id like a pair for my super cab, Im getting tired of the chevy style. the first gen super duty look would be perfect for these trucks. but blind spot mirrors led turnsignals and power glass would be perfect.

Pizzaman7 is the only guy I know off the top of my head that has them, and he has some pics of them on his truck.

I've always like the HD Ram tow mirrors that flip vertical to tow mode, but look more like regular mirrors in the horizontal position.



As to the square mirrors looking out of place, these are factory Expy/Nav mirrors that a user put on his screw, and I think it looks killer

The red truck's mirrors look good. I love the HD Ram mirrors too. Some guy actually put some on an 04-08, but had to do a whole bunch of fiberglass work and I don't think it looked really great in the end

So here's what I've put together from those that have given opinions......

In these pics we have 2 different generation stock Super Duty mirrors. I think the first one has better styling when looking at the bucket itself and the front side of the two bars where they meet up to the mounting bracket. It's smother and just seems to follow nicer. However, if you look at the second mirrors mounting point of the two bars you will notice that Ford removed the potential design flaw and allowed the mirror to pivot forward as well as back. This allows the operator to collaps the mirror either way based on the sticky situation the truck managed to find itself in. The second one shows the smoothness of the turn signal that I would be incorperating into the better first pics bucket design. What do you guys think?

I like the second one better myself. I just think the whole mirror as a whole looks alot cleaner than the first. I like the blinker on that mirror too. It all just flows together very nicely.

I think both look good, but I like the second a little better.

I would be interested in a pair. I like the style of the rounded superduty mirrors. The turn signal and heated features would be nice too.

I like the second better as well, if my trucks stock mirrors don't have the led turn signal, could i still plug n play the superduty mirrors with the turn signals? as long as my truck has powered mirrors stock that is?

There's a way to make them work, but it involves adding a pin or something and splicing a wire. I'm wiring-retarded though, so I don't remember or fully understand it, just know it can be done. Look for some 04-08 towing mirror threads, some will have that info in there.

Nothing to update at the moment. I'm still waiting to hear back from the manufacturer. I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I get some updated news.
