Clip On Tow Mirrors

[harryjr]

Just got a 2016 Tundra 5.7 Double Cab w/ tow package, but no tow mirrors. I only have a inch or two clearance on either side with the garage door, so I'd rather not switch to permanent towing mirrors. Anybody have any recommendation for clip-on tow mirrors that can be removed when not towing? Thanks.

I have been very satisfied with my K Source clip ons. Easy on and off and good vision. This is the Tundra version.

I've had CIPA slip on mirrors and the rubber strap mirrors. I feel confident saying that the vibration people report is simply amplification of their OEM mirror's vibration. Also if the add-on mirror is slightly convex, the vibration is minimized. The CIPA slide mirrors on my old F150 were unusable due to vibration, until I covered the mirror with an inexpensive convex mirror from the local parts store. On the other hand, the rubber strap clip on mirrors I use on my new Ram, are rock solid, with no vibration what so ever.

I chose the Aero 2 when I was towing with my Nissan Frontier. Couldn't find CIPAs to fit. Glad I did because I traded trucks a few months later and the Aero 2s stayed with me! If you get something more universal, you can keep 'em after you trade trucks!

If you shop around, you can get these for about $90, delivered.

I've used the K Source strap-on tow mirrors with a ratcheting system. 3 years towing with these now and there is no vibration.

They are more expensive, but have you considered a installing a camera system on your trailer?

CIPA. No vibes. if your mirror is painted, the possibility of scratching them exists while sliding them on/off.

I bought in on the McKeesh hype and regretted it. They had to be readjusted every time you shut the door, the straps had to be tightened when it rained, the bottom hook of the strap beat the paint off the door sill, they were a huge pain to store when not in use, the parts to the spot mirror rusted. Did I mention I hated them?

I had (still have) a set of McKesh mirrors I used on my Envoy and was happy with them.
The F150 has a set of CIPA slip-on mirrors, and I like them also. The CIPA's are easier to store when not in use.

I have used CIPA mirrors for the last five years with no problems. I have a F150 with turn signals in the mirror. They do make a minor to fit the turn signals for my truck.

I would like to factory tow mirrors but I don't want to pay the price they want for them. I don't think any clip on mirrors are as good as factory mirror.

I used this style for many years

I had a problem with the CIPA strap on mirrors staying on my passenger side. I had an Expedition with the turn signal below the mirror (an thus no slip on ones were available to fit that mirror). I tried everything I could think of, from the CIPA, to the suction cup ones. The Aero were the only ones that would stay since they clamp onto the mirror frame. The Aero mirrors are rock steady too. All of the other ones I use vibrated very bad. So much so that I was ready to give up having a mirror on the passenger side since I couldn't see anything anyways. I LOVE using the Aero mirrors, and wished I had started out with them. I thought I could get by cheaper. It was definitely worth the expense to get the Aero.

I have the CIPA also. No vibration. Easy on and off. No marking or rub spots in about 3000 miles. Would buy again.

CIPA. NO vibration. Easy on and off.

My next mirrors will be Aero 2's...easy on and easy off.

Thanks!
