Best thing ever for hooking up a trailer by yourself.

I like mine a lot. Really handy for hooking up a trailer, and making sure no kids or pets are behind you

I take pride in knowing where the ends of my truck are and being able to park my ball under my hitch consistently. My wife thinks her car is 40 ft long and parks 10 ft away from everything. A camera is a crutch, but it sure could be a handy crutch.
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

I thought it would be nice when they first came out. Turns out I never look at it and just use the mirrors like I always have!

My wife's car has one. The camera is built into the back of the car but points just a little to the side. If you think the car is going to back up to the middle of the screen, you'll always miss the target. I can back up with mirrors - her, not so much. I drew a marker line crooked on the screen so she would know where the middle actually was and it worked. But she didn't like the line and removed it.
I now back up with the mirrors and she only drives forward. I think they're a good idea. Ours is just designed poorly.

Really good for if it is recording and when a bump occurs and the dingbat hits you from behind you have the security card for insurance purposes. Same as front mounted dash cams, cheap lawyer riding all the time. One thing is if you have a tendancy to "road rage talk" turn off the inside recording, you may cook your goose in that you are "not having due cause" in your driving mode. Talk about Big Brother. I'll pass.

I would expect that one to work fine. Mirrors are there for a reason, many people rely on the camera too much. The mirrors can see where the camera can't, and the camera can see where the mirrors can't. Together they make a really good system.
