Trailer mounted back up camera

I read that Ford offers this on the new trucks. Is there a version I can put on a 2015 that will show up on my in dash screen or is this only available for new trucks?

Not that I am aware without using an add-on device such as LockPick or create a long cable for the trailer to hook up a camera on the rear to the plug on the frame near the spare tire.

For $60 I bought an amazon one for trailers that I hope to use on the trailer I just bought.

I'd let you know how it works, but I won't know for another couple of weeks though.

Even though I've got the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera 360 system - and Love it - I'm going to get a standalone backup camera for the trailer and clip the screen onto the rear view mirror when I'm towing - and have it live all the time.

Hey Dak, does this plug into your harness? I want to do this on my camper since I have the tailgate off. If so, can you share which one you got?
