Turn on the cargo camera.


Cargo camera is useless. Backup cam is of some use. It's not terrible to back just challenging.

Said it before I love my mirrors and leave them in "Antler Mode" on the DRW at all times because the spot works best that way. On my 01 Sport I leave them down because the spot works the same either up or down.

^OMg lol!
Well on the upside it appears Steve made it to the campground in one piece based on his recent posts about…stuff.
Thought maybe he’d update on how awesome that big ole cowboy Cadillac towed his camper?

Looking for a challenge??? Hop in and try backing this little trailer with the DRW's hips in the way.

I have an enclosed motorcycle trailer that I sometimes tow behind my fiver. It’s a little longer than yours, which helps, but it’s a little narrower than my fiver which makes it tough to back up. I added a camera to the back of my fiver which has made it a fair bit easier. Backing up that Harley trailer would be easy as pie with the Ford Pro Trailer Backup Assist. Does Ram offer a trailer backup nanny on their 3500?

Oh Boy! I know you guys are aware, that you never make fun of a man's ride, be it his bike, or life partner.

Truck choice humor, among friends, OK[emoticon]

^Agree, backing with bike visible on trailer, easy peasy.[emoticon]

BTW, Steve made it to destination without a WDH![emoticon]

No that’s only Frod that offers the trailer nanny. Catering to the majority of their customer base….lol.
It’s common knowledge that those that drive Ram trucks have the intelligence and ability to back a trailer all by themselves without help!
Hahahahaha

No idea, would not have it if they did. A Man just have to be able to do things!!!

It's not that big of a deal I hook it to the truck maybe once a year and need to back it. The lift crank has a wheel that makes it easy to roll around.
