I love the center stack, too. Never was real big on loaded up vehicles until I saw how much more they hold their value, too.
I have 2 rear facing cameras one for the gooseneck hitch and one for the bumper hitch.
Really great at getting rid of the laborious chore of getting out 5 times to make sure your hitch is positioned properly. The screen is very large, not one of those little screens the size of a deck of cards.

Sure, it’ll break someday, but so will a clutch on a manual transmission or a lift arm on a crank window, or a set of points on a distributor.

Some of the cab and chassis dually configurations also come with a narrow rear end, at least they used to, while the pickup duallies have the wide rear end. Perhaps a difference to keep in mind depending on one's application.

I do like features like the old push button radios. Very intuitive, and easy to use without taking the eyes off the road to make sure one is hitting the right button on a touch screen.
That the C&C has a narrower axle was one reason I like those over a pickup. All Gen 4 Rams have it as far as I know. My flatbed is probably meant for a SRW with the bed being just about even with the outside sidewalls.

Of course, the trailers are wider no matter what, but the narrow bed helps at times in tight quarters. Also, I have yet to load anything on the bed, always pulling trailers instead. One of these days I'll get around to build a "hot shot bed". All I need is the gooseneck hitch, fenders, and a couple of tool boxes, not the bed itself.

Oh, another plus with a C&C is the available 74 gallon fuel capacity.

Fully agree on the complete lack of tactile feel with a touch screen. It's the main reason I dislike them so much.

Ford has them as well but the camera resolution could be much better, How is the RAM's?

It can vary. Most times very good, sometimes fuzzy.

That's strange, wonder why it would vary.
I have cleaned the camera lenses a few times hoping that was it but no, just low quality ,low res cameras.

I have had some times where the screen is just blue. Usually seems to happen in areas where no cell phone reception, but that could be a coincidence.

I live in a remote area with poor cell phone service.

Pretty sure these cameras are hard wired in, no cell or networking required. Sounds more like a connection issue somewhere.
