bigger mirrors for Tacoma

Has anyone that tows with a Toyota Tacoma found a good extended mirror?

  • Check amazon. I have a set of CIPA mirrors and love them.
  • My only issue with McKesh mirrors is that I will NOT attach anything to my truck that will or could scuff the paint. All you McKesh users can blast me if you want....and tell me that it has not harmed your paint even one little bit in tens of thousands of miles.....and if that is so, then I am happy for you. But for me, it just ain't gonna happen. My experience has been that "anything" that touches paint will likely damage it at least a little, given enough use. I'm am probably just too picky about the cosmetics of my vehicles...... as they say...YMMV
  • Like 4aSong, I use McKesh mirrors. I've used them on 2 Chevy trucks and a 4Runner. Much better than the cheap McKesh knockoffs.
  • dsoucy1, Check out this thread on the Hi-lo forum http://www.hilotrailerforum.com/f19/towing-mirrors-toyota-tacoma-1376/ if you want to see the photos you will need to join.
  • I have a Tundra and use McKesh Mirrors, Tried numerous less expensive mirrors and the McKesh was our choice. I believe there are other manufactures making similar mirrors with this type of mounting arrangement that are available on the market today. We have the optional Convex mirrors also. Occasionally they are listed used so keep your eyes open as you can get a pair fairly reasonable.
  • We tow with a Land Cruiser, and the only mirrors we have found that will work are ones that strap onto the doors.
