    Cheap and elegant tow mirror solution

    Bottom line up front. Cheap parabolic mirror is probably all you really need to get tow mirror visibility out of a standard mirror. Details. I tow a 24' enclosed trailer so when I ordered a truck I ordered it with tow mirrors. That truck got stuck in QA Hold for a month so I got a truck off...

    Do tow mirrors have turnsignals?

    I tow a big enclosed trailer. Cars beside me often don't notice my turn signals. Do the tow mirrors have turn signal lights built into them like the Laramie and above mirrors do? Are the turn signals visible to cars somewhat behind you? So if I'm pulling a trailer and the car in the next lane...

    What nerf bars compatible with front mud flaps?

    Supercrew. Apparently a lot of bars go a little too far forward.

    Tonneaus and mpg

    I've been poking around the idea of getting a tonneau or maybe a cap. I looked around for some articles on mpg. Didn't find anything on mpg and caps, but there's a fair amount of info ot there re. mpg and tonneaus. Bottom line up front. Tonneaus good, putting the tailgate bed down bad...
