I have both. Camera great for hooking up the trailer. Sensors great for normal backing.
But the wife still backed into a low hanging tree limb and dented the tail gate.

So you can add the OEM camera set up....Can you add the OEM sensors or is it an aftermarket?

^ That sucks but dang killed that mailbox lol
I had aftermarket cam on my 2010 left it on when I traded the truck and I miss it helps for the parking lots where you have todo 80 point turn to back out of spot but I guess the beepers would do the same but I have never had those.

I bought my truck with the sensors, and I made sure I found a truck that had the atleast the sensors. I then added the OEM backup camera, it cost more than the aftermarket backup cameras, but I like the fit and finish. And the camera is better than most aftermarket backup cameras.
I priced out both and it came out to be ~$500 each, but the camera was the cheaper and easier to install, so I would reccomend that. But like others say they work well together.
