I actually need the V-gate, for reasons I won't repeat again.
My truck is an antique so no tailgate camera for me. But it would be extremely easy to add a camera to a quality V-gate. You could even use the Ford logo style if you wanted.
I also have a V tailgate. Looks to be the same manufacturer as this one but one, maybe two louvres shallower. I still need to be careful with it & have a couple dings in it when not enough care was given.
After awhile you learn how high you need to be if you have lowered the trailer front end after hitching. Every trailer is different. My leg switches are under the overhang driver side. I raise the trailer till my nose touches dead center of a front corner marker light above the switches. Perfect clearance on flatish ground to go over the V & touch the 5th wheel at center of plate.
