Mud community,
I have a 2021 200 Series that is my new tow vehicle for my small Airstream. Bought the truck for countless reasons, one being a more comfortable tow vehicle over the 2012 Tacoma I have had since new.
To my surprise when picking up the Airstream from storage, I found I could not for the life of me center the trailer coupler onto the hitch from the rearview camera (pic included). If our exhaust pipes came out the right side of the truck, that is what is showing as "center" from the camera view.
Today I brought the truck to the dealership and asked for the rear camera to be recalibrated, and learned from them calling Toyota, this is "just how it is". Super surprising on such a premium truck, especially since my Tacoma was rock solid center and I could always count on hitching up without assistance. What the heck?!?
How have any of you experienced issues with the rear camera for trailer hook up? Have you just grown used to it, or have you sought out other solutions? I saw Victory 4x4 has a rear camera relocation kit, but I'm not planning on moving my spare to the back of the truck. Any advice or thoughts are helpful. Thanks.
