hi all - I've been searching these forums like crazy, as well as google, and I just can't find the answer. I'd like to buy a 3500 and I'll be trailering a 24' enclosed racecar trailer. I find towing intimidating.
There are 2 groups:
- tow technology plus group
- towing technology group
both or either is selectable, and they seem to have different features from each other, all of them pretty great.
Now here's the confusion: neither of the groups includes "Wired Tow-Mode Camera" -- which is only selectable if I choose a THIRD option: "Tow-mode digital rearview mirror" package which includes the digital rearview mirror AND the wired tow-mode camera. (The plus group mentions this digital rearview mirror but not the camera for the trailer.)
If I try to choose this third option, so I can see behind the trailer, it deselects the plus group, and then I lose trailer steering control and other things.
This wired tow-mode camera does not appear as a standalone option.
Long story short: is it impossible to have both the plus package and a camera on the back of the trailer? That seems weird to me.
The digital rearview camera showing what's behind the trailer would be so rad...but so would the steering control.
Thanks!
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I've searched and not found the answer.
