I bought aftermarket tow mirrors like these for my Tundra. In a side by side comparison with the OEM you couldn't tell the difference. Fairly easy to install yourself. I just sold them when I traded my truck in. Got almost what I paid for them back. Keep an eye on the forums too (tundratalk, tundrasolutions), you'll see oem ones in the classifieds once in a while.
That being said, $600 installed for OEM doesn't sound that bad. Dodge wants $800 EACH for my new truck mirrors, PLUS installation. Ill be going aftermarket again.
The ebay mirrors look like the way to go.
Many thanks to all who have responded. I've not yet committed to buying the truck, but knowing me, once it's in my head, I will. I don't dare test drive anything I don't plan to buy :S
I sort of thought $600 was over the top myself, but that includes installation. And yes, I expect that's a way to jack the price of the truck up. I'll probably buy with the standard mirrors then buy and install the towing mirrors myself.
I'll bookmark this thread and refer back when I have the truck in hand.
Again .... many thanks
