Do the stock mirrora work for towing a travel trailer or is that another add-on?
Thanks!
I think Ram has stuck with the flip up this year also, these work great for towing.
No problem using their stock mirrors for a travel trailer? I hate to buy the truck and try to replace electic (and heated) mirrors.
If it has the tow mirrors they will flip up. Look at the window sticker and on the right side under "OPTIONS" you will see "Tow Mirrors" if the truck was ordered with them.
If it was not ordered with them, find a new dealer. IMO any dealer that orders a HD truck without towing mirrors does not have a clue about trucks. With that said why would a manufacture even build a HD truck with standard mirrors in the first place? :h

Ran into this with my 2011 Ram 2500. I even complained to Ram that a 2500 HD with all the other towing options and no mirrors was a safety hazard. Basic answer was "it was optional and the original purchaser didn't get them...too bad."
I've even tried to buy them through the Ram dealer and was told that they can't find them for the 2011 even though they've been out for years. I'm towing a small TT and the stock mirrors work okay. I still want a little more mirror though...
Might want to take a look http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Mirrors/Ram/2500Truck/-/-/2011here
I added some newer style to my Excursion and the quality is very good.
