Tow mirrors & Lariat
Are the tow mirrors body colored on Lariat non-sport, non-chrome package trucks? Or are they all plastic skull caps?
Love the tow mirrors but like the colored standard side mirrors. Also, anyone live with both? If I tow twice per month I wonder if I'd be happier without them? I do love in in SoCal so spots can be tight. |
I have a non sport non chrome lariat and mine are black plastic. My truck is Tuxedo Black but the mirrors are not the same black color. I don't tow at all but I love the visibility of them. Blind spot mirrors are helpful as well to me. Also the fact that they power fold make it easy to park in tight places.

I have a lariat sport and hardly ever tow but this truck was on the dealer lot and had everything else I wanted to figured what the heck. I'm 50/50 on them. They are big. I usually fold them in when going down a tight 2 Lane road. Two pickups with tow mirrors passing = bad results. I also park my truck in a standard 2 car garage so I have to fold them in every day. It's really not a big deal but if I had to do it over I would probably not get them. Even when I tow it's only a small utility trailer so they're not needed anyways.

I have a Lariat FX4 and the tow mirrors are black plastic, not body color. I pulled mine off though and put standard body color mirrors on. I drove with the tow mirrors for the first 1500 miles or so and didn't have an issue in parking spots, but I tended to power fold them in. If you're looking for a set, mine are up for sale.

Thanks. I figured you guys would convince me to get them, but surprised most think otherwise.
I like the super duty look it gives the f150 though. |
I'm planning to order mine with the tow mirrors as I too like the look of them.
I only tow my boat maybe once a month so it is really just about the looks for me. I also think the mirrors will just perform better for everyday driving. I can't see how they could not. Plus they have the blind spot mirror at the bottom. That along with the BLIS system would seem about as safe a setup as you can get. I figure it will just become second nature to hit the fold button as I exit the vehicle. I understand those who don't like the look, but am I wrong in thinking that they perform better for everyday driving?? |

I put them on mine. I can not go without the extra visibility - especially the wide angle mirror!
Use Forscan to fold them in when turning the truck off. |
