Does it help you when hooking up to a trailer? I can center up the ball to the tongue pretty well, but I hate getting close, jumping out of the truck seeing how much further I need to go, being conservative and not going far enough, now repeat this until the trailer is close enough. What a pain, this could be a great help.

YES it will. I dont have it adjusted to see the hitch just yet. Im not sure Im going to either, but if it was, it would deff. make it way easier to hook up. The camera came with 2 rings to use to angle it when you mount it. If you have a screen in your truck I highly recommend it. Plus the camera is prety inexpensive.Oh and waterproof as well. Might put one on the boat to help avoid them rock piles...

Tom, you took too long to send it here, so I just ordered mine off their website. WITH the power cord Did you get yours off their eBay account or from the website?
Edit: Just went out to the truck and measured the hole in the bumper for the spare tire lowering rod to go through, and it's 2.8MM

I got it off ebay. And no I didn't get the power cord. I just cut the plug off the end and wired it myself...saved me $6 Woo Hoo
And so you know, I drilled a 1" hole and it perfect.
