Default Add on tow mirrors (2015)

Just wondering what everyone is using for aftermarket add on tow mirrors on 2015's...

I have the CIPAA ones for my 2011 but it does not look like they make anything for 2015+ yet?

I asked about that at the dealers. They wanted $1100.00 for telescoping mirrors. I picked up some strap ons for about $35.00 and works fine. they do jiggle a bit while driving but just only need them for backing in with the camper.

I have been using the Prime Products Xtra-Large clip-on tow mirrors with my Sport Trac, and dislike having to put them on, remove them, and adjust them. While they work well, I am looking forward to having the power-fold and extend/adjust 2016 F150 towing mirrors. Why wouldn't you have purchased a truck with tow mirrors if you knew you were going to be towing?

Look into JR Products' Aero Tow Mirrors. A little pricey, but I got a set for our '15 XLT with standard mirrors and they are great. Very stable at 65 mph, easy to take on/off once adjusted, and very good view down sides of our wide body Airstream. Ditto on no ****'s yet, but once I tried these, I'll not go back.

Because like many others, I bought a truck that was on the lot which ends up being a bit of a compromise. Having the dumbo mirrors or not was not a deal breaker, I have a set of strap on mirrors hanging in my garage that worked just fine for 3 years before I bought the slide on mirrors. I won't be towing until at least April so I'm looking for options.

I am sure I should have bought a truck with the factory TBC as well but again, the truck on the lot did not have one and I have an aftermarket unit that is being swapped over (although if the factory one is $150 and they'll install it without charging labor rather than swapping over the other one, I may just go that route).

Thanks for the input, I'll take a look into the options in the responses.
