A trailering assist system includes a receiving device disposed at an equipped vehicle and a trailer camera at a rear of a trailer. When the vehicle is towing the trailer, the trailer camera captures image data and a transmitter at the trailer wirelessly communicates captured image data to the receiving device at the equipped vehicle. The receiving device at the equipped vehicle receives the communicated image data and a display device in the equipped vehicle displays video images derived from the received image data. When another vehicle is towing the trailer, a controller at the trailer determines that the other vehicle is towing the trailer and the transmitter attempts to wirelessly communicate with another receiving device. Responsive to establishing wireless communication with the other receiving device, the transmitter transmits trailer identification information to the other receiving device.
