Mirror appreciation

[hammerhead2411]

I've got blis, and coming from a super duty this was difficult to get used to.

I wish the higher trims had the blind spot mirror, stuck an aftermarket one on but it doesn't look great. Bliss is annoying if anything else, I'd rather see my blind spot. Don't get me started on the assisted braking in reverse...

I just learned about these, and they now make them for the 21+ Gen 14 f150:

This video of the bronco ones has a great comparison of the FOV:

There's a company out there that make their own mirror inserts for a lot of popular mirrors. It basically doubles their FOV. None for 21+ F150, here's the difference. It replaces the glass mirror itself, nothing more....

vs stock

Company is SUMA

Still has BLISS notification, adds turn signal (optional if you want it hooked up)

When I still had a Bronco I bought a set of these but ended up getting rid of them. The right side glass was literally the same as the oem glass and all the left side was was a duplicate of what was on the right side. I found the field of view to be too distorted for me but your mileage may vary.

Appreciation post. I’m sorry but these are literally some of the best mirrors I’ve ever owned. Totally eliminates blind spots, well done on Fords part.

I don't have the top left corner of that mirror, but I had it on my last truck, the mirror was excellent. I do have BLIS. I would much prefer that mirror on the lower trims than BLIS.

We are a sponsored vendor now and they are ready for pre-order! LINK

I didn't know the 2021+ F-150s got this mirror glass setup ... only seen the single panel... interesting....

So No Bliss on your mirror? I wonder if the Bliss mirror would take this glass setup with spot mirror?

Has anyone had experience using these while towing? The standard mirrors are fine for my current 20' tt but anything larger I will need to upgrade to the factory tow mirrors. I'd love to avoid paying $700 on a $250 factory option.

Adding the factory tow mirrors after purchase will cost you thousands, not hundreds; the cost when new is a steal, if you need them.

Another cheaper option is a snap-on / removable extended mirror:

..reviews of them are in another thread.

I used them when my ex wanted to camp in a bigger TT, and they were sufficient; I would consider replacing the drivers side glass with the wider view glass from the passenger mirror:

I was thinking of the snap on ones too as a stop gap, those are not ideal.

I do not have 360 cameras or fold ins. Just BLIS and heated. Fairway has them for about $700 a pair.
