2021 trucks with trailering package come with side view camera in use when backing trailer?

And Im wondering if there is a way to make this work on my 2020 AT4? It gives you the side view from under the mirrors like when towing and you put your turn signal on, only this does it when you put it in reverse with a trailer hooked up.

 

Its not the same down view for seeing the curb/front wheel/back wheel when parking, this one looks rearward.

 

Sure would help when backing the trailer and should simply be a software fix.

 

 

Anyone know if this is possible?

Do you need to have your signal on for this to work?

 

Ive tried both ways and nothing.

 

The article I read said it was new for 2021.

Soon as I hit the signal.. I also have my AT4 with every possible option. The ram and Ford can measure your trailer as well, I think this option is available on the 21s now. I just get the camera focused on my trailer, and I really like it. Haven't had a 8.5 width trailer hooked up yet but it all works beautifully on a 6 wide.

I have a 2020 AT4 Carbon Pro with tow mirrors - camera down the side works when I am towing only (trailer plug trips it).   I read on 2021 it may also work without trailer - which would be nice - as you can see great down side of trailer.  I have 24' that is 8'6" (102") wide and it makes a huge difference in visibility - when turn signal is selected, you just see that see that side on the entire screen.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
