back up camera

when your 5th wheel is connected to your tow vehicle that has a back up camera should it send alarms when you back up?

  • my F350 will if I am backing up with the tail gate down but once it is plugged into the trailer it disactavates that.

    Yes it will. but I know Ford has a button to disable it.
  • My 2008 f350 alarm goes if I put it in reverse when towing, the tailgate is down or any other obstruction. There is a button on the dash to disable it when necessary.
  • Most newer trucks know when a trailer is connected and disable that sort of thing.
