Without a second set of eyes, it’s difficult to back up a truck and properly position a trailer simultaneously. Knowing where your trailer ends intuitively can be challenging, too — especially with large, boxy cargo trailers. Thankfully, that’s where items like this trailer camera from Tadi Brothers come in. With 17 reviews and a rating of 4.9 stars out of five, buyer sentiment is high, even if sales are limited. The camera connects wirelessly to a monitor (also included) that displays a rearview image at all times, giving you a serious increase in peace of mind.
Some of the pricier systems allow multiple camera connections to hook up in places like the tow hitch, the sides of the trailer, and the back. A few even offer a split-screen configuration so you can monitor multiple places on the trailer at once. Depending on your truck and the camera system you go with, the camera display can connect to your existing touchscreen or hook up to a new, aftermarket screen.
Many truck manufacturers have started offering trailer camera kits as accessories or even camera systems that make your trailer disappear entirely. But if your truck didn’t come with a high-tech invisible-trailer solution, it’s worth shopping around for something on the aftermarket.
