Default Tow Mirrors

I've been wanting to add some tow mirrors to my 2015 Screw. The originals are power adjust, have the turn indicator and are heated. I know I can get the from Ford but was wondering if there was a good alternative that's less the OEM prices.

Boost Auto are what a lot of people like. Aftermarket, cheaper, but just about oem quality. You can pick exact features you want.

I second Boost Auto tow mirrors. They're OEM quality at far lower price, and you can fully customize them when ordering. Don't waste your money on eBay or Amazon tow mirrors that cost less, you will be disappointed. I bought some cheaper ones on Amazon and they were cheaply made and the glass vibrated while driving, making the image blurry. I replaced them with Boost Auto tow mirrors and couldn't be happier: https://boostautoparts.com/collections/ford-tow-mirrors

I run the boost auto mirrors on my truck. I did a review of them on my YouTube channel. I've been very happy with them for the many years I've owned them!

I'm running these that I got from Amazon:
Amazon Amazon
For a shade over 50 bucks, I've been very happy with them. They have a little window for the turn signal light. They look like they belong on the truck, unlike those clunky strap-on things. No vibration and good visibility down the side of the trailer. They snap on and off very easily. I leave them off when I'm not towing because I can't fit the truck through the garage door with them on. The only down side is you have to adjust the position of the glass by hand.

The tow mirrors have far better visibility over the snap ons and also extend. We tow the camper 3000 miles Florida and back and the tow mirrors are beyond worth it.

Those snap on mirror extenders suck compared to dedicated tow mirrors. I tried them and never again.

YMMV, obviously. I've towed my travel trailer around 10,000-12,000 miles with the snap on mirrors, and they've met my needs well without having to spend hundreds of dollars.

Another +1 for the Boost Auto Parts mirrors. I had the cheap Amazon mirrors before and they rattled and shook so I couldn't see anything. The Boost mirrors are solid.

I have had and seen many stock mirrors broken by other trucks too close when passing. Last driver's mirror cost them $560.. about 6 months ago. Probably a grand now.
