Tow Mirror Question

[gfviperman]

Easy job ... I went the other way on my 2011 Laramie Crew ... tow mirrors off, regular mirrors on ...

On my 1500 I added the slip on tow mirrors and they worked fine but the factory installed tow mirrors on my 2500 are by far the best and if it will not break the bank I would strongly suggest adding them.

When I bought my heavy duty diesel truck it had standard mirrors. I told the salesperson that I wanted to buy the truck but not with the factory mirrors. He had the service department swap them out with the ones on another truck and this cost me nothing. Why pay $50,000 or more and not get a few extras thrown in for free? It pays to ask before signging the purchase agreement at the dealer.

I have the opposite problem as the OP. I have tow mirrors on my 2019 but wish I had power-folding mirrors. My garage is narrow and it would help to be able to fold them in as I did on my last two trucks.

You two need to hook up and Swap mirrors

I got the premium tow mirrors with my 2022 Tradesman 2500. Still learning how to get them properly set for max performance. Once I flip them vertical, all adjustments for towing change. If you can get them, do so. Was surprised to be able to get the premium with the TRadesman. They even have LED auxilary back up lights that do a great job of illuminating the sides of trailer when backing up at night. Fortunately, they are power fold so I can get the 2500 into my garage easily! I used clip ons with my previous 2 tundras and they are a pain.

My son has a 2021 2500 Cummins with factory tow mirrors and the button orientation changes when flipped up. Mine doesn't change cause my mirrors are aftermarket but his do. Odd that yours don't if they are factory?

My 16 tradesman 2500 changes orientation too when I flip them up. @1STRAM2500 have you tried looking through the settings in your radio to see if that function can be changed?

Sorry, just meant that after flipping from horizontal to vertical, I simply have to readjust mirrors to my taste. Am learning best way to adjust for easier tow. The mirror controls work fine, i.e. up orientation on switch moves mirror up whether horiz or vert.

I agree with the other posters that you would most likely be happiest with the final product if you get actual tow mirrors. The only part of going inside my panels that I find aggravating is getting the door handle and screw lined up for reinstall. Even this is not a huge deal. it just takes a little more attention to detail than the rest of the process.
