The back up camera on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 would have to be disconnected when removing the factory tailgate and would not be able to be reinstalled unless the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate Item # VGM-14-4000 was modified to fit it. On most of the newer trucks the back up camera is integrated in the handle.

The only 5th wheel tailgates available for your 2018 Ram 2500 are the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series #VGD-10-4000 and 100 Series #VGD-10-100. You can add the Insert Kit #4000-V to the 4000 Series to gain a little more privacy. While neither of these…
