Adding front sensors?

[Stronglight]

Does anyone know if it's possible to add front sensors so they work seamlessly with existing rear sensors/camera? Truck is a '21 Lariat. Thanks.

Not sure, but a lariat without the tech package (501 or 502 or whatever)? Seems weird.

Just checked the window sticker, says, "Equipment Group 500A, Lariat Series."

Hmm. That's unfortunate. I have the same truck but with the 501A tech package. MSRP was $45005 and that included platinum white paint, sport package and some other stuff.

Yup, would have had to get the 501A Package, a $2005.00 option package that added all the bells n whistles.

Im sure you could add them, and use Forscan to tell the computer they are there, but might not be cost effective.

I believe you have to buy the sensors and their retainers/brackets and the harness for behind the bumper that has the additional wiring to support the sensors. You'd also have to drill 4 holes in the bumper to accommodate the sensors (or replace your bumper) and get the sensors painted to match the bumper. The switch to turn the system on/off would need to be added as well. Then of course turning the system on with Forscan.

I actually called two local Ford dealer service departments the other day and asked if it was possible to add and they both told me not possible to add.

I’m surprised they aren’t included since my 2019 XLT, with its minimalistic 300A package has front and rear sensors. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised with all the deletions Ford made in subsequent years but to not include them on all Lariats seems weird.
