Default Can I add a backup camera?

Can I add a camera to my tailgate? I have a 2013 ram sport with the 8.4 radio and locking tailgate. Are the wires already there so I can just put in the camera and have it flashed at the dealer? Has anybody done this?

My truck is a 2010 and it didn't have the wires to the tailgate, I ordered the replacement handle with the camera and the wiring harness and had it flashed at the dealer, it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't work with yours.
I ordered the factory camera, there were aftermarket options but others have had issues with them, my install was 3 yrs ago and still works great

I think I got mine from oemautopartsco.com, I've seen them on eBay as well and of course your dealer could hook you up
