power folding mirrors F150 2011
Got a new house with a tight squeeze into the garage.
Turns out I need to fold the mirrors in first before pulling in.
I was thinking about getting some of those mirrors that fold in at the touch of a button.
Can anyone recommend a website to check out to make sure I get the right ones? They do have power for the tilt and pan function already.
Currently the ones on them look like the ones below. I know this site is just referencing the chrome cover, but you get the idea.
Any help would be really appreciated...

Well, I'm no expert on this but since no one else has replied I'll do my best to answer your question.
As far as where to get your mirrors from, I think most people would concur that if you want to go the OEM route, buy through Tasca Parts, and if you want to go the aftermarket route, buy through 1AAuto (or try to find new takeoffs from EBay).
The bigger question is if your truck is currently wired for power folding mirrors. Just because it is power adjust does not mean it has the wiring for power fold built in, and putting power folding mirrors on a truck not already wired for power fold unfortunately won't do any good.
Post up some specs on your truck (year and trim level) and we'll try to figure out if it's wired for power fold. I'm guessing probably not if it doesn't already have power folding mirrors...at which point you could wire it for power fold (there is a thread on here about how to do that) depending on your electrical skills/bravery.
Hope this helps.
