Swapping mirrors
I'm looking at a used ram 2500. It has the sport mirrors. How hard is it gonna be to swap these out for the towing mirrors and how much am I looking at to do it?

- Not hard at all. OE replacement are not powered. Aftermarket Chinese JUNK are. So pick your poison. Used to be able to mod the OE's with a 3rd gen mirror portion like I did on my 98.
Another option is the slip on's
- It’s a pretty easy job to swap out. I did both sides in less than 30 minutes. Just watch one of the many YouTube videos first. As for the mirrors themselves they are usually plug and play but only the features that came with your truck will function. Some older years you could have the dealer unlock all options but newer models weren’t always compatible as there were no programs available.
- I helped a friend change his mirrors on a Ram 1500 to towing mirrors. He got them on eBay for about $160 with free shipping for the pair. It took us about one hour including getting the tools out and putting them away.
- Check etrailer.com. They probably have a vidio showing how it's done.
