I had to order my 2014 max tow up here in British Columbia to get exactly what I needed. Took 10 weeks to get it. As far as the tow mirrors go, this is the first time I've had them and I'll never own another truck without them. I love the look of them as well as functionallity.

Yup. I special ordered my 2013, back in 2012 (from Booby at Sunrise Ford).
Once I saw the ads showing that you can get an F150 with the Super Duty mirrors, i was sold. Still, I have glanced the local dealer sites to see if anyone had an FX4 with MAX for sale since that was what i wanted. The order guide was not clear at the time that you could order a 2013 FX4 with the max Tow.....
I still glance in case by some miracle a ruby red Fx4 with a 6.2, lux, pack, and max tow happened to appear...
Pipe Dream: if the Raptor (or future Raptor) would have had the max tow mirrors I would be at the dealer right now with a bag o cash to buy.

They are even harder to fund used. When we were looking when one would pop up it was gone in a matter of days. Especially the more loaded ones that the dealer advertised Max Tow!
I lucked into mine - the dealer didn't have it listed as max tow and the owner had the mirrors swapped for the regular ones. But the online window sticker (as well as the one he left in the glove box) said it did indeed have Max Tow. So we scooped it up!

Looks like I might have to buy my lease out if I can't find a 2014 with the same specs.
Would really like to have the Power Fold for the Big mirrors ( which are great, even when I'm not towing).
Will have to keep searching the dealers across the states.
If only I could put it in my shopping cart on Amazon.

When i bought my 2011 fx4 a couple months ago i didn't want the max tow with big mirrors. The only fully loaded eco fx4 with less very low mileage that I could find had the max tow, i had them certify it for the extra warranty and 1.9% financing and scooped it up.
Now I love the mirrors and would be overweight towing our new trailer without this package, very happy i ended up with it.
Funny thing is, now the regular mirrors don't look right to me. I love the truck when towing or running around to give customers estimates, look forward to driving this truck all the time!

What most sold me on tow mirrors are the large lower "blindspot" mirrors. I had some close call trying to see small, low profile vehicles that were hidden in the blind spot of our Sequoia. Even looking over some cars like Miata's, Vettes, etc. are below my field of vision. With the Tow mirrors, I can see them when I cant see them when I look over. Like everyone said once you get them or use them, you will not go back.
