Does having a Truck Cap cause any issues with Pro Trailer Backup? I wasn't sure if it used the bed view camera as part of the system.

Thanks!

It will only block one of the 6 views available. I don't think bed is that useful backing up anyway, except *maybe* if you have a gooseneck...

Take a look at this dude, he shows all the views. The split view "auto" mode is most useful, IMO, but it really f$*&ed with my head as my perception was skewed. It will take getting used to! But I'm actually looking forward to my first back-in with trees and stuff to avoid haha

Good to know! I have watched a couple videos on it. It will definitely be a learning curve I’m sure!

That's one "feature" I won't test/use
I'm the "pro" for trailering going forward or backing up. I will admit a camera on the back of a box trailer would be handy. I would save me getting out of the truck once when backing up to a garage.
