I've made 2 round trips, 400 miles each, since I stuck my OEM mirrors back on. Now all this was on the lie-o-metre, but it appears I picked up about .5mpg. Not scientific at all, but that's what I'm seeing.

 

Thanks for the input. Not terrible, but not great either. I wonder if you buy a truck with stock tow mirrors if the MPG on the window sticker is any different than the sticker on a similarly equipped truck without the tow mirrors?

How come you put the OEM mirrors back on?

 

I guess I'm one of the few that thought they're over rated. It seemed I had a blind spot on the right side, I didn't have with my aero mirrors. And since I don't use the 150 as a tow pig, it was an easy decision. I like the idea of the right mirror being flat,opposed to convex, but even the convex mirror on the bottom left a bit to be desired. I almost put a round stickon mirror on, then just decided I liked the aero mirrors better and switched them out.
LOL, just to lend some credence to my thought, I drove heavyhaul previous to 4/15 when I retired, so it ain't like I don't know how to use mirrors!

 

I go back and forth. With the convex mirror on the right side being as small as it is, it is harder to back up my trailer. I have gotten used to them but I think unless you have a trailer that is wide, the benefit isn't there.

 

To be honest, I was going more for looks. The only thing I tow is my little 13' classic Boston Whaler Sport so my current mirrors are MORE than adequate. It's great to get feedback from those that have/had them.

 

No problem at all.
As a side note; I sold mine to a guy that had an 11th gen. I told him I wasn't sure they'd work. He sent me a photo a day or two later, and they bolted right up.

 

I have a set of stock platinum mirrors power with puddle lights directional lights and power in and out if someone wants to trade for trailer tow with heat and slide in and out

 

I got mine off ebay from am-autosports $137 + free shipping. It took a while to get used to them and making sure you don't knock them off going through a drive through.

 

I have after market tow mirrors on my 2014 XL w/ 16 pin plug but the blinker and puddle lights don't work even though the truck is wired for it, and couldn't find a missing fuse on either fuse panel. Any one have this problem?

 

Did you know that you can buy the ford mirrors for 280$ and they are garented to work as long as you already have power mirrors they will swapp back and forth
