Power Folding Trailer Mirrors?

Power Folding Trailer Mirrors?
Do they exist? I know you can order power folding regular mirrors as an option, but what about power folding trailer towing mirrors? I have the big-*** mirrors on my truck and wish I could fold them without getting out each time I want to go to the freakin ATM, car wash, or park where it's not "full-size truck friendly"...

Retired and loving it!
Thanks for asking this -- I was thinking the same thing....I haven't towed anything with my new F150 yet, but I wonder (when the mirrors are extended fully) if I will even fit in one lane next to another truck.....and I have to get out every time I pull into or out of our garage to tuck in the one on the passenger side....kind of a pain, you know?
I won't have to do this when I retire and lose the company car in 8 months though!!

Bye F150, hello F250
If I recall, the F250's have power scoping mirrors, nothing foldable.
I tow a 30'fter 5th wheel and have the standard mirrors. I added the **** 11010 (I think) extensions. With those on, as they are just slide on, I can still power fold my mirrors at the drive throughs, and the extensions fold nicely in as well. I have been in a couple places where this came in real handy!! Its not the solution for everyone, but mine did not have the larger mirrors, and since I only tow that trailer maybe 10-15 times a year, it's a good work-around.

you can get power folding mirrors on the F250... I thought I read the platinum and KR F150 had them as an option but talking with Josh at Tasca there are no F150 power folding mirrors... only on SDs

For the 250's, from the 2011 brochure, I can only see that 'power scoping' mirrors, on the KR package. Not foldable.

The OP was referring to power folding "trailer mirrors". The big ones. To my knowledge the power folding mirrors on the KR and Platinum are the standard mirrors. I have a friend with a F250 that has power folding trailer mirrors but I am fairly certain that this was not an option on the '09 and '10 F150's.

I went to the ATM for the first time in the truck the other day. I pulled up, minded my driver mirror and completed my transaction. It wasn't until I was about to drive away that I noticed that my pass mirror was 3/8" from hitting a yellow pilon! I had the wife fold it in and we managed to not do anything.
