Garmin Backup Camera Compatiability
I would get a GPS that is compatible with one of Garmin's backup cameras.

RV 890
I've been using a Garmin RV 890 for 5 years now and it has been great for navigating while pulling my trailer. Lets me enter the dimensions of truck & trailer and takes them into consideration when creating routes. It also has a database of trailer friendly locations, like gas stations, restaurants, POI's, etc. It also switches to vehicle only mode when not trailering. I like the 8" screen, which is perfect for the dash of my pickup.
The RV 890 has been replaced by the newer 895 but carries a $600 price tag. There are many factory refurbished 890's available for half that price.
