Since I bought my truck in Texas, I’ve been wondering if my mirrors were heated. They don’t have the typical “heated” symbol on them...well the other day when they were frosted over I turned on my rear window glass defroster and they melted and cleared within minutes. Very impressed.

You know, I was also wondering if the Expedition came with heated mirrors. I too was expecting the wavy lines on the mirror. Nice to know we actually have them since over here we are expecting a bucket load of freezing rain.

Heated mirrors are pretty much becoming standard equipment. I cant think of an automobile I have owned in the last 10 years that didn't have them
I owned Mercedes for 20 years prior to buying my Expedition in 2013. If I remember correctly the 1980 300SD may have had heated mirrors, but my 1987 300SDL definitely had them.

Muddy, FYI I think the manual mentions that when the vehicle has BLIS it will not show the heated mirror symbol on the mirrors themselves.

Turn ur rear defroster on then touch your mirrors 5-10 minutes later. You should have them

Moss,
That makes sense. I also
Have the automatic darkening drivers side mirror too which is genius. I had it on my old 1998 Buick too and loved that feature. No more getting blinded by the guy behind me...

Please remind me, which trim level do you have?

Now I’m wondering if I have them... probably not but I have noticed that when I run my rear and defrosters frost and snow on them melts away within 5-10 minutes. Most likely just the heat from the front defrosters blowng on the windows tranfers a bit and melts the snow on them.
