CIPA mirrors

Any one using CIPA extension mirrors on their F150? Any comments good or bad. We had trouble with the old Dodge On trip to Canada, had it looked at there, had same trouble on the way back. I was starting to look when the local Ford dealer called they had the 2005 F150 with 32,000 miles on it. Towed a trailer south in the fall back home in the spring. By they way just as I said things couldn't get worse they did got caught in a hail storm, damaged the front of the trailer

You may check around the internet for some aftermarket towing mirrors. I know body shops het them all the time and they are pretty cheap.

I have the CIPA mirrors for my Silverado. I like them a lot. Etrailer.com. they are the covers with the smaller mirror ends. Wish it was a bigger mirror, but I like the stock for every day, so I can make do. Etrailer done me right.

I've used CIPA mirrors on two TVs, a Suburban and on my current Sierra. Easy to install and take off. I got mine from etrailer.com also.

I got a set of these CIPA tow mirrors for my F-150: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B5QFE4/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01"/URL]
They work great, install and remove easy, don't vibrate driving down the road, and were a great deal.Click image for larger version

X2...I have the exact same ones, and have had them on our F150 for over a year straight now, without any issues.

Love them

Maybe it's me, but I have a pair of the CIPAs on my Silverado and think they're a bit too small, especially when checking
the little outside mirror for clearance when passing. I'm thinking about ordering the OEM towing mirrors that extend outward. I drove
tractor trailer for many years and mirrors are something that I will spend money on them. In particular, I cannot see the top of my trailer because the outside mirrors are too small and that concerns me when backing into a wooded spot. Again, it may just be me, but I want/need larger mirrors. Maybe my eyes are not what they use to be, but my wife never thought they were any good to begin with when riding with me...lol.
