I think you may be right. I was checking out a 2018 Demon today and it had a
ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera as standard equipment.
Anyone else frustrated with Ford over the next GT500?

I was looking at 350Rs and they said after April I believe you can't order a Base 350R as they must have backup cam and that means electronic pack.

Wow I did not know that. Good info
Are we too stupid or lazy to look behind us before backing up? Do we need a regulation to enforce cameras on our cars?

If someone won't spin their head and look, they aren't going to use the camera either. LOL
Oh yes they would. People these days literally can't back up without one. I swear when I meet non car people they've been driving less than say ten years, need them.
I wanna say this was a Obama mandate because of people backing over kids.

You can spin your head all day long and still not see a child or animal directly behind your car.
someone backed out of a parking space and hit my wife (my wife's car) who was stationary behind her. She said she didnt see my wife ... who was directly behind her ... where the **** was she looking then lol? People are dumb
Some cars you can, some you can't.
If someone was standing directly behind my F-250, I wouldn't see them.
Yes, law was put in place by Obama for backing over kids.
Waiting for the law now where all vehicles somehow tell you "Hey dumbass you left your infant in the car!!!!"
Ford didn’t make very many base R models. Somewhere around 125 total so far and may end up with 13x.
I’m sure they will be happy to get rid of that option.

I have little kids and run dark tint, so I'd prefer a back up cam, especially when hard parking my GT500

Yes I would assume, I still think a loaded Lightning Blue R with twins could keep me happy until next GT500 ADM dies down.
Or I'll just mod the Charger HC and chill until GT500, I just miss daily shifting and that GT350 was a sweet shifter.

I absolutely agree with and support your opinion of owning and using a reverse camera or a vehicle with one in it. I don't agree with the federal government making me a criminal for not having one.
Not a criminal, you just won't be able to buy a new one without it. All previous models won't be outlawed.

I know... I was being a little facetious to stress the typical action of the government. Kind of like the Almond farmer the EPA put out of business because the ruts from his tractor filled with rain water. The EPA said that the muddy tire tracks were protected waterways and he was no longer allowed to farm his own land.
The truth is... in this exact case, it makes it illegal for the manufactures to produce and sell them in the US. But... the car companies don't care, they just raise the price of the car $2,000 to make up for the R&D and implementation. Which still sucks.
If it weren't for the government requiring them, headlights, side mirrors, rear view mirrors, tail lights, stop lights, side marker lights, horns, turn signals, safety belts, air bags, roll over protection and a lot more safety items probably wouldn't be standard equipment or even an option.
I am not for big government getting in my business, don't get me started on the 55 MPH national speed limit, but not everything they do is bad, just a lot of it.

BTW, I also want a periscope or better yet an armed drone, trunk launched. So I can see over the 4 wheel drive jacked up pickup that always seems to park next to me in parking lot. The armed part is just icing on the cake.
Actually, most of the stuff you listed is not required by law. In most states head lights and tail light are only required for night time driving. During the day, they are not required. Also, in most states, electronic turn signals and brake signal are not required. However, most states require that if they are present, they are functional.
All the rest of the stuff was invented and installed as part of a capitalist economy. If they weren't, how who the government know that it's possible and mandate it?
