I bought universal-fit towing mirror extensions (Prime Products - 30-0096XL) for use while towing the camper. They were a pain to adjust each time they were added, but provided an economical solution. So far with a year's use they haven't shown any wear on my body-color mirror bodies, and stay on well. They will be retired when my 2015 arrives later this year with the power extend/fold tow mirrors.

I have a 2013 F150 XLT with Max Tow Package and I'm currently looking to downsize to the standard mirrors. I have to fold a mirror in and out everyday to park in my garage, and I don't tow enough to need them. Maybe we can work out a trade?

I just installed a set of the A1Auto Power Folding Tow Mirrors. They do not power telescope, but can be extended out by hand. Ones I got did not have memory on them, but they do offer them with it. If you do not have power folding mirrors they sell the upgrade kit that includes all the wiring, switch, and marker light setup. Since mine is an XLT, I went with the upgrade kit. Look and work really well. I changed out the clear marker lights with the amber style for more of an OEM look.

Just ordered a 2016 Open Range LT272RLS and need to get the truck ready to tow it when it comes in in June.
Bought the F150 used and according to the window sticker the original owner left in the glove box and the Ford site, I have the Max Tow package. Somewhere along the line the previous owner put on the standard mirrors.
So I need some tow mirrors - not sure if I can go with the clip on style or splurge on the direct replacements. The OEM units are out of the question at $1k! The features I like about the ones on there are the heated glass and the dimming glass on the drivers side. Anything out there that can duplicate that for a reasonable price?
Any recommended clip ons?
