Question:

Hi I have a dented 2016 chevy 3500 tailgate I am looking for a replacement. Maybe one of the 5th wheel cut out ones. Do you all make any that I can move my backup camera to. Or one that comes with one that woirks with my truck. Hoping to not give up my backup camera

Hey David,

For a 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 I recommend the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock for GM Trucks # VGM-14-4000. Since this replaces the entire tailgate and there isn't a mount for the factory backup camera I recommend also picking up the Custom Third Brake Light Camera System w/ Rear View Mirror # 3460014 to make backing up into a parking spot or when trying to couple up to your trailer easier.

This would replace your factory rearview mirror and have a built in screen that activates when the truck is in reverse. The camera has a mount that will sandwich behind the third brake light so you'll be able to see the pin box coupling to the hitch much easier.

Hey David, how did the new Stromberg Carlson 4000 tailgate and third brake light camera system work out on your Chevy 3500? Your feedback could really help others who want to keep their backup camera with a 5th wheel tailgate.
