Long View or K-Source Towing Mirrors??
I'm not considering the **** custom slide on tow mirrors because they scratched the hell out of the standard mirror backs.
Etrailer said the Longview mirrors will not scratch and use padding to keep it from happening. They are also top rated from 2015 and 2016 F150 owners. The glass looks nice and wide for an extended view, but don't seem tall enough for full viewing.
I really liked the K-Source mirrors but the mirror glass isn't wide enough to look like it will extend out far enough although they are tall enough.
The Longview mirror glass is 5 1/2" wide and 4 1/2 tall while the K-Source mirror is 3 7/8" wide and 6 3/4" tall. Not sure if it will extend far enough out to see down the trailer sides and behind it.

I have the K Source on my '13 towing an 8' wide camper. I like them and can see down both sides. I just make sure the mating surfaces are clean before mounting. No scratches so far. If you want to see behind the camper, get a rear view camera.

I have the Ksource mirrors for my previous 12 F150 and loved them. The new generation F150 Ksource mirrors are not as wide so that is the concern, especially with the new 15/16 F150 side mirrors being 1" narrower.
Really like the looks of Ksource tow mirrors for the 16 F150.
