like i said. IMO i don't think they look too good on one fiddy's they just look too big and bulky, even on lifted trucks. i think the stock mirrors are perfect size. but then again that's my opinion and you asked for opinions so yeah haha

Thanks man, yours is looking great also. Your truck should be able to pull them off, after I installed mine it gave my truck the illusion of being higher and wider.

I had them on my 07 for a while (still in my sig), but just couldn't get past the 'Dumbo' look. Ordered a set of these and they suit me much better: http://www.ebay.com/itm/09-12-Ford-F...fa54eb&vxp=mtr They claim that they won't work with the 07, but they work perfectly !

That is good. The unfortunate thing would be to lose the drivers side auto dimming glass. I wonder if them guys could make that function.

I never had that option anyway, so I guess I won't miss it with these. In fact, I had to replace the HVAC control and the entire fuse panel a couple years ago just be able to have the heated option.

I added the tow mirrors a while back & love them! The only down side is having to fold one side in when I need to get through the garage door when I put it inside to do some work on it.

I would like to order up a set of 2013 F150 tow mirrors as soon as they are available and swap them for the current tow mirrors. It looks like the 2013 mirrors are very similar to the new style Super Duty mirrors.

I can't remember where, but I saw someone who wired up the mirrors to two switches under the rear window switches and was able to fold both tow mirrors. I don't know if they were the Tasca tow mirrors or what, but it was a great design.

One reason I waited and ordered a 2013 F150 was to get the F250 Tow mirrors. I hate driving next to a miata or prius and not seeing it. I have those 3" convex mirrors on my other SUV's and old truck. Look like I have 4 more weeks before the truck arrives...
