I love these. They work fantastic for daily driving, but are even better w/ a trailer hooked up. They weren't too expensive. Look on ebay for them. The 2003 and up are different and will NOT fit your truck!

They are around 200 for a set on ebay (new).

Good luck.
Any more ?'s just ask!

I agree. Great mirrors. One thing you can depend on, if the mirrors don't touch anything, the trailer behind you is clear, that is as long as your straight when you enter them tight spots.

Check out Geno's Garage, that's where I found mine. They're 10" x 10", work good.

Horse Hauler... I think I'm going to put one on the outside and connect it to a turnsignal.

I agree that if your mirrors clear it, the trailer will, just make sure you're straight!

Bottom line, Great mirros and if you get these and it saves you one time of clipping a car, post, whatever, it'll be more than worth it!

200 ain't bad. Good thing too, my driver side isn't so tight and won't stay in place.

The cross arms are 8'1" wide and the mirrors are wider than that when open.

I assume you're talking about the replacement mirrors and not the slip on extenders. My buddy has the extenders and complains about the vibration.

I just put a set on my '99. Electric/heated to replace the dinky stock mirrors. I haven't towed with them yet, but what a HUGE difference in visibility. Took 'em up to about 75 mph, and no vibration. They weren't cheap at $369 to my door (Geno's Garage) but I think it was money well spent.

I have the Geno's ***** as well. Power with heat. The passenger side mirrir could come in just a TAD more. But otherwise I'm quite happy. Very easy install and WAY better visability.

I found a pair for about $150 plus shipping, yes they are the replacement ones, not the slip over ones. So I might go that way, thanks for the info.

I've got a set and don't like them at all, autopartswarehouse has the factory sets and they are much cheaper
