2001 f150 towing mirrors

I have a 2001 F150 SCAB with manual mirrors. I purchased the slip on towing mirrors that seem to do the job, until you start moving the truck. They extra weight of the extension mirrors cause the mirrors to vibrate and go out of adjustment very easy.
Is there any mirror that will fit in place of OEM and give ample viewing past the trailer.
What about towing mirror from a F250 ?

What towing mirrors did you get? I have the custom fit **** and do not have much vibration. Maybe you just need to tighten the stock mirrors?

I use "**** TTT mirrors". Love them.

If you're in the USA you could get OEM towing mirrors quick and cheap off ebay I hear.

I am using **** add on mirrors and they seem to do a great job.
Did not realize that the mirrors had an adjustment to them. I tightened the stock mirrors and am sure this will correct the problem. I assumed these mirrors were on some sort of friction or spring for the adjustment.
Thanks for the help as usual.

How well do these mirrors extend? I was towing a 24' enclosed car trailer and had my regular mirrors, obviously not good but was wondering if the **** ones give ample sight around something this size in width? Not sure the trailers width but it's gotta be travel trailer like.

If I was towing more often, yes definitely, I'd get a set. I was meaning for the once in a while tow, how do those ****'s slip over one's work?
