<div class="bbWrapper">I have a 2020 2500 Cummings and I tow a 30ft 5th wheel, I select conventional and it works. I don&#039;t think it kicks in until the other vehicle is close to the truck blind spot, but thats good enough for me.</div>

I haven&#039;t been here in a while. (Off topic warning) Looks like I&#039;ll be coming back though. Even after running the numbers best I could for weeks it turns out my new travel trailer is actually too heavy for my Gladiator, so as much as I love the thing it&#039;s going to have to get traded in for another HD. Wish I&#039;d just kept the &#039;20 in the first place, but I guess now I&#039;ll get to order a &#039;23 with all the new toys.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">So...Is the BSM still disabled when towing a gooseneck of fifth wheel for the 23&#039;s?</div>

Otherwise, for a full time DRW tow vehicle, this seems like a pretty worthless feature. Thoughts?</div>

With the sensors in the taillights they can’t see around (most) 5th wheels.<br /> <br /> Putting the sensors in the mirrors would make them even more enormous than they already are, and far more vulnerable to damage.</div>
