There are aftermarket reverse sensors that mount around the tag on the rear bumper and sends a signal to the cab. A co-workers wife had one installed from the dealer when she bought her Explorer.

It would probably be an easier route then drilling the holes in the bumper, unless you can find a bumper from a junk yard...but, then I am not sure about what components you would need up front.

www.jc-whitney.com sells them.

A better idea having a lift might be installing a camera

I can't find the Ford one...maybe it wasn't a "Ford" one, but an aftermarket that the dealer put on...I DID find this though, looks like the one I've seen....

Don't know if it's what your looking for or not.
