Fifth Wheel cameras and tow vehicle

Hey folks Looking for some guidance. I just ordered a fifth wheel. Now I have a couple of months to find a tow vehicle. The new camper has a 4-camera security/tow system. I’m looking at a 2017-2019 Ford F-350. My questions are:
How does the rv camera system tie into the truck display? Do I need the towing technology group on the Ford to make it work?

    You're better off buying a separate monitor for the trailer camera. The factory screen in the truck will only display the trailer camera while the truck is in reverse.


    Are you sure about that, my 2016 Ram Laramie the rear cam is available from the touch screen.

    What brand is the system on the 5th wheel?
