I have a 2012 1500 Outdoorsman model, looking to upgrade to towing mirrors from the crappy stock mirrors.

The stock setup is power adjust, manual folding, heated, auto-dimming with turn signals and puddle lights. Would like to keep all the stock options, though I've been unable to find any aftermarkets with auto-dimming so I may have to forego that.

I found this set: https://www.1aauto.com/2012-ram-mirror-pair-trail-ridge-tr00331/i/1amrp01206?f=703655&y=2012 and my question is this- are these really that much better than something like these: https://www.amazon.com/ECCPP-Towing...01K4HSSFC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 with all the same options for $125.00 cheaper.

Also, I've found some posts talking about temperature sensors that tie into the motor/tranny, but it doesn't appear that's applicable to a 2012- can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

Correct. The temp sensors started in the mirrors in 2013. The sensor used to be in the grill but when they started with the shutter grills that closed at higher speeds they had to move the temp sensor so it went in the mirror
