Default tow mirror pics

I'm trying to decide if I want to replace my mirrors with the tow mirrors. I have 14 silver FX4 loaded with all power etc. power fold etc etc I am looking for pics of your trucks with tow mirrors. So lets see em




I kinda need them to see past my boat!!! And depends what I have on my gooseneck flatbed it can be hard to see past it as well. Just trying to see if its really worth it.

I don't have any pics specifically of the mirrors, but here's a couple anyway. First one showing how my factory ordered truck looks now and the second one provided by the dealer when it arrived in July 2014. Those mirrors are big suckers for sure, which require care pulling into and out of my garage. Wonderful for towing, though.

Nearly 3 yrs later, its rolled just 6200 miles since new...

They have great visibility once you get used to the two piece mirror. Unfortunately, they obstruct your view tremendously looking out the side windows and forward.

I just traded my F350 for an expedition, And going to use the F150 more towing now. So I'm somewhat use to the big mirrors, They just LOOK big on a 150

Gotta have my Swinging Pete tag!

If you came from an F350, you have to be hating the standard F150 mirrors!

They are A1 tow mirrors that i bought from a member on here and i wired them up as running lights, instead of just puddle. Here is a link with great info. https://www.f150forum.com/f37/2007-2...-power-273194/

Just put them on my 2011. Hard to get use too imo, but once you are use to them its awesome. Backing up at night is still a challenge sometimes with tinted windows lol. Only thing is I wish I got the power fold..but these have every other option and for the price I got them I cannot complain!!
