This is the camera of choice for Dodge Ram owners. It is a Sony CCD camera embedded into a custom tailgate handle camera explicitly designed for use on the Dodge Ram pickup truck. The camera completely replaces the factory tailgate handle giving a custom camera install without having to drill any holes or modify the truck's tailgate.

This is the perfect backup camera if you plan to pull a trailer! Simply remove your factory tailgate handle and replace it with this handle with the built-in backup camera.

It is a high-grade Sony CCD color camera embedded into a custom tailgate handle that is designed to replace the factory tailgate handle on the Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck, giving you a complete reverse camera installation without having to drill any holes or modify any of the exterior panels on the truck's tailgate.

The tailgate handle molding is made of the same high-grade ABS plastic that the OEM tailgate handles are made of, so you will be getting the same quality tailgate handle as the factory provides, if not better. The camera lens is flush mounted into the handle's molding, so you will not see anything sticking out once the handle is installed. All of the handle's linkage is the same as the factory's, so everything will be a direct swap, and you should not have to modify or tweak any parts of the linkage or key lock cylinder. The only thing that must be done is routing the camera's harness out of the tailgate and underneath the truck's chassis. No panels need to be cut, and no holes need to be drilled. It's that easy. The camera harness comes with a long length and is pre-loomed, so you can run it underneath the length of the truck without worrying about weather elements.

The camera itself uses a high-grade Sony CCD image sensor to give the best picture and has a wide 170° viewing angle to provide the driver with the absolute best view behind the truck and includes programmable parking assist lines to help the driver accurately judge the distance behind the vehicle when linking up to a trailer or for backing up in general.
