Towing Mirrors

I vote for the CIPA mirrors also. I had them on 2007 Suburban, and I got another set for my 2011 Yukon xl Denali. No vibration, work great and to me they blend more so someone might not notice them and steal them. Just saying.

OEM towing mirrors or the cheaper aftermarket versions are worth every penny. They give you a ton more visibility when and when you are not towing. The mirrors are generally wider horizontally and vertically than the stock mirrors.

Mirror on Amazon

The mirror in the OP is the exact same mirror I use on my Armada. I even bought them on Amazon. They work just fine. I am totally satisfied with them. Only problem is you have to have a second person to adjust them initially. They produce a rock steady image with no blurring or shaking. They even hold their position after you remove and reinstall them so you don't have to readjust every time you use them. I only use one on the passenger mirror as my driver mirror works just fine as is.

Do the mounting straps leave any marks or scratches on your factory mirrors?

No they do not and I have chrome factory mirrors.

I'm sure factory mirrors are more convenient. But unless you tow every day I doubt factory mirrors are worth the additional cost when these mirrors do a perfectly acceptable job and are only slightly inconvenient to remove and install. If you already have the factory mirrors then use them. If you don't then these work just fine. Plus the factory mirrors really stick out and can be a problem in parking lots and car washes.

Take the money you save and put it in the gas tank.

I vote for the factory tow mirrors too. They're worth it even if you aren't towing because having the convex plus regular larger mirror really improves visibility compared to standard mirrors. When I drive my wife's Pilot with its I feel like I have far less side and rear visual info available compared to what I get in my truck.

I use these also, they don't vibrate, are easy to put on/take off and are reasonably priced.

Factory mirrors best. I use McKesh and find them very good. No strap marks after 25000+ miles. https://hensleymfg.com/product-category/mckesh-mirrors/

Would go with the factory toe mirrors you just can not beat them.

I would recommend getting factory tow mirrors if possible, the aftermarket mirrors tend to be okay (or terrible sometimes) however having had both on the same vehicle the factory (or good aftermarket full replacements) work so much better...and if you have power mirrors you'll have that as well.
