Tow Technology Package?

Does the trailer camera & TPMS ship separately?

I don't think trailer tow technology includes trailer camera and tpms but I could be wrong

This what comes with the tow technology package.

Make the task of towing easier with adaptive steering, automatic high beam with rain-sensing windshield wipers, lane departure warning, and Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System (includes 360-degree camera plus center high-mount stop lamp camera).

The Trailer camera and TPMS is a separate option.

Hope this helps.

Yes, they do. My dealer has my camera system is sitting on the Gen. Manager's office floor. I was just there and saw it. He said that they generally arrive very close to delivery time of the truck.

Can you add the Trailer camera later? I think I saw a thread on that...

Is there a difference between this Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera and a Tow Technology Package? Specifically, should I have gotten a trailer camera with my Platinum with the UTTC?

I'm not real sure which is which. I received my truck yesterday and the dealer gave me a box with the camera system that goes on the back of the trailer in it. He said that of all the camera systems they have sold, that not a single person (that they know of) has hooked it up yet, and that they are yet to see one in use.

Long time stalker, first time poster... Do the side cameras that are part of the ultimate tow camera system turn on with the turn signal? I'm trying to figure out if BLIS is necessary/helpful if the cameras turn on when the turn signal is engaged. I couldn't get my hands on one during my test drive since none of the trucks on the lot had it installed.

The cameras do not turn on with the turn signal. That huge rounded mirror misses nothing though.

Do you guys know if this package can be added after delivery of the vehicle? By the dealer?

The trailer TPMS and camera can be added after delivery if you have the tow tech bundle from the factory. I'm not sure if it can be added if you don't have the tow tech bundle.

Thanks Karl...I'm curious if the adaptive steering is a software upgrade? Or other tow technology bundle can be added?

Dealer told me the tow tech package needs to be installed when built at the factory. They use a different wiring bundle... Gone are the days of vehicles being built with all the wires there and options being added at the dealership or at home.
