Yea i guess its a little" dumbo" loking on yours. But make sure u guys get rid of that ugly orange reflector that it comes with! It looks awful, u could do the turn signal mod.

The mirrors do have the chrome caps, turn signals, heated and power adjust. They just don't have power fold.

traded mine as well. I still have them in the garage, on a lifted truck they look great I think ford should have put power fold on them as standard equipment on every model, mine wouldn't fit in the garage either.

I like the tow mirrors but you do have to be careful when pulling up to a drive-thru window, along a mailbox, or an ATM.

Don't need to state the obvous towing advantages but they also make it a lot easier to parallel park because you can see the curb and rear tires in the wide angle.

Finally, I think they encourage folks to park a little farther away from the truck in a parking lot which cuts down on door dings. I park in a lot daily and not one ding in six months.

They possibly could bolt up but I would bet the connectors for the power stuff would be different.

they will bolt directly on. (check out my pics) the only thing however, the plugs are the same, but you have to switch a couple of wires.

If I didn't tow my trailer I wouldn't want them either. But I specifically bought my truck with the Max trailer tow package so I got the tow mirrors and the 3.73 gears. I love them. Had the tow mirrors on my Excursion too, and they are a must for me.

As for the price you want, that's very fair. I had to replace one of mine because I screwed it up in a car wash, I know, my fault, shouldn't be in the car wash anyway, but it gets cold here in northern IL in February. Anyway, I paid dealer cost for ONE mirror, unpainted, I have the color match caps. It was $326.00 dealer cost.
