I asked for the telescoping tow mirrors to be included when I ordered my 2015 XLT but it arrived without them. At first the dealer tried to tell me that they were not available for this model. After they took another look they decided that they can order them for me now and the cost is $233 each (these are the manual fold type) and they would install them for free. Still trying to decide if I want to write out a separate check for the mirrors. I believe the price on the Build a Ford Truck website was only $169 for the pair but it says that you have to also include the side spotlights which brings the total cost close to what the dealer is telling me. Has anyone found a 3rd party that sells a similar mirror for a better price?

I was going to get them put on my 2015 XTR when it purchased it but the dealer told me they were $1100 per side....so I told them to keep their mirrors.....now I can't find them aftermarket anywhere...

I'm reviving this thread. Right now, as far as I've been told, spotlights make or break the ability to run powered trailer tow mirrors. If you have spotlights on your regular-sized mirrors, you should simply be able to pick the trailer tow mirrors that fit the same features your mirrors currently have, and then pickup a new switch panel. Total cost can run anywhere between $1000-$1300.

Has anyone does this for XLTs that have regular sized mirrors without BLIS, 360 degree camera, and spotlights? If so, I'd really like to hear about it!

I just had to "upgrade" to manual mirrors because mine isn't equipped with the LED spotlights. It has the smaller harness as opposed to the 20 pin

Can someone post a video of the mirrors folding and telescoping in and out. Curious to see it in action.

Apparently if you buy the whole entire harness for the door, you can either completely replace it to get the 22-pin connector or cut the 22-pin off the new harness and splice it into the wires coming to the smaller harness. If it isn't incredibly difficult, I'll do an entire harness replacement, otherwise I'll just cut and splice.
