Default Tow mirrors

Has any one bought the tow mirrors from 1aauto.com. I want to put a set on my rig but I don't have $650.00 to spend at the dealer

Feed back would be great. Thanks guys

Yes, I have them and they are great. Great dealing with Tony and the mirrors are just like OE even down to the texture.


I've had them on for months now and they are great. Everything works fine and I have no mirror shake.

Here is a video review I did after I installed them.

There are a LOT cheaper options than what your dealer is quoting you:

I've been looking at these trailer mirrors also. My 2012 doesn't have the puddle lights in the mirrors. Will these aftermarket mirrors that have them work even though I don't have them from factory? Has anyone seen non-heated towing mirrors with turn signal and puddle lights? I live in AZ and don't need heated mirrors in 110 degree temps!!

I have a 2010 and my stock mirrors didn't have signal, heat or puddle lights.

I ordered a set of the tow mirrors from 1Aauto.com and they mounted right up and plugged in no problems. Checked and sure enough signals worked as do the puddle lamps.

They work just like as if you got them stock off the lot.

I'm almost wondering if these mirrors are coming from the same supplier as the Ford OEM towing mirrors. I have seen them in person and I couldn't tell the difference by any means.

Not sure but they are identical from what I can tell. My buddy has the Ford ones and you can't tell.

I have had the 1Aauto mirrors on my truck for a couple of weeks now. Overall I am pretty happy but my passenger side mirror vibrates a lot on the highway. I think I will call them soon because there is a one year warranty.
