I'm looking into getting tow mirrors for my F150 XLT. I have stock mirrors and was looking to upgrade to a tow mirror. Cost to buy a set? Is removal and install of mirrors easy? Is the upgrade worth the money? Thanks

 

Very easy to do there are a ton of threads on this topic. With that said I got a set from Tasca Ford and had them installed in about half an hour. The hardest part was figuring out how to take the door panel off after you pull the screws. You need to lift up on it instead of pulling it off. If you have the power but no turn or heat when you get the tow mirrors they will have turn and with the correct plug for them to work. If you want to have heat you will need a new climate control module which will have a button on it for rear defrost. Have fun

 

Any such thing as a manual tow mirror now?

 

You can get the manual mirror. If adding the power mirror you can make it work with the memory and puddle lamps but the dealer will have to reprogram. I have a set that I put on my 09 Lariat CC when I haul my 23' center console Whaler long distances and it takes about a half an hour to swap them out. 5 screws on door panel and three on the back of the mirror.

 

I'll have to see what the manual ones cost.

 

I've got a set of manual tow mirrors coming of my platinum which I'm picking up from the dealer in a few weeks. Don't k ow what they are worth but if ure interested pm me an offer.

 

I didnt know you could get manual mirrors on a Platinum?

 

Window sticker label says
Max Trailer Tow Package Chrome
Max Trailer Tow
PWR/HEAT/SIG MAN TEL/FOLD CHROME

 

I would be looking for all manual, and not heated.

 

I changed the mirrors out on my old Dodge and it wasn't that bad. Just ordered a set of tow mirrors for my F150 and am glad to see the install is the same.
