Biggest problem with the backup camera, it's useless if your tailgate is down. That's when you really need it.

Wow didn't know that.
Rigged a little cover around it helped against the sun glare.

Without my dash mat I could see the reflection of my steering wheel and anything on the dash.

For whatever reason starting today, my screen was extremely dim and was nearly impossible to see while driving during the day. I've owned my maverick since January and haven't ran into this issue yet.

Thinking that maybe it's some issue with the backlight? Hoping others on here had dealt with similar issue and reached a solution.

Been having that problem since day one. Bright sun can't use , can't see it. Great at night!! No I don't have sunglasses on and I have 20/20 vision! Lots of complaints from others.

I've not had any problems with my backup cam, other than no wide-angle view (miss that feature).
I'm in the Phoenix area when the only time we don't have sun is at night.

My advice to you and the OP.

Go see a vision specialist. Or take off your sunglasses.

I have no tint, and no issues whatsoever. Live in Floriduh.
I have a similar problem- the screen. No matter how often I change it to maximum brightness, it dims itself. I set it on 10, it goes to 9 that afternoon and down to about 5 in a few days. I noticed that if I see it to 9, it gets dimmer slower, but it always dims itself. I had hoped the last update would fix it, but no luck so far. I don't think to make sure it's not dim until I need it.
