Towing Mirrors

Hmmm. Just wondering, why don't you like the Dodge fold-out mirrors? They beat the heck out of the Ford slide-outs, and those silly extenders from Pep Boys are a complete waste of time. I think Dodge has the best combination mirror system out there.

i agree with PCarnathan i love the dodge tow mirrors, the only part i like about those mirrors that you just gave a link to is the LED Lights... i wish dodge could find a way to put some clearence lights and turn signals on our mirrors... also i would take a fold out to a slide out mirror any day... but not to totally ignore your question.... those mirrors (www.ttt-mirror.com) look like the best aftermarket ones ive seen yet...

I would do a search on ebay and you will find factory flip outs much cheaper than the local dodge house, one vendor that sells on ebay is a dodge dealer and he sells them for about $100 to $150 cheaper than any dodge house I have found, don't know why but he has sold several sets in the last month or so. I bought mine from him for $175 shipped to my door, from him and have sent two other customers to him with excellent results, now if I can just find his ebay name I will get it to you. Goodluck,,Rick

i have to say i love the stock towing mirrors. If the price is right you should give them some serious consideration.

That would describe me perfectly! I like how they look folded out, plus my 2nd gen tow mirrors aren't power or heated, so readjusting them is a pain. So I leave them out all the time instead!!

I've been impressed with the factory fold-outs!

WHen I first got my truck...I remember thinking "those mirrors will probably loosen up and start vibrating within 40,000 miles". Happy to report I was wrong. Still as solid as day 1.
Well done Dodge!

I just finished installing 3rd gen power,heated factory tow mirrors on my second gen.truck.I had to buy 2nd gen.and 3rd gen mirrors to make the swap.I already had stock power and heated mirrors.It took about 8 hours to do the swap but well worth the money and hassle.
