CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors Installation - 2024 Ram 1500

Hi everyone, Aidan here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and be showing you how to install the CIPA custom fit towing mirrors on our 2024 Ram 1500. Now the main feature here is that these are custom fit. All the plastics are gonna be custom molded to fit around the different shapes and contours of your Ram and it gives you a pretty solid fit overall. But one thing to note about this one compared to some other options like the ones from Longview or K-Source is that our RAM has turn signals on the factory mirrors and those different towing mirrors had cutouts so you could still see them, whereas this is one solid piece. You're gonna lose those features on your Ram if you have them.

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and be showing you how to install these K-Source Snap and Zap Custom Fit Towing Mirrors on our 2024 Ram 1500. So the big thing here is that these are custom fit, which just means all the plastic is custom molded to match the shape of your mirror. Anywhere where you've got factory blinkers or puddle lights on the bottom, you've got these cutouts and windows so you can still see them from your factory mirror, both on the front and on the bottom. So you can still have those factory features while having the towing mirror on.

It's a pretty simple installation too, just wrapping around the mirror with this lip here and clamping onto the edge on the inside.

So this is what our towing mirror is gonna look like installed on our vehicle. So this actually is specifically contour to the shape of our factory mirror. With a lot of the universal towing mirrors that use those little bulky straps that go around there and although they will fit every vehicle, they don't necessarily fit everyone well. With a custom fit towing mirror like we have here, as we said, everything is specifically contoured to the shape of the factory mirror. And this not only makes for the best overall appearance, it's also gonna make for the tightest fit.

Hey everybody, how's it going Today, we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the CIPA Custom Fit towing mirrors here on our 2021 Ram 1500. So towing mirrors are a great addition to your truck here if you find yourself to be towing frequently. Now obviously they're gonna extend our field of view, but two situations that I particularly find that to be most useful in is when you're driving on the highway, chances are when you're pulling your trailer you're not quite traveling at most normal highway speeds such as other traffic. Therefore vehicles are gonna come up on you quite fast, and you may need to get over to get your exit. And it's really just kinda hard to judge how fast those vehicles are going if they're in your blind spot or if you can get over and in time. It really is not a comfortable feeling when you have it towing a trailer, especially if you're not comfortable with it, if you don't tow often.
