There is no tow pkg $0, basic tow pkg ~$500, and advanced tow ~$835. Which ones give side view when using turn signals? And does it work good to see the blind spot? Our car does good job with side view cam, would like to have similar on Ranger if we can.

Thanks!

I got the basic tow package and I don't have side view. I don't even see it mentioned in Advance tow package either.

I have a Lariat with the advanced tow package and yes, it does have the side view cameras when the turn signal is on. It’s very clear and show the blind spot(s) extremely clearly.

OK thanks! So advanced tow has it. Just need if someone can confirm if basic tow also has side view cams. If so then I have more trucks to choose from when looking at inventory.

As I stated above no basic tow doesn't have it.

My NA 2024 Lariat with basic tow package has the side view cameras. And I just enabled the feature using ForScan that automatically shows that camera when the blinker is turned on.

I don't have ForScan so I guess I can't enable them.

ah neat! When you enable the camera view, does it change the blind spot sensor or assume it is in tow-mode? I want to keep default non-tow situation and just be able to glance at cam when lane change. I want to keep regular sensors, shift points, etc. Thanks!

it only comes on when a trailer is connected. I don't thinks this changes any blind spot sensor settings

you need the 360° camera/technology package to get that. which I beleive is standard on the lariat. xlt and below tech package is optional
