I have read a lot about the Ram camera systems but some things still have me confused.
I now know Ram does not have a “transparent” mode like GMC but Ram does have a trailer camera option I think. Maybe more than one?
If I order a 2021 3500 with the Ram Surround View Camera System, is there an option for a trailer camera with wiring that can run under the TT and connect to the truck at the pin connector location? Will that trailer camera then become part of the Surround View System? Or would it be a separate screen showing just the rear view from the back of the trailer?
Another possibility I saw somewhere that I can’t find now is a mention of a rear of trailer camera that hardwires up to the truck and connects to a rear view mirror that is really a screen for the camera display. I would actually prefer that and to keep the in dash Ram screen for other things. The mention I saw was in a thread talking about the Ram camera system but I don’t know if it was a Ram option or something after market.
I want to order the best towing packages available as the truck will be towing probably 90% of the time. If anyone can add information or experience to help us figure out what to get, thanks!
