First of all, I don't have tow mirrors but I want some. GM knew what they were doing when they designed the new tow mirrors on the 2015's and up. They have the LED signals on the front and the white led backup lights.

When will Ram get the hint? I hardly doubt that anyone makes a kit so we can use those tow mirrors. Any ideas for something besides the stock Ram tow mirrors?

Ram did have the best tow mirrors, not anymore though, they are out dated.
The GM ones are really nice though.

It's about time for me to bite the bullet and buy tow mirrors but I just wish Ram would have changed / updated their mirrors on the 17's

The ram mirrors are fine, all they need is the turn signal to stay lit (like Chevy and ford) and visible turn on the mirror from behind, not much else imho

You guys think the gm tow mirrors are nicer? You guys gotta be out of your mind. With the two horizontal sticks holding the mirror in place is just ugly. Ram's mirror are by far the nicest opened and closed. Gm has reverse white lights on the mirror? Why the hell do u need reverse lights on a mirror? I don't know, GMs mirror don't look right. Doesnt fit the truck.

Yes, GM took the title from us. Their mirrors are the new winners

No way, Ford has the best mirrors by far. Especially with the power extending

Nope Ford has the best ones, GM has the fuglier looking version them. Ram and lights and power fold now so they have the same features but I wish they would update the design but it's ram so they have to do it differently.

Ford does have the best mirrors when it comes to visibility. I do like Ram's the best all around because they go back being a normal mirror instead of having elephant ears all the time.

I don't understand the need for a turn signal on the inside of the mirror. Isn't there an indicator on the dash telling you which turn signal is on? I had this on other trucks and never really saw the use in it other than to just say I had it.

It's also another marker light I think cause my F150 now has the one as a turn signal and the other as the marker light. I was going to order my new 1500 with tow mirrors but didn't when I found out they weren't power fold and I can just add them later so I get the power fold option.
