Default Add on tow mirrors for 2018 F 150


When looking for a truck, tow mirrors, were on the list of what I wanted...Sadly when push came to shove, the truck I was able to find did not have them.
So I am looking for what is the best option for a clip on or slide on mirror.
The color is Magma with painted mirror caps, Blis, puddle lights, and side lighting and power fold.
What are your recommendations?
I had slide ons on my 2007 Fx4 with white painted caps, of course with almost 300 000 Km I was much less concerned with the possibility of scratching that truck then I am with this one....
So far what I have found that interests me is the Ksource 81850 snap and zap but am concerned with the scratching aspect.
Thanks in advance for your advice

I have had success with the Milenco Aero 2 on my Touareg before the truck and they were awesome. The Aero 3 is much bigger, so maybe an option?

I use the k source mirrors on my 2016 and am very happy with them. They give me a good view of my trailer and dont look too bad on the truck. Ive seen ni evidence of them scratching my mirrors. My father has almost the same truck as u, same colour and mirrors and he uses the k source mirrors as well.

It looks like Canadian tire stocks the Ksource extensions so I will try them.
I Like the mirrors enough that I can make due with extensions.

Thanks for your help

How is the passenger mirror on the ksource? I have the **** which are similar in design, and the passenger mirror is useless. The Ksource seems to have bigger mirror surface in general, but I believe it has more to do with the mirror "glass" bearing flat.

I find i get a good view with both the drivers side and passengers side with the ksource mirrors. Just takes a little fiddling to get it exactly where i want it because the wifey tends to move it too much when i tell her to move it a little bit one way or another lol
