I have the TT mirrors and love them. I can't imagine pulling a wide cargo or TT without these mirrors. Since you have the SLT get the powered version, should plug right in.

Mine have some wiggle to them when they are extended. Also wish they were a bit wider. Other than that they are great.

I just swapped mine over about a month ago (there's a thread on here somewhere) and wish I had done it a lot sooner! They're really great mirrors.

The only catch is that after driving your little mirrors for the past however long you've had your truck, your sight picture will be very different and you'll have to spend a little time learning the new one. Once you do, you'll love them.

Takes about an hour tops to swap them out - very easy job. Get the power/heated ones, you'll regret not having them and as has been pointed out, it's just a plug and play swap with an SLT, since your mirrors are already powered and heated.

My truck came with the small mirrors. Couldnt see well hauling travel trailer. My dealer sold me a set of the big boys. I think I paid $315. They were very easy to install. It took about 15 minutes to do both of them. If you haul anything at all , you will want these mirrors.

I have them and last time I towed I forgot to flip them out and I could still see just fine. These are great! Some people complain about the placement of the convex mirror when you have the mirrors flipped in but I like them....

Go with the Dodge TT mirrors. The only downside is that do not have any type of clearance or turn signal lamps on them.
I think I'm going to add some to mine or atleast find a new pair to mod that way if I mess up I have a onther set to install

Question. when you flip them out and adjust them (power type), is up still up? Or since they swivel 90 degress, is up now left and down is right, or do they know when they are swiveled and up is always up?
