2023 PB Backup camera is blurry

[Captain Dirty Beard]

Anyone else having issues with the resolution or clarity of their backup camera? Im talking like 2005 bad. I'll take a picture of the screen and upload it here, but I really expected much better. The lens is clean, it almost seems like maybe condensation is built up inside of it, or perhaps they are all this bad?

Check for recall. I just read an article saying that there is a chance of water getting into the tailgate and affecting the camera. Perhaps your vehicle is on the list.

I just assumed they were crap and accepted the horrible quality, haha. If there is a fix that would be cool.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Hi Kevin! I can look into your F-150's camera concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your F-150’s VIN?

For a night-time shot, that looks about right. They prob. use a middleware CMOS camera sensor.

Pretty disappointing really. Not that I'm a Tesla fanboy, but my wife's Model Y cameras are roughly 23976149028 times better.

Unfortunately, this isn't Ford's priority.

I wonder if they use the same middleware cams on the MACH-E ?

What ever came of this?

I just picked up a new 2025 and my 2013 F150 camera is much clearer and more useful

Hmmm. My Brother in law has a decked out Denali and my cameras are next level, compared to his.

I just live with it. I even replaced the backup camera and had the same result. Maybe it is a connection issue/bad cable etc. but every car we have had in the last 10 years has a vastly superior camera system than my truck
