Size difference in tow vs regular mirrors?
Anyone know the size difference between the two or have a side by side picture of them?

I replaced my regular Lariat mirrors with tow mirrors for an XLT. The small mirrors are in the barn somewhere, but not handy.
Tow mirrors stick out past the driver's door glass 16.5" when telescoped in, and they telescope out another 3.5" for towing, so a total of 20" wide when towing. They are 12" tall overall.

I love my towing mirrors even for everyday driving, my only regret is not getting the automatic retractable option, didn't know it was available until after my truck was delivered.

Not if sure you mean power fold or power telescope, but I didn't know either was option for the 16s either.

Sorry, couldn't get a decent pic holding tape measure in one hand and phone in the other.
Retracted the mirror is ~18.5" from the cab window to outside edge of mirror housing.
Extended is ~21.5"
Big mirror is ~6" wide x ~8" in height.
Lower mirror for blind spot is ~3" x 7.5"
