I am hopefully goiung to pick up a a new TV next year. I like to keep my stuff for 10 years. Currently have a 2008 CTD that other than emissions ( problem solved ) has treated me well but want something different. I really want a new F250/350 but I am pretty scared by their 6.7 - should I be?

Yep. I prefer the Ford mirrors 90 percent of the time also.


Enjoy mine 100 percent since they are up 100 percent of the time. ๐Ÿ˜‰


Which means it looks hideous 100 percent of the time. ๐Ÿ˜‰

HaHAHA!! The guy in the first video is driving a Ram. I feel the same way as he does, but don't express it with the violent undertones. I think turned out ram mirrors are hideous, unless the truck is towing.

I only put antlers up when towing. The convex mirror needs to be manually adjusted between antlers up and down. I also added a small spot mirror to the main arm. Chris

Interesting. Someone challenges your comments, your only response is to tell them to block you.

Rather contrary to the intent of a forum is it not?

Ram mirrors are hideous looking up, down, or sideways. Prefer Ford's and GM's.


He is constantly being a D**K on another forum so I am tired of hearing from him, simple as that. It just gets old. "FISH" Is another story we have a love hate relationship!!! :B



And somehow name calling is appropriate , that block button works both ways. Did you ever think just maybe you get old.

All of the big 3 are very,very good right now. We are in the promised land of diesel pick ups. I bought a Ford because it fit me the best. That is all, it's seat and steering wheel, with the adjustable pedals were just right. Price is the other big consideration.

I like the tow mirrors on my F450.

I'm really apprehensive about pushing this button though, but my finger keeps telling me to push it.

I just leave mine up because I tow 70+ percent of the time. Up they work great. They work well when I'm towing my gooseneck with broken down 6.0s on it. I've towed 6 in the past couple years.

That is the same issue I have with them. Purely from a design and utility standpoint the Ford tow mirror is superior to Ram.


Agree with both of you. But the mirrors do stick out a little more flipped up. I can get in my garage with them down but not up. It would be nice to have the same mirror orientation in tow mode or regular.

I drive with my mirrors down when not towing. They work very well when each mirror is aimed for a certain purpose with the main mirror used more for what is behind you on either side and the small mirror used for what is right next to you. Most people that I know that hate them down is because they have both mirrors aimed at the same spot which will create a huge blind spot.

I really prefer them over the others because they look like normal mirrors when not used for towing.
