Toyota Tacoma Mirrors

[RobNLucia]

I just bought a Jayco X17-Z, and am going to pull it with a 2015 2WD Tacoma. My problem is no one seems to be able to provide extention mirrors, not Toyota, or Camping World. Any suggestions?

I got them on Friday about hours before leaving for the campground. Not enough time to install them, but just enough time to shhow them to my wife - who said, "wow, those are huge - why don't you ask me before changing the appearance of my truck". If she ultimately vetos installing them, I'll go with the door mounted towing mirrors, I guess. Damn - as these are very nice looking and I am looking forward to installing them. I really could have used them on this trip - lots of backing up into small campsites and driving on twisty roads, etc.

Sorry Im an idiot cant do the clicky thing! Its the dual mirror clamp on mirror from you guessed it campingworld. They work ok, but I drive a truck for a living and I like to see things.

I have used McKesh Mirrors on my tundra and they work superior, excellent view of rear, no vibrations, no wearing of the paint and easy on and off. Recommend the Convex mirrors also. Check Amazon and Ebay as sometimes they are listed there at a more reasonable price.
I'm sure other manufactures have a similar mirror arrangement so you may have to do a bit of research.

Originally bought these

http://www.amazon.com/Fit-System-3891-Universal-Trailer/dp/B001AJH1HK/ref=sr_1_2?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1437440925&sr=1-2&keywords=toyota+tacoma+towing+mirrors

and then bought these, hoping I was buying something better

but went back to the original pair.

When I towed with my 2001 Tacoma, I used these:
You can find them at etrailer.com.
They attach to the fender at the top of the wheel well and at the hood opening. They also worked on my 2000 Tundra.
Work great, no wind noise. They do tend to scratch the paint near the hood, though.
Still have them; I'll sell mine cheap if you're interested.

On my old first Gen Tundra (never came with towing mirrors) I used the cheap strap on mirrors from Wang Mart. They were junk but they stayed on and helped a bit.

K source does not have one - wish they did - that is exactly what I am looking for.

In fact I bought the K source "toyota" ones hoping they'd fit, but they are far too big - mad for Tundra/Sequoia...

Here is the old Aero2 on the Frontier before I replaced the stock mirrors with the big twin arm tow mirrors. This aero2 in the picture, I have cut the rod shorter so it would sit in as close as you see here. This was wide enough to easily see around my 7 feet wide camper.

On my Tundra I use
K-Source (81300) Towing Mirror
from Amazon
Bet they have one for your rig.
