Last year I backed my truck into a rock wall island and an apartment complex. Tore up my rear mud guard. Pissed me off. Had to buy and paint a new one. Problem was, I only did it to one side, but had to buy both of the guards and have both painted.

Thankfully, I may never have that experience with my baby. As part of the sales package, the dealership will be installing the 'Backup Navigator'. It is a pair of sensors placed on the rear bumper. They are a warning system designed for alerting the driver of unseen dangers from 6 to 2 feet of the rear of the vehicle. This is a very costly system; however, my baby is well deserving of the best.

Yeah I got the rear reverse sensor as well...mine was free:

I TURN MY HEAD AND LOOK!!!!

Geez...are people just lazy and can't look back or something?!?!? There's only 3 mirrors to help you look behind. All else fails roll down your window and look back.

The only people I know that are too lazy (or just refuse) to look back are old people. They just put it in reverse and have the "here I come!" attitude.
It's so annoying

Reverse sensors will most likely NOT notice a pole or small object like that. I read a whole long artice in the Canadian Consumer Reports magazine about that. It completely told me, that everything I thought true, was false. If I remember right, something about the settings for large items, like cars, not poles, as it would detect everything, and keep going off, giving too many false alarms.
