The only 5th wheel tailgates available for your 2018 Ram 2500 are the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series # VGD-10-4000 and 100 Series # VGD-10-100. You can add the Insert Kit # 4000-V to the 4000 Series to gain a little more privacy.

While neither of these have a backup camera built-in, we do have a selection of license plate-mounted cameras that you can choose from. Some of these have a monitor while others will replace your rearview mirror and have the monitor built-in. I have attached a link to our selection for you to check out.

I do have an option for you but the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate part #VGD-10-4000 does not have a spot for the factory backup camera. Therefore you would either need to find a way to mount this yourself, go without, or…
