Hey all,

So as the title states, I didn't include the tow mirrors in my build and now I'm sort of thinking if I made the wrong choice.

I have a 21 foot trailer that we'll be towing with the PB and in my old truck I did have some OEM tow mirrors I purchased off Ebay.

I always see Clip-On or mirror extenders for older generation Ford F-150s.

But is there anything like that for Gen14 F-150s yet?

I do like that look of the standard mirrors oppose to the elephant ears so I'd be totally comfortable to use some clip-on type if needed whenever we do tow. We definitely dont camp full time so that's another reason.

Let me know what you've found out there. Maybe Im just too early. maybe I just need to cough up the 700 for some on Ebay...

Can vouch for the Snap n Zap clip over mirrors. I had them on my '17 and used only when towing. The extended mirror only vibrates a little so they are very useable. I read many reviews about the various clip on ones and it seems impossible to get rid of the vibration and if they vibrate your image is blurry. So these are great, they have firm clips and firm foam inside so it makes nice solid contact.

That being said, I LOVE my new truck with tow mirrors! I like the dumbo look as it looks like a superduty and the visible area is awesome.
