Too Much Tailgate??

Just wondering how much tailgate any of you guys are seeing in the view from the backup camera. My tailgate covers of a little over a third of the view. It just seems like after I purchased the truck I could only see the bumper. Makes me think the camera has shifted out of position??? What kind of view do you guys have? Thanks for viewing!!!

 

yup, something is out of alignment. I can see everything, with the edge of the bumper just along the bottom.

 

Ok thanks man! Should I take it to the dealer or try to fix it myself?

 

dealer. So they can't claim it was your fult for trying to fix it.

 

That makes sense. I'll give em a call. Thanks for the advice!

 

Someone else posted a pic of theirs in another thread. That's what mine looks like.

;D

 

I can see a bit of the tailgate but pay attention as to where the bumper is. What I like it that as the bumper alines with the parking spot line or curb, as I back into a space, I know that I am right on top of it.

That is what I see as the best thing of this feature. If I had a trailer I can see that this would be great.

 

best thing by far is hooking up a trailer when you are by yourself

 

Thanks for that pic!
Mine looks exactly like that.
I could have sworn that last
week I could only see the bumper.
Thanks guys! This site is awesome!

 

Thats my view too.......I think you're OK.

 

Don't suppose you had your tailgate down when looking? I did that once after unloading bikes and had to look into the mirror for 5+ seconds trying to figure out what the hell the camera was showing me.

 

Definitely. People always wonder how I can back right up to my boat trailer on the first try lol.

 

where do you guys have the camera mounted?. on the handle or license plate wrapper?

 

on 09"s and 10"s it comes stock on the SR5 and above trim packages, and is mounted in the tailgate handle.

 

Haha! I did that backing out of the garage last week. Day after I bought it.

 

Or to avoid fighting with the spouse.

;D

 

X 2 my wife loves this feature for sure.

 

You gotta know where your bumper is.... Or you gonna hit it on something!!
