Default Another %$%^#! mirror thread

Let's face it, Ford dropped the ball on F150 mirrors.

I have searched a few hundred times and it almost always turns up results for Screw and Ebay mirrors. Mine is an 02 F150-7700, single cab, long bed, power/heated. The stock mirrors are already inadequate, and I'm soon adding a cap/camper/topper to the bed which will make things worse.

Option 1: ebay mirrors. No offense to those of you who have chosen them, I think they are just monstrous and too wide, especially with all the city driving I do. I don't need crazy huge F350-looking mirrors.
Option 2: add a fisheye stick-on. I tried that, but it takes up way too much of the already limited glass real estate. The cheap stick ons are also so curved that you can't really seen anything until its on top of you anyway.
Option 3: Insert your idea here. Some bolt-on junkyard option? Maybe some interchangeable option from another vehicle that works?

People have successfully used next gen f150 mirrors. I think they came out pretty good IMO. Unfortunately there's not a whole of info about it...

I'll have to look into it. Unfortunately, buying mirrors isn't what it used to be. No more $20 junkyard mirrors to try out these days. Buying mirrors to randomly try could be a $300 mistake.

I also get conflicting stories on expedition mirrors. Some say they only work on Screws, others say they fit all.
