Is BLIS worth it
I will be towing a travel trailer 1-2 times per month mostly through the desert and southwest mountains. I’ve never had a blind spot warning system before. With towing, I’m thinking BLIS would be useful. Unfortunately, majority of XLTs on my dealer’s lot doesn't have it. I do have a few to choose from, but it’s not with all the options I’m looking for or with other options I don’t want.
Do you guys think BLIS is worth it?

I havent towed with my truck yet, but I have the standard mirrors on my Lariat and they have a big blind spot in them up close to the truck. The BLIS is very helpful there. Back by where a trailer would be, I have no problem seeing other cars. I would imagine tow mirrors would be even better.

Wow... I didn't realize that. Thanks so much! I guess that makes it a little easier for me since I've haven't seen the BLIS with trailer option available. I guess I'll do without unless I find that specific option. Thank you

Nope it is not worth it in my opinion. I have been towing and backing up for well let’s just say a long time. I find using my mirrors and the spots work far better then a little yellow dot in my mirror. If the trailer is wider then the truck tow mirrors are a must. If not then the regular mirrors work pretty good if set correct.
I have a platinum with bliss and don’t pay attention to it, I just watch and see what is going on.
As as for a good add would be the backup camera to help hook up the trailer. After that it is useless to me.
