You can order them on a new F150, or add them to your 04 & newer F150. Price depends on what options you want on the mirrors. They range from about 150 to 400+ per side.

You can check the prices here.TASCA FORD When you search for the prices, select 2010 F150. These guys have the best prices around.

Tasca parts had the tow mirrors for a little over $300 last time I checked. I've debated getting a set for years now. I use the **** clip on mirrors and they work really well plus only cost about $50.

Clip on tow mirrors remind me of stuipid clip on sunglass lenses for glasses! So 70-80's & really....shall I say not with the times! Just get a set of towing mirrors from Tasca! I did two years ago & don't realize how I lived without them!!!

The **** mirrors are vehicle specific and don't look cheap plus they work very well. If you don't want to drop over $300 on the factory mirrors right now they would be your next best option.

I think every truck should have the fish eye lens. One of these days, manufacturers are going to figure out a way to fit both the regular mirror and fish-eye in the smaller regular housings and then no one will have blind spots! Seriously, get the Tasca tow mirrors as the clip-ons look goofy.

No they do not retract but you can manually fold them in. That is my problem with them. I go through the bank drive thru often and I barely fit now.

I don't have a pic of them on my truck but I found this one online.



I really don't think they look bad and they come off in like 5 seconds.
