into the dealership with a 3rd party interface module and front camera added, yes they could deny the warranty claim/service visit.

    Now if you took your truck into the dealership because the rear end differential was grinding itself to death, it would be near impossible for them to claim your camera mod had any affect on the rear end problem.

    Of course you could always remove the camera modification before any dealership visits if it would calm your fears of being denied warranty service.
