ONE MAJOR HASSLE: We remove the tailgate for loading the TC, so we lose the back-up camera. Removing the tailgate is easy, disconnecting the camera connector is one major headache - first, we couldn't even find it, then it's tucked into a odd area with others, and you can't tell which plug it is, and then, it's sitting there bare to the weather after you unplug it. It's very, very difficult to get to it, and believe it's a pretty dumb engineering fault to put it there if you need to get to it. Major hassle -- major hassle, I'll say it twice so you get it ...
Ford got it right in this department, they include a dummy plug in the glovebox to install when the tailgate is off. And the plug is easy to disconnect when removing the gate.
Some lead
Some follow
:W :W
monkey44 needs to read his owners manual, the GM rear view camera is not a pita to deal with AND has a plug on the end of the harness to prevent any contamination from entering the exposed ends.
The only thing I see Ford SD's following are tow trucks!
I know my '11 has the plug cover and is easy to get to behind the license plate, but he has disconnected his and he says it is NOT the same as my '11, so I would say he does know what is actually there and how easy it is to do.....

The way these fellow GM owners are jumping on you, you'd almost think you were driving a Ford.. :W :W :W :W :W
Seriously, just hope no body else removes your tailgate cause with all the stuff that can be in them in them the replacement price is crazy.
Go back about 10 years and predict that in about 2013 a tailgate for a pickup truck could cost over $2000 and they would think you went off the deep end.
