I looked for over a month to find the "fitted" tow mirrors that slip onto factory side view mirrors on my '01 F-150 and as you said, there aren't any. I gave up and got these (available from a few places, but cheap and convenient from Walmart)

I only tow during warm months on weekends (boat & camper) so I don't mind not having the fitted look. These adjust when you adjust your stock mirrors, from the driver's seat by the stock remote. MUST have clean dry glass, and USE the lanyard in case the suction cup does let go.

General RV sells a clamp on high quality tow mirror. They are a little more expensive, but good quality.

The trim at the bottom on the crew is wider

Yeah there was some troll here earlier who stirred things up when he told us that he was having some produced specially for our screws. Boy did we feed him.

There's a guy on here working with some companies trying to get them made. Probably won't happen though.

Just passed an 04-08 f150 pulling a fairly large camper trailer that I thought was too big for the truck to be pulling using these going up I-81 North in Va around Roanoke.
