Tasca offers them and you can buy them at the dealer. They may say that they won't fit because they were only offered on the 2008s (my dealer told me this) but they do.
Search around for details on part numbers and how to install

AKCowboy is right about the dealer giving you funny looks. Mine did. Just give him the part numbers and make sure he is looking under the "telescoping towing mirrors" and not the "accessory towing mirrors" (2 different categories and mirrors).
And I was the one that posted pics/part numbers after the install I just did. They hook right up, just have to run the leads for the turn signals since I didnt have that before. Check my album for pics, cuz its late and I'm too tired to post them here. I got mine from the dealer for 305 + tax and was there the next day. I think you can get them for a bit cheaper if you looked, but I wanted them NOW and was willing to pay the extra to get them then. I must say I don't know how I drove my truck for 4 yrs without these on. Well I do, but its so much easier now.

I have heard rumors of 1mpg loss, maybe 2mpg. But honestly, the view area I am gaining with those concave mirrors are well worth any mpg (I mean, I didnt buy the truck with MPG's in mind, otherwise I would have gotten a lil 4 banger toyoda). With me only having these on 5 days, its hard to say.

I haven't noticed any drop in mpg, though I'm averaging around 12 right now.
It took a couple days to get used to them, but they are amazing! Being able to see your rear bumper and rear tires really help backing up. I haven't had a chance to tow with them yet, but I'm looking forward to it
