RAM 2500 Mirrors

[Galena]

Looking at a RAM 2500 to replace my F250 and all the 2500s I looked at did not have mirrors that extended, are the existing mirrors OK for seeing behind the RV?

I don't get the need to flip them out when not towing. Maybe it's the way I have them adjusted. I use both mirrors on one side. No problems seeing cars behind me or beside me. Now our 2015 Camry is another story. Hard to get used to those tiny mirrors after having large truck mirrors.

What he said^^^^!

I added a little spot mirror to the arm.

Have to agree not a great non towing mirror . After towing with a Ford Superduty for a number of years I sure appreciate what decent mirrors it had regardless of what position.

Ram could take a page out of how to build a decent towing, and non towing position mirror.

I have the flip up tow mirrors on my 2014 ram 2500 TCD. I like them better than any mirrors that I have used in the past. I tow a 31' 5th wheel, really like these mirrors.

Mine flip up and add 25hp.

I did a mirror swap with Mirrors from 1Aauto.com on my 1500. I still have to take it to the dealer and have sales code "LEG" put in so they will orientate correctly when flipped.

A coworker of mine was complaining he couldn't see when towing with his Ram. I didn't say a word, just went out at lunch and flipped the passenger side mirror into the tow position.
His reaction was really funny, but nobody ever figured out it was me.

If it doesn't have the tow mirrors, I would have the dealer swap them out. The clip on type mirror extenders vibrate too much, and look cheap on a new truck.

X1!!! clip on type mirrors will drive you crazy, give your eye balls head aches:):):)

Mine flip up and work really well for me.

They ROTATE up for tow position






Just walk up to truck and see if mirrors rotate up...simple design

Ram's tow mirrors are among the best I have ever used. Very steady image in the mirror and plenty wide to see behind. Look at the window sticker, if it says tow mirrors the truck has them.
