Ford style tow mirrors for RAM trucks (somebody gone and done it)

[kad]

While I've no interest in these myself, I don't recall seeing anyone mentioning them. An aftermarket company has come up with a Ford style tow mirror for the RAM.

Finally! I'm not a big fan of using the factory tow mirrors in the "non-tow" position, but I'm also not a fan of the Moose look when not towing. So, I leave them down most of the time (when not towing). I preferred the tow mirrors on my Titan and on our Ford F series ambulances. Honestly, I probably won't spend the money to change them, but if they had power folding as an option and the price were right, I would consider it.

Good find imho. love my truck but hate the flip up mirrors lol. I get the "ghost trailer" bs all the time.truth be told I can just see so much more with them up. I would assume these work on a 1500? Not sure of any differences. I think they would go good on my truck.

Those look to be GM style. Had ones like that on my Chev a few years ago

Id NEVER run anything BUT the standard ram flip up mirrors. Them things are part of what makes it a ram.

The only reason I won’t buy those is lack of power folding. I wish Ram would switch to that style rather than the flip up. The convex part is nearly useless when flipped down.

If you click the links on that product page, they have other styles as well, with switchbacks and such. I hate the Ram mirrors, I may buy a set of these [emoji1303]

The guy I bought my factory moose mirrors from actually put those on his 2500. Looked pretty good

I'd run them. I hate the look of the Ram mirrors flipped up. I flip mine up when towing but hate the way they look. Not selling mine to buy these but if I was in the market and if they were power folding I'd get them

I'll get pics ill buy some in the next month or so I don't see why they wouldn't work on a 1500?

I would replace my tow mirrors with these, but not for $400. What I would rather see is someone adapt the Gen 2 tow mirrors for the 4th Gen Rams. I could see a lot more with those, up or down...well, except for that short fence post that I sideswiped backing up.

Can you link it? I was looking through the site and can't find power folding in this "ford/chevy" style mirror.

My bad misread the details. Power everything but fold.

I hate to say it but I’d consider them. As others have posted, the tow mirrors are crap when down (look cool but have a HUGE blindspot). They work exceptionally well when up but IMO they look funny up when not towing. Last but not least, my factory tow mirror glass shakes/vibrates too much for my liking and I have since realized they also make rattling noises when I hit bumps or close the door.

I would consider it if I had to replace my mirrors, BUT I would need to see them on a ram first.
