Yes Sir i am. I think it is ridiculous that they would sell a max tow truck with out tow mirrors even worse i bought the truck that way. That was the only thing i settled on. I am ordering aftermarket tow mirrors soon. I just have to decide which ones.

I strongly suggest that you stick with the OEM tow mirrors. The ones in my earlier post are for USA customers. Here's the ones for Canadians:
http://accessories.ford.ca/exterior/...ror-10319.html


Those are the ones without memory, and they will plug&play but without the memory feature working, even if your current mirrors have memory. If your F-150 mirrors have memory, then those are available with chrome skull caps and memory from that same link but cost you almost $300 Canadian additional. I didn't think the memory feature was worth the extra hit in the wallet, so I ordered the ones without memory and they work fine in my Lariat.

Ordered the mirrors and had them on in 30 minutes. Very easy to install. Will take some getting use to for sure. They are way different than regular mirrors

On the trailer, best thing you can ever do is get the actual tongue weight, then you will know whether your truck can handle it or not.

A cheap bathroom scale and a couple 2x4's is all you really need to find out what it is.
