The trailer mounted rear camera is a very nice thing to have.
But, remember the acronym GOAL. Get Out And Look. Nothing is better than your eyes looking around for potential problems.
A weigh distributing hitch is a nice thing but not usually needed using a Ford F250 heavy duty truck until the weights hit over 12,000#. The F150 specs require them at 500# tongue weight or 5000# tow weigh, this colors many opinions.If you don’t get/use a WDH, air bags or similar May be needed to lessen rear squat.
