What's your budget for mirrors? 1A Auto has some good deals for proper tow mirrors if you don't want to shell out the price that Ford demands at the parts counter.

These are a power folding model, and need a bit of wiring and to enable if your truck isn't already equipped. There are a couple options of how to wire it, as 1A Auto also sells a package with a secondary switch and instructions how to wire it up, or you can spring for the OEM power fold switch and wire it up to look stock. This is the set with the secondary install kit for power fold:

I really like the ****. Cheap but don't look like clip on or strap mirrors. A big improvement over the universal type.

I have the Longview slip on tow mirrors. Check out the videos on this link. http://www.etrailer.com/Custom-Towin...eid=2012301199 They work great. I had the ****'s on my paddle mirrors of my Superduty and had fitment and vibration problems. No complaints with the Longview's. Easy on, easy off and fit more secure that those with a wedge.

Another vote for the K Source. Easy on and off, no vibration or mirror movement.

I have the K source, they looked the best and work just fine. I wouldn't say NO vibration at hwy speeds though, but not enough to make them unusable. For $20 on craigslist they are fantastic!
