superduty towing mirrors on an expy?
how would the extending towing mirrors look on a new body style expedition? i'm not so sure I like the short mirrors of the expy's and am considering a swap so i figured i'd ask for y'all's opinion on the swap?

Yea, I figured those were the ones you wanted. Those pictures were the closest I could find, though.

Well, IMO, I would not like it for myself. Nothing wrong with it, if that is what you like.

My 08 has a pretty wide mirror on it anyways.

Chebby mirrors on a ford, thats as bad as the older superduty mirrors on chevy's.

Doesn't look too bad, but should have gone with the new SD mirrors.

That's my truck, and yes they are new body style Chevy mirrors. They were aftermarket off of eBay, and they were absolutely awful.

The build quality left much to be desired, and they vibrated so much that I couldn't even see what was behind me.

I would suggest the replacement **** mirrors for the 97-02 F150s, as I believe the bases are the same. The 04+ F150s do not have the same base as the Expeditions.

Edit: By the way, I have the OEM Expy mirrors back on, and they're fine for the towing that I do.
