LOL... The manufacturer was out last week test fitting these, on one of our trucks.

As soon as they're ready to sell I'll let you guys know.

Let them know they need to seriously mass produce...I'm sure we all don't want to wait too long! I held out on ordering the other set to see what they were going to come up with.

Thanks for looking out and letting us know!

I hope you designed them so the power fold and power telescope will work on trucks that don't have those features in the stock mirrors. Folks with XL and XLT trim want those features too. That will require wiring harness, switches, and other parts, along with excellent instructions on exactly how to install them and wire everything up so they fold and telescope similar to the factory tow mirrors on 2014 King Ranch pickups with the Max Tow Pkg.

I hope there's a version with black skull caps and smoked signal light cover.

Well...I'm at the mercy of the manufacturer. They typically do a decent job at whatever they make.

I know that they will power fold, I'm not sure if they are also doing a power extend version.

Music to my ears! I'm holding off my mirror upgrade to see how these turn out and what the price point is.

Depending on pricing I could be a buyer. Since I bought another toy, I am going to hang on to this heap for an extra year or so and I tow these toys pretty often and I want to get an enclosed trailer that will require wider mirrors to clear the width.
