Tow Mirrors

I installed OEM style 3/4 ton tow mirrors on my Sierra. They aren't removable, but telescope in and out. They replace the factory (small) mirrors that came on my truck. The branding is identical to the mirrors on the new 3/4 tons on the dealers lot. They also have heat, turn signals and are adjustable from my door controls. This is the only way I would go after owning these and aftermarket "clip-on" mirrors.
I purchased them on a website called Fenderworld.com They came out of Michigan and ran somewhere around $300. Installation was really easy as well. I popped off the trim piece in the door panel behind my mirror, loosened 2 nuts to remove my factory mirror and bolted these in place of them. The wiring harness plugs into the factory connector as well. Installed they are the same as the OEM tow mirrors. When not towing, I just retract the telescoping arms in. They have the large flat mirror on top with the convex mirror at the bottom. I think they look great and they work well.

Get a good pair. On my previous TV, I bought a cheap set from the Wal-Mart and they vibrated so bad they were totally useless.

Oh, and did I say... Get a good pair.

We had the CIPA from etrailer.com for our last rig, loved them, wife made cloth bags to store them in. Gave them to my brother when we upgraded vehicles, he still uses them when towing.

Many folks do not want towing mirrors on their truck all the time, only when towing. These work well for that.

I have towing mirrors; but with the toyhauler I just purchased it is wider than my mirrors can see. My mirrors extend, but it would be nice if they extended just a bit more...

I went with the K Source mirror extensions. No complaints.

you didn't indicated if you have a 1500 or 2500

here is one for a 1500 I believe they are the same for 2500

The price differs if you have factory turn signals & heated. I put a set of this type on my truck & love them! FAR cheaper than factory & work the same. Love having the convex lower mirror for backing up.

I will pile on as a McKesh hater. I used them on a wet grimy March day for 120 miles. The straps and road grit made a fine abrasive compound. My passenger door I got by with buffing,my drivers door needed paint.
I will sell them cheap if you want!

What's wrong with the OEM towing mirrors? For about $200 and a couple hours of time, you'll love them.

That said, I use the Fit System snap one mirrors that work okay for their cost. They don't vibrate much, they stay one and even retain my power folding feature. Here is the model for your truck.
