Can I tow with stock tailgate?
We just bought a new tow vehicle, 2017 gmc 3500hd, and I'd like to keep the stock tailgate with the backup camera. I have about 6 1/2" of clearance between the truck sides and the bottom of the traile...

Like you, I prefer my stock tailgate. Ten yrs towing the 5er with no problem. I have a hard roll type tonneau cover that I roll back and lock when not towing to keep things in the bed hidden from view and the hitch covered.
As mentioned above, just remember to lower the tailgate then hitching and unhitching. Many tailgates have been replaced because someone forgot.
