Is it Possible-Mirror Ideas?
Is it possible to add blind spot mirrors without going to with the tow mirrors? Im not a big fan of the tow mirrors, but I love the blind spot mirror on them. What I am looking for is a mirror like what is on the Escape and Explorer. They have a small convex mirror built into the regular mirror. I don't want to get those little stick on ones. Thank you for any ideas. See pic of what I am looking for:

Tow mirrors look great on the Beast. Paint the top to match your truck. I have the towing mirrors , but the wide vision mirror is on the top left corner of the mirror not the right top. Seems like it would limit the distance and corners of the truck.

Autozone has small stick on ones you can get if you wanna go that route and just slap something on. But I think some of the regular F-150 power mirrors have them in the corner... Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are right. A former co worker had an '11 XLT with power mirrors that had the blind spot mirrors integrated in them.

Yes the pic is a passenger mirror. Couldn't find a good pic of the drivers side. Does anyone know if the tow mirrors have the self dimming function? The mirrors I have now do and I don't want to lose that.

I've got non-tow mirrors that came factory installed with a blind spot mirror on the drivers side.
ETA: Here's a cropped image of my brand new (400 miles) truck getting loaded on a flatbed.
But you can see the mirror.

Here's my mirror. Their auto dimming / heated.
You could compare part no. for the basic mirrors between years that should tell you if they'll fit.

You can check the classifieds here or eBay for the best deal. The mirror alone from the dealer was more than a set (driver and pass) off ebay.

I replaced mine with a '11 driver's side mirror and now have the blind spot mirror. I had heated and self dimming mirrors and found a set with the same options.
