Factory Backup Camera Compatibility with 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Louvered Tailgate

Question

Question:

Hi, I would like to relocate my factory backup camera onto the Stromberg VGM-14-4000 tailgate for my 2015 Chevy 2500 HD Silverado LT utilizing the same camera and cord. Is there a bracket that I can install the camera into?

We get asked this question a lot. There is not a mount for your camera that is directly compatible with the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks # VGM-14-4000 or any of the other replacement options like the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with Open Design for GM Trucks # VGM-14-100.

I am aware that people have made this work, but I don't have anything that is a direct fit. It will require customization.

Yes you are - all 5th wheel hitches are going to require some type of rails in order to be used. So you'd need #DM8552016-71 for your 2006 Dodge Ram.

Since the Trimax #TMX56RR did not fit, I recommend taking a look at the etrailer 5th Wheel King Pin Lock #e98896. I like this lock because it is designed to be universal, and will fit virtually any pin box with a standard kingpin. The collar of the…

The Trimax King Pin Lock #TMX56RR can still be used with your 5th wheel having a capture plate from PullRite. The capture plate mounts to the top of the kingpin and only takes up a similar amount of space that a Lube Plate #RP83002 would. If you…

Answer 6

Most manufacturers are in the process of discontinuing their fifth wheel tailgates with the camera relocation kits due to mechanical issues. Therefore I could not find one that fits your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty. The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series…

No, with your set-up you can not use a rotating pin box (Sidewinder). The Replacement Base for B&W Companion Flatbed 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch #BWRVB3055 you have still uses the turnover ball for its connection point. The reason you can not use a…

The cutout measurements on Stromberg Carlson 4000 Louvered Tailgate #VGM-07-4000 are 34" wide at the top and 24" at the bottom of the cutout. I also confirmed with the manufacturer the 100lb weight capacity. They did not recommend using the…

A Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System such as #TFR1504D which fits your 2013 Ford F-150, does not take the place of a weight distribution system. The Timbren systems will help reduce body roll and absorb shock but will not transfer the load of…

The easiest way to tell the difference between the 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic and New Body Style is the tail gate or the tail lights. The new body style will have a large Chevy bow tie emblem in the center of the tail gate. It will also have red…

For a 5th Wheel Tailgate like #VGD-10-4000, I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Flush Mount Camera #RVS-7707721 or the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System - Mirror with Monitor #RVS-772718 with this same camera. This is one…
