Systems and methods for a rear-viewing camera system for a vehicle. A first camera is mounted on the vehicle with a field of view that is at least partially obstructed by a tailgate of the vehicle and/or a load carried by the vehicle. A second camera is mounted on the vehicle with a field of view that includes an unobstructed view of an imaging area that is obstructed in the field of view of the first camera. A tailgate position sensor is configured to output a signal indicative of a current position of the tailgate of the vehicle. By determining a position of the tailgate, an electronic controller is configured to generate an output image in which the tailgate and/or the load appear at least partially transparent by replacing image data that is obstructed in the image captured by the first camera with image data captured by the second camera.
