Removable towing mirror suggestions.

Tow vehicle is a 01 Chevy 1500HD, I'm lookin for some good towing mirrors that I can just throw on and remove when I'm not towing. Thanks in advance.

  • I've had both McKesh (and have a set I will sell cheap) and CIPA. The McKesh stick out further if you want max re-view visability, but the CIPA's look better and I had no vibration problems with them on my GMC YukonXL, whose mirrors would retract by hitting a button, which was really nice with the CIPA's sticking out in crowded parking lots.
  • That looks like a nice system. I thoroughly cussed the CIPA mirrors I tried on the old tv, they would not stay tight. The next door mount set were little better, they vibrated until I got overzealous and broke the adjustment knob.:M The factory tow mirrors on our 05 Ram are the cat's meow.
  • Try the CIPA slide ons. They don't vibrate, easily slide on and lock firmly in place for about $69. I've had mine for 3 years and they work great. :C
  • Dang I like the looks of those, especially how they anchor to the vehicle, none of that clamping over the mirrors and every small draft blows em around! Thanks!

    Easy on and off and virtually vibration free.If I were still towing with a pick-up I would still be using them.


    x2 - Still using them today, have optional Convex mirrors. Best we found after trying numerous other brands which vibrated and were difficult to adjust.
