This wedge wraps around the inside edge of your OEM mirror and can be tightened onto the mirror with an easily accessible hand knob.

This product came very quick. I like the way it slips on and locks in so easily. I will be towing a camper trailer to hopefully somewhat secluded camp sites. These extended mirrors are perfect for my needs. Looking around at what kind of extended mirrors work best, these are consistently rated very high. I would not have any problem ordering from these guys again

These trailering mirror extensions were purchased as a gift, however they fit perfectly on my dad's Ford F-350. Much cheaper than factory mirror extensions and perfect for his application.

Received these just in time for a trip. They install in a few minutes and fit very well. These mirrors give you a much wider view behind you and even makes backing easier. They stayed on and were still tight after 250 miles.

The mirrors have worked out great. I was concerned that this style of add-on mirror would vibrate excessively or come loose, but neither has happened. They provide a much better view than my stock mirrors and I?ve been quite satisfied with them.

I received a Ford product towing mirror. I thought I ordered a towing mirror for my GMC 2500 Sierra SLE, but received the Ford towing mirror instead. etrailer substituted the Ford mirror in lieu of providing the correct product for my GMC pick-up. I contacted them and stated my issue, they responded and said the product I received would not fit my GMC pick-up and offered other solutions.

I have been able to confirm that the towing mirror that you have ordered is not a confirmed fit for your 2003 GMC Sierra. Our customer service department is currently working on getting you set up for the return process.

Very good product. No vibration, has not slipped. Stays in place. Only very minor problem is that the added weight causes the mirrors to bounce on rough roads. Very good product.

So glad I found these mirror extenders! Super easy to install and worked beautifully. We just did a 2000 mile trip pulling my trailer with no issues. The mirrors allow me to make safe lane changes.

@Pierre Nice! thanks for your feedback and we appreciate you choosing etrailer.

The CIPA mirrors for the Toyota Sequoia fit well. Adding a mini bungi cord for additional stability and security is a big help. However, I find the CIPA mirror too small to be of much use. I still rely on the OEM Toyota mirrors when driving and setting up. The CIPA mirrors may be more useful on other makes of tow vehicles.

We ordered these based off previous reviews. Glad we did! They fit perfectly on our 2016 Dodge Ram truck. They just slide on!!! The price is so reasonable!!

The new towing mirrors look great! Slide on mirrors are the best because they're so easy to install and almost never need to be adjusted. I hope they serve you well for many trips to come!

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.

3500 miles later.. works like day one! Great product.

by:
They don't fit very well on my 2018 Ram. They extend towards to door past the edge of the original mirror and it has to go that far in order to get the retaining block in. That causes the truck mirrors to be covered about 1/2 inch. They also keep the mirrors from folding all the way. Having said that, they are still better than the strap on type because they don't vibrate.

Note: This is a duplicate review, as I purchased both the driver and passenger towing mirrors, photos have been submitted with the driver side mirror review...I received my order in 2 days, product looks good, matches the factory mirrors perfectly on my 2005 Silverado. Fit is tight, no movement after they're installed. The extended mirror stays put after adjustment, allows me to see both sides of my trailer and the traffic behind me. I think a slightly convex mirror on the passenger side would be a benefit, but I am very satisfied with the product. Made in the USA is a bonus! I would highly recommend this product and purchasing from eTrailer.

Pleased to know this is the second set of these mirrors I have had on this 23 year old truck. The first set last 12 years. Very durable and helps to cover the blind spots while towing.

Sadly, I traded the 23 year old truck in with the mirrors. They worked perfect!

by:
I’ve been using these for about a year now and I am very pleased. They look sleek and mostly keep a factory OEM appearance. The slip-on tow mirrors are a good and affordable option for people like me that are not towing everyday. The main goal was to get some extra width/extension to my view to allow for better visibility when towing my 25’ camper. Sure, an entire tow mirror replacement would work better but for the low cost and convenience of easy removal these are a great option. I’m very pleased. So far the plastic locking screw is holding up well and shows no signs of fatigue, holding it tightly against my factory mirrors.

I have purchased from etrailer.com before and was happy with their service. I was across country moving my son back to Idaho from Illinois and needed mirrors for towing a large utility trailer. Ordered from etrailer and unbeknownst to me, they were just down the road in Missouri. Had them the next day and am pleased with product. I’ll be using them again.

No problems with this mirror extension. I have a '24 Ram 1500 classic. Trailer us 8ft wide. This gave a better view than standard mirror. Be aware, left and right sold separately. Nice part is taking them off when you're not pulling the rig.

  • Tow Mirror Solution for 2019 Ford Expedition XLT with Folding Mirrors
    For your 2019 Ford Expedition with folding mirrors we have towing mirrors that will work great like the CIPA part # CM11980-2 which will allow the mirrors to still fold but we do not have a slip on style for your vehicle at this time. I attached a picture that shows what these mirrors look like installed on a similar Expedition as well as a review video for you to check out too.

  • Universal-Fit Towing Mirrors for 2017 Buick Enclave
    For your 2017 Buick Enclave I recommend the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror set # KS3891-2. These mirrors clip on to your OEM mirror's housings to provide you with a wider field of view when towing your trailer. Their ratcheting strap system creates a snug fit to reduce vibration and they install without tools. Please see the linked video. If you prefer a dual-lens type mirror then please consider set # KS3990. I also linked our main page for all accessories items we have for your Enclave.

    At this time (April 2019) there aren't any custom fit slip-on style mirrors available for your 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 since they were redesigned this year. Best option is a door mounted mirror like the Wheel Masters # WM6600-2 which we know will work. This attaches to the door like the name implies and gives you a wider and very stable viewing angle which will be very helpful when towing.
