I would like to get some tow mirrors that don't cost $1000 for my new 2015 F1 50 does anyone have any ideas

 

I just bought a new 2010 and I am looking also. I've been primarily looking at eBay and Amazon and there is quite a selection. I've looked at a few well known web based auto parts stores such as A1 Auto, Auto Anything and Car Parts.com. I've even noticed that there are some advertisements for some mirrors on this web site.

I'm going to really take my time, make some phone calls and really make sure that I am going to get everything I need in a mirror.

My current mirrors are heated and they will electrically fold back. There are many replacement mirrors that will not. The descriptions that are given for these mirrors are sometimes quite vague.

What has helped me quite a lot was going to You Tube and doing a search on "F150 towing mirrors". I had found that one of the mirrors I was looking to buy had heaters and was capable of folding back electrically. I found a You Tube video that showed the installation (really pretty simple) but also stated that I would have to take my truck to a Ford dealership and have the computer reprogrammed (I really do not want to do that).

Another video focused on another mirror that would allow the mirror to fold back showed how you would have to bypass some of the trucks wiring and run additional wiring (poking holes in waterproof sleeving, running wires across door jams, etc.) in order to have full functionality. This was unacceptable to me.

So for the time being, I have purchased a pair of inexpensive but very attractive looking clip-ons (need to pull my camper for a destination about an 8 hour drive away). I feel that $50 is a cheap safety item that I can use until I find the more permanent mirrors that I am looking for... The Grizz

 

I bought a pair ofCIPA tow mirrors on Amazon for my '13. they slide on over the stock mirrors and work great and were inexpensive. I have used them locally and on a trip from Wi. to Co. and back.
