RAM 2500 Mirrors
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.- Ram's tow mirrors work great in towing mode but look kind of stupid. In regular mode they don't work as well. Not being big on aesthetics, I generally just leave them in tow mode.

- 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.
- 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.

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.
