BTW. I have toed with REAL towing mirrors. The Big truck had mirrors all over it. One each side to look down the side, One tilted to see the stacks, A large fish eye to see where the tires are on the road, and one adjusted to see the lights on the refer. And they all vibrated more then the CIPA. But then the big truck didn't ride as smooth as the 150

Absolutely the most misleading bunch of garbage I have ever heard.

You ARE talking a SEMI TRACTOR that you drove, not a PICKUP.

Yeah, a semi tractor rides like a concrete block and EVERYTHING on the rig SHAKES.

You cannot make any "comparison" between the two vastly different vehicles.

Yeah, a F150 is going to ride like it is a cloud compared to a semi tractor. That IS why you don't notice the vibration in the slip on mirrors.

You obviously don't really understand what REAL TRAILER TOWING MIRRORS on a PICKUP TRUCK should be like.

The OP HAS GOOD CHOICES OF AFTERMARKET TOWING MIRRORS, they WILL be MUCH BETTER THAN ANY SLIDE ON MIRRORS, PERIOD.

The aftermarket mirrors have many features just like the OEM mirrors, you can pull the mirrors out for towing, then push them in when not towing. They FOLD in or out so if they hit an object they don't break off.

They also can be folded in for tight spots like parking places or garages..

Slip on mirrors DEFEAT the ability to completely fold in the vehicle mirrors.

The aftermarket mirrors provide a much larger field of view than no slip on can AND the convenience of being able to pull them out or push them in in seconds. A very nice feature when you are towing and stopping somewhere and not worrying if some other motorist is going to break your mirrors in the parking lot.

Like I said, once you towed with a NON SEMI with REAL trailer towing mirrors you will never want to go back to a slip on type mirror. Just no comparison.

Terryallen, I would recommend that YOU should think about getting a set of real aftermarket towing mirrors and put on your F150.. Then perhaps you will understand how much better the real deal pickup truck towing mirrors are.
