What brand of tow vehicle do you have? Knowing will help with your question.

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 Sport and have tried the Fit System tow mirrors off Amazon but found that the mirror vibrates too much while driving making it unusable. Returned them and might consider the CIPA brand tow mirrors.

If you plan to do any towing, I would just replace the stock mirrors with OEM tow mirrors. You can sometimes find them on eBay at a good price.

Mine did that at first, but there is a provision to tighten them up (via small phillips screw). After that, rock solid.

I have the CIPA mirrors from Amazon on my '16 Silverado, and so far they have worked very well and stay steady.

I have a pair of those but upgraded to proper tow mirrors off Amazon. What a difference!

Not knowing the OP's truck model makes this a little harder, but if it is an F150, then Ford's OEM towing mirrors are his best bet. When I got mine, I just put the old ones on EBay and got most of the cost back. Both were purchased within a few hours after posting.

Good point Mike. I bought a set of towing mirrors for my daughter, she then sold the OEM mirrors for more than I paid for the towing mirrors.

When I was using my GMC 1500 to pull a TT I had a set of McKesh mirrors. Worked very well.

We replaced the mirrors on our 2004 GMC Dually to the towing mirrors. The truck had nice electric extending tow mirrors, but they were small. We doubled our view with the new ones, and got the heated feature to boot!

I bought ours on Amazon.

I highly recommend upgrading, well worth the money spent.

I have a set of towing mirrors from a 2000 Chevy not sure if they will fit your truck. They basically snap over the existing mirrors. If they would fit and you want I will give them to you.

When I had my 06 Silverado, I replaced my standard mirrors with the factory style replacement tow mirrors, like the ones in the link. They also make ones that are power, have the turn signal indicators, heated, etc. if that's what you want.

I had those same mirrors on my 03 and they work great for about 3 years then the electrical adjustment went bad on the passenger mirror. The driver mirror worked for another 5 years until I sold the truck. The telescoping feature allowed me to see completely around my BC. Good price compared to OEM.

Chevy OEM mirrors are crazy expensive, the knock offs are less than half the price. I will say the knock offs look the same but are not the same quality as OEM though.

I bought the CIPA mirrors at Camping World for my 2015 Chevy 2500HD.

They are great, except the passenger door side mirror isn't wide angle , so I had to buy a stick-on one, and now all is good!

That is kind of you, thank you. I see you are in Ohio. The mirrors I have look pretty basic. I definitely have to put my head out the window to look back.

Thank you. I'm wondering how hard it is to change mirrors. Can't be that difficult?

Thank you. If I double thanked you, sorry. Thread gets a little complicated for me sometimes. Sorry I missed these a few days back.

Thank you, heated mirrors, fancy! . Yes I will definitely need to. Visibility now is quite limited.

Thank you. Ebay has never been easy for me guess I should learn about that too if I start looking and selling!

Ok, thank you. What does OEM stand for?

Can you tell me how to add to my signature (or create one). Mine will not be very lengthy compared to most.

Hi Keith and Kim,

I would appreciate those mirrors if you aren't too far, I'm thinking they will fit as I have a '99 chevy. I'm located in Delaware, Ohio. How far are you? I will gladly come pick them up. Feel free to PM me to discuss.

Thank you,
Katy
