My max tow came with the 'Dumbo' tow mirrors. They are great while towing but not so much when not towing. So I bought a pair of aftermarket standard size mirrors for the 90% of time I'm not towing.

It's three screws to remove the door panel (don't bother with the connectors, let it hang) and three screws and a connector to remove the mirror.
For those wanting the 'Dumbo' mirrors, buy the truck that works for you and install the large mirrors yourself, it's super simple.
Now that's an idea. Along those lines you can buy an F250 and a crated 3.5 ecoboost. Then when you want to run for groceries or go to work simply swap out the 6.2 or 6.7 with the 3.5, and just swap them back before hooking up the trailer lol.
Seriously.....you really do all that mirror swapping? I'll be damned if I would go through that no matter how easy it seems.
