    Anyone else have what looks like a camera view that is not centered? If so, is that a dealship issue, or a simple adjustment? Trailer ball shows at the bottom of the picIMG_3641.jpg

    Has the camera shifted in the tailgate handle?

    sounds like you need to take a walk around the back of your new truck to look at where the camera is located. it's not centered, specifically to make space for the centered tailgate pull.

    i would call this a design malfunction, and as regular old consumers, no amount of pestering or calling anyone is going to fix it.

    The camera isn’t in the middle of the tailgate.

    That's right, but the camera is physically offset to the driver's side. Thanks to the OP, my curiosity was piqued, and I checked my own truck. Sure enough, the camera picture was offset slightly to the passenger side. (Like in the OP's picture, the hashmark was roughly aligned with the first indentation in the bumper cover, on the passenger's side of center.)

    Apparently what the design is doing, is overcompensating for the off-center location of the camera. So the OP should have his mind at ease. This appears to be normal. (Frankly, I hadn't noticed it before.)
