Thumbs up Curious About Power-fold Tow Mirrors

I have seen that 1a Auto is offering the newer style tow mirrors that have the power-fold option. Has anyone tried them yet? I'm curious to see what people think and how they look on our generation of trucks. If anyone does have them could you post up some pics? I'm also curious about if they stick out as far as the older style of if that distance has changed. It would be sweet to finally be able to park in the tight areas without having to manually fold each side, I just don't want to invest that amount of money into something that may not be worth it.

I Know! I really want to see them on our generation before I pull the trigger. Power-fold is all ways a nice thing to have too, no more getting out to fold them to park it.

We've had really good luck with them, they're made well. If you have any questions, you can PM me too.

I don't have those exact ones but on the weekend I just installed their manual fold version. Mine have power for moving the mirror but that's it. No turn signals, puddle lamps, heaters, or power fold. But they do extend which I like for when I have my camper in the back or towing the boat. Mine were only $220 so much nicer on the wallet than those ones.

The probably would be the same size as the ones you posted. They stick out a helluva lot more than my stock mirrors. I fold both in now when I park so that cars/pedestrians don't hit them.

I just installed mine on the weekend so I'm not quite used to having the different mirror set up. The upper mirror on the passenger side is almost useless to me. I been using the lower convex mirror instead. Maybe it will just take some time to get used to them...

I currently have the older style on my truck and I love them, I just get tired of having to fold them almost everywhere I park. I saw the newer style power fold and would really like that convenience.
1A Tony, do you guys have any pictures of them on a 04-08 f150? I have already watched your install video, but would really like a good front view picture to see how they look compared to the older style.
