I've never noticed if my drivers side mirror dims on my BigHorn. Guess I'll have to pay more attention.

Normal, on build sheet it shows that one side is dimmable only. Check the glass out , driver side mirror has a thicker black frame on it which is the dimable version. Passanger side is just heated.

Obviously the Laramie or LTD crowd will chime and state both theirs dim. But ours is normal.

Well, the window sticker from mine does say "Auto Dimming Exterior Mirrors", but I don't see it on the build sheet....so I am guessing it went away with the addition of the optional towing mirrors ???


Can't say I notice it or not when driving

Not the window sticker, the build sheet that's available from owner ram website.

My 2015 sport does this.. I thought I was going crazy and that the passenger side was broken. Glad to know it's supposed to be this way.
