Hey - apologies if this has already been asked. Does the rear camera allow for backing up the vehicle to line up the hitch ball with the receiver?
Hi @bikesandguitars as @ADVAW8S said, there are different opinions. The off-center camera means you can't see the trailer running straight towards the ball. Personally, I'm fine with it. However, I've been used to reversing trailers and, of course, coupling them for decades. I don't have a camera at all on my Land Rovers. So this is a huge improvement for me. But I understand people who don't do it that often and have an extra camera fitted.
You summed it up, if you've never had one on your towing vehicle, it's a improvement. But until you're nearly on top of the hitch you're still " blind" when a fair distance away trying to select your line. I often have to drive forward to reposition myself. I'll get used to it.
As others have said, opnions are divided but I think the standard camera is useless for exact alignment to the trailer hitch. My previous ride, a Grand Cherokee, has a brilliant rear camera and 8"screen and I could line up the tow hitch with millimetre precision.
Hi, be interested to see exactly how they are going to supply the power. Just wondering if it's a case of fitting an old fashioned fridge relay. Any more information on this would be most helpful. My dealer has been no help, my auto electrician does not want to touch it and Buzz could not give a fixed price. Cheers B
My 2022 Tundra practically backed itself on. I never needed a ground guide. Oh well, I’ll figure it out.
Nice camper trailer. What make is that
Green for the win! That is so damned cute ... admit that you've considered getting Scottish White steelies for the Grenadier and then painting the trailer Sela Green!
Yes. It's pretty easy once you get used to the off set camera. Occasional towers may have struggled, and yes it would have been better if the camera was central, but as I say once you're used to it its just like any other reverse camera.
