Default Towing Mirrors

I just picked up a travel trailer. I am towing with a 2005 Supercrew. Do you guys have any suggestions for towing mirrors, both clip on or actual replacement?

Thanks!

Go with the OEM ones, They are hands down the best.

I went with them and love them.

those mirrors are fine if you got deluxe mirrors in your truck, otherwise a bunch of wiring is involved.

IMO those mirrors wreck any truck's image, but that's just me..i got slip on mirrors for when i tow, on only when i need them

I agree that they do look a tad bit big but the visibility is worth it 100% IMO.

I actually don't tow alot, but I do like the idea of the OEM mirrors. What did they run?

I am also curious which clip-on mirrors people are using...links?

I tow my boat alot and so I have been looking at these OEM mirrors lately.. And ATOM, you can get theses mirrors from the dealer in a manual version...


Motorace--- the cheapest I have found so far is $136 a piece.
