Its been a while since I had the tailgate apart and I wasn't thinking at the time to take pictures of the process.....but from what I remember there is a lot of room so it think it would fit depth wise. Measure the blank spot on the tailgate and subtract about 1/4 inch to see if you could cut a hole big enough for it. The 1/4 is my guess at the lip I remember being around the handle piece. My camera has the following specs and it works great at night. 1 lux minimum illumination, 130° wide angle CCD color camera, 1/3" CCD sensor, 330 lines or resolution. In town I can see as far back as you would ever need to, at least a couple hundred feet if not more. I'd say if you got a camera with a 1 lux rating (or less) your tail lights will provide enough to see a trailer behind you. You probably already know this in your search for a camera, but some people might not, lux is a measure of light sensitivity the lower the number the more sensitive the camera is.
