Backup Camera Options for a 2018 Ram 3500
Question:
Backup Camera for 5th Wheel Tailgate - License Plate Mount - Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra - SC89VR Do you sell an equivalent system for a 2018 Ram 3500?

Expert Reply:
Though we do have several hardwired and wireless options available, there is not currently a plug and play option for back up cameras on a 2018 Ram 3500, unfortunately.
With that being said, the Swift Hitch Wireless Hitch Alignment Camera and Monitor # 04928 will be an easy to use and set up hand held option. This is easily mounted on either the vehicle or trailer to make for quick and easy maneuvering or coupling. It also has a 4 hour life when fully charged.
If you preferred something that draws power from the vehicle instead of being battery operated, the Hopkins VueSMART # HM34FR, though typically mounted on an RV or trailer, can be bolted to a Fifth Wheel Tailgate. This will require drilling to get it installed, but will connect to a smartphone so you will not need to run a wire up to the cab for a monitor.
However, if you do not mind running a line up to the cab, the Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors # HM60195VA will be the best option. This will mount to the license plate like the # SC89VR but will also have a 2-1/2" LCD monitor that will need to be mounted in the place of your choosing.
