having towed a golf cart on a trailer behind our 5er, I believe an additional point is worth consideration .... due to their widths, I can't see the golf cart trailer in my truck's mirrors .... I do have a rear view camera mounted on the back of our 5er and feel that offers some degree of safety .... in addition, I believe that it is very important to have a tire pressure monitoring system .... once while traveling at interstate speed, our Pressure Pro tire monitor sounded an alarm that indicated a problem with a tire on the golf cart trailer .... a glance at the screen for the rear view camera showed no problems .... I pulled over, walked around the front of the truck to go check the tire and a few steps later literally saw the tire blow out .... with out the tire monitor I wouldn't have known of a problem until the trailer was reacting to the blow out .... without the camera I probably wouldn't have known any thing was wrong until things got bad .... to me, the camera is nice, the tire monitor is essential
