Anyone know if there are upgrades to make the field of vision more wide on the upper tow mirror? I just installed tow mirrors but feel the field of vision between the upper and lower mirror is way to wide, I find it very difficult to check if the right lane is clear with the tow mirror vs stock. TIA.

I'm assuming your talking the factory Ford ones? The lower mirror is used for wide angle viewing. The top mirror is really only good for whatever is directly behind you. you can set the lower mirror pretty wide. I have mine set currently that all blindspots are covered. The top mirror sees behind me, The drives window sees next to me and the lower mirror fills in-between. It really does work quite nice. But yes, Coming from the non towing mirrors, The top mirror is smaller and much more "Zoomed In".

Love the tow mirror over the standard mirrors. All my pickups have had factory tow mirrors, you just have to get used to looking at both the upper and lower mirror, I find myself using the bottom wide angle most of the time, can see everything.
