For your 2018 Ram 3500 Diesel Dually the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for Dodge Trucks # VGD-10-4000 is my recommendation. There is not a directly compatible backup camera option, but I know people have customized this tailgate to utilize that factory backup camera. This tailgate also can use the Louvered Tailgate Insert for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VI-4000 as well as the Louver Insert Kit for Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Tailgates # 4000-V if either or both are desired.

The Stromberg Carlson # VGD-10-100 is a steel option that is also compatible with your truck. I haven't heard of this one being customized to utilize the backup camera.

I’m looking for the VGD-10-4000 or VGD -10-100 for a Dodge Ram 3500 dually (long bed) IN WHITE. Are you able to paint it prior to shipping or do I need to find a body shop locally to do that? Thank you,

The Stromberg Carlson # VGD-10-4000 is only available in Black. We aren't able to paint it here before sending it out but you could certainly have this done if you wish.
