Default Adding towing mirrors

I am looking at replacing the stock mirrors on my 2023 XLT. I do not have heated mirrors, but the mirrors I am looking at do. Is it possible to do this with the existing wire harness? If so, where would the switch for this go on the dashboard? Any help/recommendations is much appreciated.

If you currently have a rear window with defrost when you install the heated mirrors that is how you side mirrors will turn on with that button

If you don't need a wider view for most of your driving, consider KSource mirrors as an alternative. They offer temporary mirrors for most trucks. I use them during boating season when I need a better view for backing down the ramp. One caution is that I had to turn the auto folding mirror option off because the mirrors didn't fold completely and that caused the mechanism to continue its attempt to fold against the window. Overall, I am happy with the results and the reduced cost and effort compared to installing new mirrors.
