The tow mirrors are made very well. If you would like to post your year/make model and the options that your mirror currently has, I can see what we might have for you.

Hmmm, wonder why my signature isn't showing up...

Anyway, 2013 F-150 XLT Supercrew with Ecoboost and short bed. The mirrors are listed as power & heated. They do not have power folding but can be manually folded.

Those will work on your truck. They worked on my 2011 and I have used them on my 2013.

Not an add on but last week I upgraded my 2011 Lariat mirrors to the factory tow mirrors I purchased from Tasca Ford, my regular drivers mirror was clipped by a passing vehicle.

I will never go back to regular mirrors.

I have yet to tow my trailer but I can see everything from my drivers door handle to a car two lanes over in my blind spot, definitely worth the upgrade.

With the Tow mirrors I lost my mirror memory and auto dim and gained puddle lights, for a few dollars more you can get the memory.

Again, very pleased with the factory tow mirrors and will always opt for them when purchasing a new truck.

Installing only took about 5 minutes per side by removing the door panels. Totally plug and play, puddle light work just by plugging the harnesses in.

That being said, if anyones looking for PTM Skull Caps Tri Coat Pearl White on the regular mirrors, let me know!

+1 for the Factory Tow Mirrors, aka Dumbos. Even when not towing, I love the big convex bottom part. Especially useful since the Lear cap obscures the view of my rear corners.

I currently do not have any mirrors listed as fitting an application that is that new. Thanks for the reply. Tony

Any vendors our there have factory style tow mirrors (extendable, not clip on) for a 02 Screw????? Loved the aftermarket ones I put on my 03 reg cab, really want to find some for my SCREW.

Thanks
