Exclamation 2013 FX4 with powerfold wanting tow mirrors.

I have a 2013 F150 FX4, I have been spending hours on trying to find plug in play tow mirrors with the same features I have. Currently I have the standard size mirrors with power fold, front and back blinkers, puddle light and power adjustable mirror. All I want is to find a tow mirror with those exact features nothing more. I have found some on 1A auto but they have heat and are power telescoping as well. I contacted me and they give their same answer about how the truck needs to have the same features stock for their mirrors to work. I would buy those if I knew that all the other stuff would work fine, I don't care for the power telescoping or heat. From my research is seems like the plug that is in the Side view mirror is the same in all the trucks in these model years but the wires going in and out are different giving different features (please correct me if I am wrong). So technically i could buy those ones from 1A auto and everything should work minus the things that I don't already have. Please help with finding this.

If you have Powerfold Mirrors you have Heat and if you want tow Mirrors with the Powerfold you have to get the heat, turn signal, powerfold and power telescoping and then you need to replace the switch and rewire them to work.
Just so you know those are the mirrors that are about $1800 from Ford and only available for the 13-14 model year as factory

If you buy those 'ultimate' mirrors from 1A, everything you want should work PnP. There are 2 lights on the outside of the mirror, visible from the front and back. One of them is turn signal, the other you can wire to what you want. It should be a separate wire that you would have to attach how you want. They do that so you can pick it as another turn signal, puddle lamp, or running light. The only thing you would need to do major work for is the power telescoping since you don't have a switch for that.

1A used to sell exactly what you want, I have them on my truck. They no longer do, they replaced it with the power telescope model.

Also note that aftermarket passenger side mirrors do not seem to offer 'objects in mirror are closer' at all. You get a straight mirror like on the driver's side. Have to use the lower convex mirror to see anything useful.

Seperate Switch for the Power extent and some rewiring.
Here is a Power Fold Tow mirror Thread that has everything in it you need
