Correction: if I'm towing without big tow mirrors, I'm not hauling a toy hauler or a camper, I'm actually doing something manly like towing a tractor....



Or dumping ****....



...or getting ready to dig a big hole.



All easily handled by my effeminate, standard-size, power-folding mirrors.

Some of us use our 5.5' beds. I personally like the look. And the shorter wheelbase is better off road.

So my truck can be called girly and a garage queen because it sits comfortably inside next to the wife's car with room to spare? (w/tow mirrors not folded in)

Years ago I used to drive a rollback for a living, it was my take home truck that I used for all my daily errands, and shopping. After being used to a truck with a 21' bed as a daily driver with mirrors bigger then my current max tow ones driving a tiny F-150 with towing mirrors is like driving a Mini Cooper.

I love the look/functionality of these mirrors

I saw these type of mirrors on my last trip to the dealer. Power fold, power extend, heated, turn signals on the outside. They look just like the 250's. I so wish someone would make them aftermarket as they are going to run around 1400.00 from a dealer of parts retailer.

I honestly would have probably not pulled the trigger on the 2013 F150 until I saw that it was available with the Super Duty Tow mirrors. I have not towed anything since purchase, I use it to haul. The Tow mirrors are there for safety for me. Often times in my previous vehicles I had close calls because I could not see the low profile vehicle on the passenger side. With the tow mirrors, i can see everything in the blind spots. Another reason I got the truck with the tow mirrors is because I have small kids. I dont even want to think about What if...kids are kids.

Default Mirror upgrade

I heard these mirrors increase your towing capacity by 1000lbs, generate an additional 10HP and 20ft.Lb. of tq....However the disclaimer says I should see a Doctor for an erection lasting for more than 4 hours....any advice?
