What are you guys using for tow mirrors? I need some for my 2003 Expedition. I saw some **** mirrors, anyone ever use them? The factory style bolt on are expensive( from 1A auto are around $375.00)... Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you, I bought those same ones a few weeks ago, and installed them. Sucks paying about $300 for mirrors, but beggars cant be choosers...

At least you have the option to spend $300 and get real towing mirrors...

That sucks! Why does Ford do that? People want to tow with their expeditions, yet they only have tow mirrors for the F150. Stupid!

I installed the dometic aero clip on mirrors and they suck big time. No matter how tight the clamps are, they vibrate like crazy! I miss the max tow mirrors from my F150 but don't want them on the expedition since my wife drives it and they look goofy. Can anyone reccomended a better universal tow mirror?

I know this is an old thread, but I know mirrors were an issue for me for a long time. Every time I towed with my 07 Ex, I missed the dumbo mirrors from my 05 F350. I finally found the mirrors that kleinzach posted above for relatively cheap money. I ended up at $238 for the pair (link below). Power, memory, heated, puddle. Manual folding/telescoping obviously.
Even the manufacturer will tell you they won't work on a 2017 Expy. Uh, WTH fruitcakes? Don't like the extra sales? See pic below of my 17 Ex. They fit perfectly and are fully functional.
