Best 2018 Ford Expedition Towing Mirrors

The KS81600 (pair) snap-on mirrors mounted quickly and fit snug and beautifully to my 1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Series with contoured mirrors, and did not impede the existing Ford mirrors whatsoever. However, I have a problem with the focal distance of the passenger side KS81600 mirror that I received. See photos. It's magnification is quite different from the truck mirror, and shows only a small, magnified area of the distant background. In contrast, the KS81600 driver side mirror has a similar focal distance as the Ford driver side mirror, offering more of a long and broader view. I could live with the driver side view, but not the passenger side. I'm unsure if this difference is intentional or a product error/mis-match. I've contacted the eTrailer experts on the matter. Alternately, I also ordered a pair of the KS3891 "clip-on" mirrors, with the ratchet system. While I think this product offers a much broader view on both sides of the vehicle, they are not near as easy to put on as the KS81600, never quite go on in exactly the same position, and are not a perfect fit to my contoured Ford mirrors on the passenger side. In addition, the thicker clamps of the KS3891 make contact with the Ford mirror glass and impede my ability to fully adjust them. I will post a separate review of them. The KS81600 is a much cleaner, easier product to install and secure. Unfortunately, the focal distance issue is a deal killer for me, and I'll probably keep the KS3891 which provide a broader view on both sides of my rig.

2001 F-150 SuperCrew, Lariat edition with turn signals incorporated into exterior mirrors. The mirrors arrived undamaged within four days. Installed both mirrors in under three minutes and they fit perfectly, with no issues concerning the turn signals, (this was my concern). Hauled the trailer camping last weekend and although the extended mirror is slightly on the short-side, it was a huge improvement over the stock F-150 mirrors and I was able to see the traffic behind me. The mirror extensions had very little to no vibration. Great product at a great price. The video on the site showing the mirrors being fitted to the 2000 Ford Expedition is what prompted me to purchase since they are the same mirrors used on the F-150 at that time.

These mirrors are good, but not great. I bought these because nothing else fits my 2004 Ford Expedition. They allow me to see around my trailer much better than the factory mirrors, but the have a slight vibration driving down the road. They also make a very noticeable noise from the wind going between the factory mirror and this product. Finally, one of the straps came off when I tightened it a bit too much, but didn't break. The picture below was done in humor (I took my trailer through a drive through, thought it was really funny, and had to take a picture. The picture is a good shot of the mirrors.)

I've compared these KS3891 clip-ons with at least one of the snap-on variety (KS81600), and found this clip-on product with larger mirrors, that can adjust tall or wide, offers a significantly broader view on both sides of the vehicle, which is the most important peforrmance aspect for me. However, there are installation and fit issues with my 1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Series with contoured mirrors. - The passenger side mirror housing of the Ford has a slightly different shape than the driver side, causing the lower left KS3891 clamp to not fit snug to my passenger side mirror. See photos attached. While the driver side KS3891 fits tightly and parallel to my truck mirror, without movement, the left side is prone to a bit more slippage and doesn't feel as secure. The round contour of my mirrors may pose further problems given the front clamp is not fully engaged on the passenger side. I'm confident the driver side is secure, but the passenger side... will it stay on? Time will tell. - The KS3891 front clamps are thick, and make contact with the Ford mirror glass, impeding my ability to fully adjust my Ford mirrors in certain directions. - As others have noted, the upper ratchet straps are plastic (only the lower straps are rubber). Since I have to really ratchet these tightly on my rounded mirrors, seems clear to me that these will wear out sooner than later. - The upper straps make contact with the upper Ford mirror housing - see photo - and would certainly start leaving their mark if not protected. I added felt tabs to address this - a simple fix. - These never go on in exactly the same position, and are more clunky than the stylish snap-on KS81600, but ultimately, the KS3891s seem to provide the best, broadest view on both sides of the vehicle, so I'm going to stick with them, and hope they stay on securely and without vibration, especially on the passenger side.

Hard to secure on a 2018 Ford Expedition.

We have used these mirrors for several trips. They are very easy to install and take off. Provide a very good view to back of Trailer. Price was well worth the Safety Factor!

does not fit the mirror properly on the bottom. Hope it stays on

I’m using these on my 2018 Expedition. Seems to be great so far.

I did a little over 1,000 miles this summer with these mirrors on a 2018 Ford Expedition. They held well, one downside is when that the power mirrors fold in with these attached the mirror hits the window. They could still function, but I wish they didn’t do that. Also when you put them on be cognizant of where the mirrors fold if your vehicle has powered mirrors. I could make it work just fine, but the first time I put them on I didn’t think about that.

Pros: Very easy to install. Will fit on almost anything. Cons: Bit of a challenge to adjust the in/out tilt on fixed mirror housings. Would like a little more height, but it's OK. This is a good solution for the casual user like me. Installation is painless. If you need more control over height or tilt, this is not for you.

I bought the trailer mirrors for my Jeep Grand Cherokee to pull my pull behind trailer. See pictures. The mirrors attach easily and securely and shake very little when driving. I need them mostly when backing up and I can see where the trailer tires are going. The mirrors do not adjust easily but when you do they stay in place. What I especially like is the size of the mirrors and having two independent mirrors.

Quick delivery and easy tracing. Boxed extremely well and the add on trailer mirrors were in perfect condition.

Easier to install than I expected. Minimal vibration with much-improved rearward visibilty. Easyto remove also. Does scuff the fixed mirror but controllable with wax.

I have just recieved my mirrors and am very pleased so far, they seem to fit very nice and snug with the spacer bar that fits in side the shell to lock in place, once you slide it into place. the instructions were very easy to follow, I had to make a guess that the strip of felt went on the bracket that slides against the mirror, the instructions did not say where it went. As the instructions say, it does make a little scuff mark, so clean and wax your mirror first as they suggest. I am also very pleased at the way they look on the truck, so look at my pictures and see what you think. I have not as of yet driven anywere yet to see how they are in the wind, but I feel by the way they fit all should be good.

See my review of the drivers side mirror...

Product was better than expected, the fit was good, the looks are good, I am very happy with this product,The service was fantastic, I received the product several days earlier than I was expecting. Over all I am very happy with this product. Thank you

Quick delivery. Product as described.

Great Value!!!!! Works with signal mirrors on 2007 Expedition, simple to install and remove, large mirror area compared to other universal fit mirrors. I really like them! They do vibrate a little, but that is easy to fix once you have them adjusted to your mirrors.

The good: inexpensive; decent quality materials The bad: doesn't hold it position very well during extensive or high speed travel - you have to readjust at nearly every stop for gas on a trip. Conclusion: It is worth the money due to its fair price.

The mirrors help me tow our Lance trailer safely. The adjustable mirrors benefited with a touch of dry lubricant on the joint inside the housing. Emily at etrailer was very helpful!

First set had a factory defect. The hole for the tension knob was not threaded. Replacement sent was also a defect, the mirror panel swivel was un-adjustable. Spend the extra money and get the correct OEM ones for your vehicle.

I'm not completely disappointed but unsure. When ordered, specific to 2011-2017 Expedition, this came up as fitting. When box arrived, I was shocked to see a label on box saying fits Ram Pick-up trucks! I went to CIPA website immediately for their fitment chart, thinking the wrong part was sent. Turns out CIPA doesn't make a specific mirror to mount on my vehicle. They do mount and I can "rig" them to work, but there are gaps, loose areas, etc. At $50 for (1) mirror at driver's side that is a bit much seeing as they fit perfectly on those RAM truck mirrors. etrailer website is deceiving customers in saying these mirrors fit my vehicle. Here again, if I paid $30 okay, but I paid $50 total for a mismatch, even supported by manufacturer. I hate sending things back and barely ever do, but this stinks and I have bought tons of stuff from etrailer.com.

They are very easy to install and remove when parked for extended periods. Costumer service was very helpful with getting me the correct marrows.

The instructions were simple, the mirrors were very easy to install and fit really well.

I am very satisfied with these mirrors that Erica suggested for my 2017 Ford Expedition. They fit very well and are very versatile. Backing up my travel trailer has become a breeze. Thanks Erica !!!

So far, so good. I received the CIPA mirrors today and immediately installed them. Installation instructions are straight forward. I took a test drive of about 15 miles; there was no noticeable shake or rattle and the mounts did not loosen. As with factory curbside mirrors, objects are closer than they appear with the CIPA mirrors, too. Our first trip towing is a couple weeks from now. I will update my review after the trip.

Purchased a set of Universal Towing mirrors, they were shipped quick and arrived to be exactly as advertised

2010 F150 Lining up the Thumb screw hole took a little work.. I did manage to get it all lined up With a little work and observation. I lined up the anti-slip plate with the thumb screw hole before I installed it, and marked The adjacent location with a sharpie. After realigning the thumb screw turned down all the way with little effect. Extension mirror looks sharp!! And is solid against the existing mirror.

Great product at a fair price and the best customer service on the planet! After having issues with UPS delivery resulting in them returning my shipment, Aris, the most fabulous customer service rep reached out as soon as they received it back at their facility and made sure my order went through to get these mirrors to me. She and everyone at etrailer are just great people to work with. My husband loves the mirrors, extended visibility, how easy they mount, stability, and they fold in! Highly recommend both the mirrors and the company! Thank you!!!!

I went right away to try them on my truck. I have a 24 Denali ultimate 1500 Denali and I have a couple of cameras on my side mirrors. The straps are easy to maneuver around the cameras to avoid issues there. Good snug fit I have not taken it out yet to test these in real road conditions but so far so good.

These fit fine n my 2012 Ford Expedition, but the quality of the mirrors themselves was horribly bad. The outer mirror was fine, but the large inner mirror vibrates annoyingly with just the engine running and is totally unusable going down the road. They would be ok for backing up, but not for going down the road.

Unable to tighten mirror clamps enough to eliminate mirror from shaking, preventing clear image while driving.

I asked chat what mirrors would work on my vehicle. They responded with a list of those that would work. I chose one of these. It arrived in a timely manner and worked on my vehicle. I appreciate their efforts in aiding me.

This passenger side tow mirror has the same problem that the tow mirror it replaced had. It is extremely difficult to adjust the mirror the right angle to see down the side of my trailer probably. When trying to adjust it, the mirror just pops to a new position. Most times way too far. I finally got it close and just squeezed on the edge that needed to move some more but to over all mirror angle moved then.. After quite a bit of effort I gave up. If I crook my neck and lower my shoulder just right I can see if there is a vehicle back there but thats not good. The driver's side tow mirror adjusts very smoothly and holds position. I recommend you just buy the driver's side mirror and skip this passenger side model.

I got my mirrors within 5 of ordering and took them out to the truck and they slide right on and fit perfect, took all but about 5 mins to open the box and install them. probably some of the best money i ever spent. I have power mirrors on my F150 and didn't interfer with that at all. i highly recommend these mirrors i can see perfect with them hauling our camper down the road.So much better than Ford wanting $1200.00 to replace my mirrors
