No, no.

Front and or side cameras require an IMPB which is a module that the Rangers/Everests do not have.

3rd party China hardware out there will do it if you want to go that way.

You can add a front camera that uses the Sync 2/3 display, but you'll need extra hardware and it won't be nicely integrated. It sits between the Sync head unit and overrides the display when it's active. It uses either the left OK button or a hard switch to activate, and deactivates at about 20 kph.

I added these a couple of years ago, but there are others on the market too:
