Okay, I need input from ANYONE and EVERYONE who even opens this. I really can't decide. I plan on replacing the OEM mirrors with heated and turn signal. I am stuck between tow mirrors or standard with the convex corners. Either set of mirrors would be from 1Aauto as they have good prices, there is NO way I'm shelling out the the price for OEM ones. I don't care for power fold or extend, I mean I drive and STX. So my question is what do you think would look better?

or
Tow: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Mirrors/Ford/F150-Truck/1AMRP01054/655109/2013
Thank you for the input. Also I should add that on either set I will PTM the cap. Also I don't tow much at all, but I do own a 25' car hauler flat trailer that I use sometimes in the summer to load my quads on.

I agree, once you go tow mirrors impossible to go back. My first experience with tow mirrors were my old '05 Ram, 2500 Cummins.
I loved them on that truck, but hated how they were either fully extended "flipped out" or in the standard position.
Then I got an '08 Chevy 2500 HD 6.0 gasser with oem Tow mirrors. Really liked those better than the Dodge versions, they are very similar to the '09-'12 Ford Tow mirrors.
Then I got my '11, Ford F-150 with standard mirrors, always felt like I couldn't see around it with the tiny mirrors standard style. I later added the oem Tow mirrors and was much happier.
Fast forward to current truck, '13 FX4, EcoScrew, Max Tow. These power fold & extend are my favorites yet, and totally worth the extra. Like others have said I cannot go back to non tow style mirrors on a truck after having them.

Depends on what you're going for. If you're going strictly for looks, get the non-tow. They look much better. If you're going for the purpose of being able to see better, then get the tow mirrors.

I had tow on my 08 and loved them. They made tight parking and stuff so much easier. I find that I really miss the passenger side having a convex mirror. Also I fixed the links
