Tow mirrors are fine when used properly. Nothing worse than seeing a Ram/Dodge going down the road with an invisible trailer and mirrors out taking up two lanes. It looks ridiculous. Don't be that guy unless you wear flat bills and rhinestones on your jeans!

All joking aside, they are some of the best mirrors when you're towing

Hey guys looking for inputs on tow mirrors, 2017 1500 just thinking about if they are too big for a 1500 to look good or if they would look good. I don't tow much in spring-fall but tow a 25 foot over deck sled trailer in the winter. It's a little difficult to see around with the stock mirrors but can see slightly around it. Going more for a good look but also would be beneficial to me. All opinions welcome[emoji1303]

i love that meme, i leave my mirrors up on my 3/4 ton for two reasons i love what you can see with em folded out, and 2 i randomly hook up to trailers on a regular basis and frankly im too lazy to adjust my mirrors each time just so someone else can be happy, lol, and for the record ill never own rhinestone jeans or a flat bill ball cap, they arent even allowed on my property :flipthebird:

Hey guys got a question if anyone knows. Is there any difference between a 1500 and 2500 tow mirror? I found a set of mirrors for a steal in perfect condition that I might get

i personally don't like them. In fact my 2011 came with them and i traded a member them for the regular sport mirrors.
I guess you must not tow anything of significant size.

my god i love a white ram, ive had a few and they have all been my favorites!

especially my 2001 white single cab sport with a med tan interior, that thing was so comfortable and just had a nice warm welcoming feeling when you were in it, i love a tan interior!

These cab lights look sharp. I've had a set of the white led cab lights with smoked lenses sitting in my garage for over 6 months because I can't decide if I want to install them or not!ea0b8bcfeebe22dd2a8a68c9c6dfab5d.jpg1ebf1142be71847ba2e88e6c134b5bb7.jpgb960ffe7c2f2dd1a7f3fe9c4c7316c9e.jpg

Everyone is entitled to their opinion... but for my truck, I can see better with the tow mirrors out. And, if you actually know how to drive, they in fact DON'T "take up two lanes".

I'm not very tall.... 5'6" to be exact and have a 6" suspension with 1.5" body lifts on 37's. I love my setup. With the tow mirrors up, I can see a much wider angle with the spot mirrors. I've tried them both up and down, and the up position works best for me. People can say whatever they want to, but at the end of the day, it matters the most to the driver and my ability to see better. :)

Put them on! You'll be glad you did! Ive had mine on for a year and 5 months and haven't had a single issue with water leaks or LED's going out. Now, I DID put some black silicone around some of the area's where I though there was enough gap for water to get in so maybe that's why I haven't had a complaint like some other' have. Let me know if you need some advice on the install. I'd be happy to help.

Amen brother! and the funny thing at my local Mc. Donalds one girl in the drive through now knows why you shouldnt stick your head out the window when you see a truck pulling up, you know i felt bad that my truck ***** slapped her back to last year but at the same time it should be common sense to not stick your head out where cars are constantly passing by

Thanks man! I think the black really sets off the color, especially your red! I've watched your build for a while, love your truck!
