• Do CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors for 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat Have Flat Glass
  Hello Fred; the CIPA # CM11551 or # CM11550 for the pair do not have flat glass but they are compatible with the Lariat model. If you would like to have flat glass I recommend the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS81850. The only reason these won't fit your 2016 F-150 is if you have extendable or telescoping mirrors.

• Differences Between Snap-On And Slip-On Tow Mirror Extensions
  The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors part # KS81850 are snap on side mirror extensions whereas the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550 are slip on.

  Either one of the CIPA # CM11550 or Longview # LVT-2300-C towing mirrors will work well for you. As you pointed out, the CIPA mirror will allow more of the mirror's turn signal to be visible.

The attachment method for either mirror would...

• Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2011 Dodge Nitro
  I do have towing mirror options for you but they do not offer any custom fit mirrors for your 2011 Dodge Nitro therefore the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550 (Ford F-150) will not work.

• Towing MIrrors to Fit a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL
  Since you didn't like the # KS3891 mirrors your next best option is the CIPA # CM11980-2 mirrors. We did test these on a JK, as shown in the video and picture, but not the JL yet. You need about a 1 inch gap between the top of the mirror face in between the black plastic housing for these to work. The CIPA custom mirrors you asked about, part # CM11550, definitely will not fit your JL. They're specifically designed for Ford F-150's from 2015-2019.
