Any negatives to the extendable Tow Mirrors?

IMO I love the looks of the TT mirrors, looks like a mini Super Duty LOL

Actually, the F-150 and Superduties share the exact same cab structures. No “mini” about the F-150.

Yep, frame and suspension, as well as engine options and interiors are obviously different between F-150's and Superduties, but cab-for-cab (regular, SuperCab, SuperCrew), the truck cabs themselves are made on the same stamps and are identical in size and shape. Interestingly, F-150's and Superduities have identical ground clearances for stock specs (8.5 inches) but the overall height is roughly 3" more for Superduties. This is due to Spring and frame rail height differences, which don't increase the ground clearance, as the axles are the limiting factor on ground clearance - same on all trucks, impacted by wheel size only. The weights are substantially different, with the heaviest F-150 (Powerboost SuperCab - 5,500 lbs) being 1,000 pounds lighter than the lightest Superduty F-250 at 6,500 pounds.

I would not order/own a truck without them.
No glare from behind since they autotint.
Push on button at the garage or drive through or car wash and they fold easily.
GREAT vision even without towing and best of all..... they make it look like a truck and not a mall crawler.

Just my thoughts.

And unlike RAMs, they don't even hit the window glass when folded!

Ha.... You need to swap out the entire front clip to make it look like a "truck". Just putting tow mirrors on won't do it.

yep - except you can't get the "button" feature in XLT trim so you must stop, get out and manually fold the mirrors. Now if you could get a Lariot with the sport cloth seats the mirrors would be nice to have
