Default Towing mirror opinions ?

I have a 06 xlt 4x4, short bed and I'm wanting to get tow mirrors but don't want them to look to bulky. Opinions and suggestions would be great as I'm not trying to pay out the wozoo either. Thanks

people either love them or hate them, I love mine I got off A1 auto.com for about $230. but you always get guys with diesels that think they don't belong on half tons but I end up towing more then the majority of them anyways. so it's really personal I guess

I like the bulky look but I think it looks better with at least a level and oversized tires to finish off the look.

Another 1A Auto buyer that is satisfied with his tow mirrors.

As noted, you either love them or hate them. Not only do I love the look but the improved visibility even when not towing is huge. The world of difference when towing, far superior to my old slip on tow mirrors.

They're a huge help when towing a boat, camper, ski mobiles, utility trailers Etc.


Tow mirrors have come a long way since the old chrome ones you used to have to bolt to the door of your truck or car.


I remember my dad bolting those things to the doors of our Buick Wildcat as a kid that we towed a 19' camper with....lol
