Any of you with factory backup/rear view cameras:

- how useful are they?
- is their field of view good enough for trailer hook-up?

I'm thinking about installing a retrofit kit on my Silverado. Thanks for the info.

Unnecessary in a pickup IMO

Men have backed up and hooked to trailers for nearly 100 years in a vehicle.

Sounds like something everyone needs, and can't live without.

pretty sure that I read that backup cameras have to be standard install on ever vehicle above a certain size on 2014 models....and that all pickups, SUV's and mini vans would apply to that.

We have it on our vehicles now....I would never pay a single penny more for that shite! But eventually they will add it to the cost of my next vehicle because the government says so...and I will be forced by the government to pay for something that I really dont use...

Imagine that!

I have one and fricking love it. I didn't go out hunting for one but the truck had it anyways. It gets used everyday and has saved my bumper because of it.

All these manly men love to use toilet paper. People have wiped their asses with other things for thousands of years, why yall being bitches?

Sounds like you needed one...

Because I don't see the need for one. I pull a boat,4wheeler, or cattle trailer probably 60+ times a year and my bumper is fine too. Why pay extra for something I don't need. Do I see how it works and the benefit? Yes... I'm sure my wife would love it.

I agree but I'll stick by my statement...I wouldnt pay an extra penny for it. If it comes with my vehicle (which it has) then that is what it is...but I wouldnt get hit up for 500 bucks for that bullshite.

I learned the hard way (when I was 15) how to back up a truck and dont seem to struggle with it anymore for the last 15 or so years....

we might be get'n trolled here....

I mean, I would hate to think that there is an OB'er that doenst know how to back a phucking truck up so much that they would LOVE A BACKUP CAMERA to help them accomplish that difficult task!

Surely they are simply trying to dig us into talking shat about one of the most obvious signs of being a fracking man and being able to back up a truck...right?

That was a response to CBD. Sounds like you ain't that sharp.

Obviously because you are a manly man. Do you use a rifle to hunt with? A bow works just fine.

You or I? Because neither was a response to CBD as the time stamp shows...

Yeah, during rifle season.

Yeah, during bow season. I have a couple of bow kills. Backed right up to them with 4wheeler to load them up. No camera needed.

to all, except TC. You're too manly to drink out of glass mugs. Only aluminum cans for you.

I didn't mean to bunch your britches.

By all means, if I get on here bragging about how great tampons are... give me shite about it.

I think you just jumped the gun a little early about how great a stupid back up camera is, and now regret showing your hand. As they say in the poker world... "call".
