I have the same ****'s on my '01 F-150, and they're OK, but they do vibrate more than I'd like. They do see down the side of the trailer fairly well, but I'm hesitant getting them for the new truck.
Just curious, are your stock mirrors power, heat,t/s, and manual fold. I notice you don't have the spots. I'll have to look at mine again, they just seem to be shaped differently.

I really like those Ksource mirrors and they allow all the original mirrors functions to work properly. Don't shake, don't scratch the back of the mirrors, and look OEM when they are on. They let me see down the sides of the trailer very well.
Happy to have them.

I bought the K-source Snap & Zap towing mirrors from etrailer.com and I couldn't be happier with them. Easy Install, clear view.

Until around February, 2016, not even the manual XL tow mirrors were available in the Accessories catalog for the 2015-up F-150. But continue watching that catalog and you'll probably first see the XLT version in a few weeks, then the Lariat version in a few months. http://accessories.ford.com/exterior...ror-11225.html
Well, I guessed wrong. I posted the above on April 10th, and today (July 2nd) the only tow mirror kits available for 2015-up F-150 in the accessories catalog are the manual-everything XL tow mirrors (manual glass, manual folding, manual telescoping).

K Source Mirrors
Thanks Scot for the pics of your KSource mirrors. I've got the ****'s on my '01, and just not liking the way they vibrate. Hopefully the KSource are better...

Can either of you who have the KSource post how they go on? I understand that they snap on but how do they snap on so that they are tight? See them on Amazon for $50...thinking about going with these instead of the **** this time.

KSource Mirrors
Looks like the only place that has the '16 F-150 mirrors from KSource is etrailer.com and their price is pretty good. Since the clip-on's don't have a spot mirror, I may buy a little round spot mirror to add to the outboard mirror. I'll post a pic when I get the mirrors set up.

Go to the etrailer.com website and look for the KSource mirrors and they have a review and installation video. Excellent and very easy to follow. Probably doesn't take 10 minutes to put the pair on the truck.

Be careful. I got mine from etrailer and the mirrors came in their original box, not double boxed, and it was destroyed and taped all back together.
BTW, I really like the mirrors.
