I have a 1999 Mazda B2500 Double Cab 4 x 4, and due to the length of the vehicle reversing has always been an issue.
Has anyone else found this to be a problem, and what was the solution?
It seems very difficult to judge the rear of the vehicle with the load bed extending well beyond the double cab.
I am thinking of a reversing alarm of some sort?
I don't use the truck that much, so maybe I need practice, or am I just a crap driver?
Any thoughts or ideas?
Cheers

Should be straightforward to wire up an alarm beeper in parallel with the reverse light switch.

More challenging might be a rear view camera.

 

Ah not so simple though, because you need to have the sensors to pickup when you are getting close to an object behind you and give you a warning beep before you hit it. A simple reversing beeper, like fitted to the trucks would be no good.

You need an aftermarket back-up camera! Not sure if you can get an aftermarket model that will "sense" when you get close to an object or not.......but you can Google it!
