First Post - Tow Mirror Suggestions

[Jodie Zimmerman]

I hated any of the strap on junk. They all shook so bad they were useless. I didn’t want to replace my OEM mirrors because I like the power fold, blind spot monitoring, etc and frankly I just like the color matched look of my oem side mirrors. So after spending an hour trying out every single set of molded slide on mirrors at camping world, I finally found that the ones with the best fit were a completely different make. I want to say they were for the Ram? I’ll take photos in a bit when it’s light out and if anyone really wants to know which part number they were I can see if I can find it.

I would be interested in the part number. What year and model Expo do you have? I have a 2017 limited and not sure if the mirrors are different for each model and year?
Thanks

I really don't believe that the mirrors are different on any of them and I'm pretty sure our doors haven't changed. What I do believe changes electrical wiring. When I got my mirrors there were two wires that were not connected intentionally. In the instructions they told you where to put them according to each generation.

The search function is your friend guys... Been hashed out many times and there are current threads on it. Just saying...

The Trail Ridge mirrors fit the 16/17 perfectly fine.

Those aren't mirrors...they're air brakes.

So I took the boat out for the first time using my mirrors the other day, and I have to say it was really nice to be able to drive down the road and if I needed to change lanes I didn't have to do a little swerve in my Lane to be able to see around my boat lol. They do take a bit of getting used to, however once you do they will make your life a lot easier backing your trailers up.
The picture is taken late at night so you can see that the boats quite large it made it a breeze.

Yeah they'll cost you like 0.5 mpg

Can anyone say why some 3rd gens have an integrated convex mirror whereas others do not?

Is it a standard length versus EL thing? Certain years? Unmentioned tow package addition for some years? Do you give up this feature with BLIS?

OEM, not stick-on aftermarket, as you can see:

Without:

With:


Another example, but interestingly this one isn't power fold:

Passenger side example:

Who knows...i though it might be a premium/EL/latemodel feature that was bounced down from the Navigator design (my '12 Gator L has em, my '09 SSV didn't)

BUT.... just the other day, I saw a 15-17 ecoboost Gator L at the grocery store, and it had plain basic mirrors????? No clue why
