Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share since i couldnt find much info on these. was waiting for months to become available, finally just found them through seller on E-bay here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2345605412...rentrq:03afc79c1820a21958adc9ebffee5290|iid:1

Price is fair and 1/10 the price of the oem tow mirrors, which I would prefer if money were no object but that's never the case... Havent driven with them yet but wanted to post a link since available and a couple pics, will report back after using. Hoping they work well for my occasional towing of a coleman offroad tent trailer.

Do they just snap on? Are they sturdy, and able to take the stress of interstate highway speeds?

Yes they just snap on, very quick per side. They seem very sturdy once installed, I have not driven with them yet but I have good hopes for them. I believe their product for other applications is well reviewed and was the only option i found that is application specific for this model. I am taking it out weekend of July 23-24 and will report back after that, but so far i am happy with them based on install.

I have these too! At first I used the $20 "universal" mounted ones and almost at every speed they vibrate... Still had to take them towing since I couldn't find a "made to fit product". Then a few months ago I placed an order on etrailer, and it got pushed back... and pushed back... finally, last week I spotted them on Amazon for half the price, and free shipping. When I had seen so many other sites on backorder... And... Voilá! Got them in TODAY and put them on. Took the truck out and driving 65mph they barely vibrated - world and night difference! I also like it lets all the other goodies (cameras, lights) work unimpeded. We'll have to see how they do towing!

Great to hear! that gives me hope that they function well under use. I had the same issue of watching sites and everywhere backordered, sounds like they are finally producing a few. I don't expect perfection for $70, but they seem like a good value and since i only tow once every couple months, as long as they are wide enough to see behind the trailer I will be happy.

Also got these in the mail and will be towing with them next week - randomly got them from homedepot.com which was cheaper an amazon and they showed up fairly quickly.

Product description says mirror is flat. Does that mean it's not wide angle?

They seem to be slightly convex.

Just towed with them last weekend, they worked fine. the left side had a slight vibration of the mirror portion itself that i could not fully tighten, need to mess with the set screw more. right side was solid.

No movement of the overall tow mirror itself, even freeway speeds, etc. they function great.

For the price i think they worked fine. if i towed multiple times a month, i would recommend the OEM tow mirrors, but for occasional towing these seem to do the job for me. for 1/10 the price of OEM i will stick with these. If i found an OEM tow mirror set or replica for ~$300 i would pick them up down the road, but these should work.

I’ve had these on my 2020 XLT. They worked great for the two years I’ve had them. Just traded that truck in for a 2022 Powerboost, and already ordered another set of these tow mirrors. Best bang for the buck.
