If you tow ever, no questions definitely. Big difference between mine (without tow mirrors) and my dads (with tow mirrors).

It's a nice day, so I just went out and measured, right about 3 1/2", on each side.
I've been hoping this company would come up with some of these for the 150 TT's. I had them on my Superdudes, and they're fantastic.

Do it. If you go with the Super Duty style ones, they'll only add to the looks of your truck.
I haven't had a chance to tow with mine yet, but love them so far. While I do miss the little blind spot mirror at times, the convex mirror shows you everything next/behind you well.

I had the ****'s on my last truck, I have these now for towing my snowmobile trailer and I like them much better, they allow you to fold the mirrors while in place. Plus they have a cut out for the outer reflector (LED turn signal mod) if you have that.

Are the superduty tow mirrors a direct fit? 2008+ year model superduty tow mirrors I'm guessing?

No, you need the F150 version. I think they were on the '13+ F150, or you could go with the 1A Autos like I did.
I just referred to them as Super Duty style as they are more recognizable in that way.

Not at all, none of my other vehicles have ever had it, and I really didn't care about on the 150 either.
Wait, I guess my wife's '15 Focus has it. But I rarely, if ever drive it.

Thumbs up Tow mirrors are the shiznit

I have tow mirrors and I LOVE THEM towing or not. they are so big they have their own zip code. I can see better, easier, and overall I believe it has allowed me to be safer.

Point:
On my next truck I will have tow mirrors even if I never towed ever again.
