Ford uses a proprietary plug, that id rather not butcher for when I put the tailgate back on.
Ram uses these, which are rated for five (5!) mating cycles.

They can be connected a few more times than that if careful, but my connectors were showing significant wear after a dozen or two cycles. That's how/why I ended up with the part number for replacement.
BNC connectors, by contrast, are rated for 500 mating cycles.
As much as we take our camper on and off the truck, we'd wear through the OE connectors in no time. The truck is now BNC female and the tailgate BNC male. They connect directly when the tailgate is on the truck. I use a 4' BNC-F to BNC-M patch cable I built for connecting the tailgate when it's on the camper. I carry it on the deck, but you can probably use any camera that uses a 50 Ohm coax connection.
