I'd have to say no :-/

I've seen a few trucks with them and IMHO they look tacky...the stock chrome on the XLT is quite enough chrome for one pickup.

I did it and now I hate it. Can't wait for the warmer weather to take it off.

Exactly!

Paint the mirrors to match also.

I think painted handles look 10x better than chrome. #2 is the painted with the chrome handle. Otherwise, stock imo.

Just get the handle crome, not the outer shell. Can get the one's off of the chrome package lariet and either leave the outer part black or get painted. And paint the mirrors.

PTM mirror caps and Mark LT handles if you're desperate for chrome on your truck

These appear to be aftermarket, and a little leary of the quality given the price, anyone have experience with them? Wonder if the buckets are painted or just smooth plastic?
