Default Tow mirrors or not?

Debating whether or not to get tow mirrors...no, not for towing (yet) but for looks

Since you're not getting them for towing I'd say no. I'm probably in the minority but I don't care for the look of towing mirrors

Had em on my 2011. I loved them. Make the truck look very beefy. Only problem was they weren't power fold so I couldn't go through too many drive through's.

i dont like the tow mirrors either on the 09-14. if you're not towing, the regular ones do a good job for regular driving. if you just want to look cool, then to each his own, right?

I installed some tow mirrors back in April. I love them. They are power fold with the marker light and turn signal. I haven't towed anything yet. Someday maybe. I mainly got them for the bubble mirrors. Then upgraded to power fold for convenience. I believe you can replace the signal lenses for dark one or LEDs. I THINK.

I threw a set on mine last summer. I like the look and the lower mirror.

They are just 1A knock offs from ebay. I can't say I like the upper mirror. I feel like you can't see a whole lot in it. They also vibrate quite a bit, but my brothers oe '15 F350 mirrors do too.
