Tow Mirrors w/ 360 Camera

[GunRack]

Ford accessories shop has these: https://accessories.ford.com/products/f-150-2021-black-trailer-tow-mirrors

Thinking these will fit the Lightning that has POWER MIRRORS, MANUAL FOLD, BLIS, and 360 CAMERA. However I see the 360 camera is in a different location on these vs the standard mirrors. I imagine that would cause a problem with the image stitching. Do we know what the options for Tow Mirrors are yet? Is this it?

Maybe another issue. The factory mirrors don't have turn signals and these tow mirrors do.

I absolutely love these mirrors!

I don't tow, but always wanted the 2 part mirror, better wrap around view from the side and less blind spots.

Unfortunately the power fold feature will not work on these.

I put those mirrors on my lightning. No problems with the cameras ect. Plug and play. $100 cheaper from a ford dealer on ebay.

Can you confirm the power mirrors fold in with these?

I have an opportunity to trade for a set with the power extending function, including the switch. Based on the cap, I don't think yours are power folding. But just in case, did yours have the wiring beneath the window switch bezel?

Pulled mine apart but I'm not seeing the wires. I'm not sure if they're tucked in somewhere else. Next step is I need to pull the door panel to take a look around to see if I need a new harness entirely or hopefully the plug is already there and I'm just not seeing it. @Pioneer74 or @Ford Senior Master not sure if either of you might know that it might save me the trouble, I would greatly appreciate it.

I believe it is a different door harness.

Mine did not have the wiring to upgrade to the power folding or telescope.

Hi there. I also installed the same mirrors. Everything seems to be working correctly besides the adjustment for up and right for both mirrors. Down and left work though. Did you have the same problem?

I had no problems, maybe check that you got the connection tight?

I got the power telescoping ones I didn’t have any issues with my glass adjustments. I did need to recalibrate the mirrors though

By recalibrating you mean you used forscan or did you have the dealer do it? And after recalibrating are your 360 cameras back to normal or did you still notice any difference?

I used FORSCAN lite to do it and it went back to normal but then I swapped back to normal mirrors and now they’re out of whack again, so I need to recalibrate again

Ok why swap back?

Is there an alternate wiring harness available, wiring diagram, or solution to add the power telescope? I don't have the plug in the door either. All other features seem to work fine, although the cameras need to be calibrated. Anyone know which plug this is? Maybe a pigtail part number?

Long distance road trips where I wasn't towing a trailer. Smaller mirrors = less drag = more range. I did it a couple of times, it didn't make a large enough impact for me to continue doing it and I've since kept the tow mirrors on.
