A camera monitoring system (CMS) for a vehicle includes a camera mounted to a tractor and configured to record images that depict a trailer attached to the tractor, an electronic display configured to display the images, and a CMS controller. The CMS controller is operatively connected to the camera and electronic display and is configured to determine whether a trailer angle of the trailer exceeds a jackknife warning threshold based on a depiction of the trailer in the images; and based on a particular one of the images indicating a trailer angle above the jackknife warning threshold, provide a jackknife warning. A method for preventing jackknifing between a vehicle and a trailer is also disclosed.
