Sorry for the slow reply, just got back from vacation. We carry these tow mirrors which would allow you to retain your factory power fold switch.
They include power, heat, memory, power fold. They do not include a puddle light, they come pre-wired so that the side marker acts as your puddle light. This can also be changed. This kit includes two leads that plug into the brown wire which feeds the side marker, you can tap the lead into your turn signal circuit, or your parking light circuit. So there one of three ways they'll operate.
Hope this helps you out.

I pick up a set of these towing mirror. I currently have the non power fold max tow mirrors on my 2013 xlt. I bought the mirrors with the included wiring harness to make power fold work. I read through the entire thread on of to make the running lights work.
My questions is, instead of running a hot tap from the BCM. Could I just run a fuse tap from the parking light fuse and splice the diodes into pin 11 on both mirrors? I am installing the raptor grill lights as well and I plan running the lead wire into the fuse tap as well. Any thoughts on this?

I tried a fuse tap to the parking lamp circuit on my 2010 XLT when I installed these mirrors, but unfortunately that caused the running lights on the mirrors to stay on all the time. Check the parking lamp fuse on your 2013 and see if it is always hot. Since mine was, I ended up splicing into the parking lamp circuit wire next to the fuse box and every thing works great.

So there one of three ways they'll operate. They come pre-wired to the puddle light circuit. You should be able to just use the supplied leads and butt connectors to get a feed off the circuit that you would like.
A test light, will also help you to find the circuit that you're looking for.

Hi tony I have a 2011 f150 I need power fold,heated,memory tow mirrors . My question is do you have rear facing markers? And is there a kit for plug and play telescoping function with the factory switch and bezel? I think I know the answer to the telescoping question just granted to make sure.
Thanks for your time

I need a bit of help on the tow mirrors, I have a 2012 F150 Platinum with the non-tow mirrors that have - Mem, heated, pwr fold, puddle, auto dim (don't think I missed anything) but I want a pair of the power fold tow mirrors. I know that I will lose some features (auto dim, puddle lamp) but according to 1ATony, he is not sure if any of his will work as he has not tried to replace any with the auto dim feature (yes, I know I will lose it). Has anyone replaced the mirrors on a Platinum?, if so which part number did you order.
Any help is appreciated, I have read most of this thread but have not seen an answer to this.

F150 Power Fold Tow Mirrors are in the works
Received my mirrors today. Started at 11:00 pm done at 12:05. Wired for turn signals and running drl lights. Thanks for all the great info in the thread. I have a whistle on the passenger side but I'll try to take that tomorrow.

Looking for some advice
Hi Tony, I have a 2014 F-150 FX4. I have the stock mirrors that have power mirror adjust, power fold, puddle light, signal light, and memory. I've seen that most of the options for upgrades to trailer tow mirrors don't have the power fold option. Do you have an option that has the power fold option that will work with the options that I have?

These mirrors are power fold with memory. They are not auto dim, the side marker acts as the puddle light does.
The kit comes with two pigtails and a couple of but connectors, so you can tap the side marker into the running light circuit or the turn signal circuit if you wish to change it.
Hope this helps you out.

I haven't heard of any issues (yet) from no auto dim. Maybe someone can chime in.
