Custom-Fit Towing Mirror
Easily extend your field of vision and reduce blind spots with this CIPA slip-on towing mirror. By adding it to your OEM side-view mirror, you can see beyond the end of your trailer. This will allow you to safely and easily change lanes, pass, and park with a trailer in tow.
The mirror is molded to perfectly match the contours of your factory side mirror. Simply slide the mirror over your side-view mirror and use the custom-formed, felt-covered wedge to hold the mirror in place. This wedge wraps around the inside edge of your OEM mirror and can be tightened onto the mirror with an easily accessible hand knob.

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.
These are also pretty bulky compared to those other custom options. And one of the issues with that is seeing this bottom corner when you try to fold the mirror in, it does make contact your vehicle and you can't fully fold your mirrors in. They can leave them here, it'll save space. But if you wanted to pull into a parking spot and fully fold these in so that you just don't have to worry about it sticking out so far, these ones aren't gonna do it the best. Now the main reason you're getting towing mirrors though is to widen your field of view.
The factory mirrors on your Ram do have that small blind spot mirror in the upper corner and that will help, but they're small, and it's gonna be hard to see things. To their credit, these mirrors from CIPA have a really large mirror face and will help give you that wider field of view. The larger mirror face will just make it easier to see things and help you make lane changes, turns, and park just a little bit easier. And when comparing this to a universal mirror, it's still gonna be leaps and bounds more stable and secure. So you're gonna get less rattle and vibration going down the road, meaning that you get a clearer and easier view through the mirror.
Now you can get these at a pair or you can get these individually. So if you just want the driver side, you can just pick up the driver side. And same goes for the passenger. They install the exact same way though. This is the passenger side that we'll show you right now.
And the only thing you really need to take note of is this threaded hole, it'll be towards the top. We'll slide the CIPA mirror over our factory mirror and push it forward as far as it'll go. And I'm just gonna start this hand knob here and thread it down a little bit because eventually what that's gonna do is push on the backside of this wedge piece and basically lock the towing mirror in place. But I'll thread that down and just feel on the inside to make sure it doesn't actually start poking out. That way it's a little easier when we slide that wedge piece in. And on the wedge, the thicker part is gonna be facing up. So that'll line up. There's a lip on the inside that we can push against. Push that in and thread that further. We should feel it kind of grab on. And if I can still pull this out, I means things are probably not super well lined up. Just back that out and keep threading it in until I get it to line up where I want it. This part's really tricky 'cause you're just going in blind. Once you do have it lined up, just thread it down the rest of the way till it stops and give it a good shake test. There's gonna be a little bit of wiggle room in here, but I can't actually pull that off. So we know that wedge is doing its job and it's hooked onto the mirror properly. So overall, if I'm being honest, it's not my favorite. It's not the easiest install, it's not the best fit, and it doesn't give you really the largest mirror face. I'd say it comes pretty much in line with the K-Source mirror that's equally as large. So you're gonna get pretty similar visibility out of both of them. But where the K-Source really separates itself is a much more solid install, a much better custom fit. And in my mind, that makes it a much better mirror and a better fit for the Ram. But if you're just looking for an upgrade over some universal mirrors or you maybe just need the one side, you're really not too concerned with getting a pair, then maybe the CIPA set could be the one for you in your 2024 Ram 1500. Thanks for watching.
Ratings & Reviews
The installation of these mirrors was so simple. I was amazed at how quickly they were installed. It took me longer to open the box than it did to install. I do recommend getting a pair to anyone
I'm sorry, but you guys sent the wrong item for my 2013 Ram 2500. I'm beginning to wonder if my truck may not need them, as I already have 2 sets of mirrors on my truck, and when I hauled my RV over the weekend, I could see the vehicle behind me. I was pretty amazed, seeing as they really don't stick out that far. I need to send them back.
Great product and fast shipping.
Excellent product! Fits perfectly on the mirrors of my 1995 F250. Took maybe five minutes to install both mirrors.Both fit very snugly.
This is my third Cipa towing mirror. It appears to be identical to the others, including the fact that the mirror can’t be folded in on my 2013 Toyota Sequoia, despite claims by Cipa that it can be. I’ve attached some photos that show how I modified the housing so it would clear the vehicle mirror mount. It took less than a hour, but it’s disappointing that such a basic feature is wrongly claimed to exist.
Otherwise, the mirror is sturdy, mounts tightly to the parent mirror, and provides an improved view to the rear and adjacent travel lane.
This would be a five-star review if not for that lack of functionality.
The extension mirrors were eazy to install and look great.
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 ordered the mirror extenders for our 2016 Ram 1500. They fit perfectly. I think they're going to work really well while pulling our new trailer.
They are fine for the price but hard to adjust the mirror itself after installation. I’ll be installing the bigger factory trailer mirrors pretty soon.
Great mirror extensions for my Sequoia. I can actually see who’s behind my 25’ travel trailer.
These extenders fit like a glove! Very happy with my purchase and the peace of mind that came with it.
Bought the CIPA extended trailering mirrors. Look really nice, look like the OEM mirrors. Solid fit. Read the instructions for the cushioning placement and get it right and they fit nice. The extended mirror is flat not convex like the usual mirrors so things appear a little different
, but I got used to it quickly. Buy them you’ll be glad!
Price was good the shipping was on time. The mirrors work great for my 23 ft, camper trailer pulled with a 04 suburban, the only problem I had was the left mirror would not adjust. A little 3in 1 and moving it freed it up and it is fine.
These towing mirrors work as they should, also look fantastic on the pickup, like they have always been there ... ??????
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.
After a little snafu with shipping I received the mirrors and am very happy with them. They fit my Toyota Tundra perfectly and actually look good. Unlike the strap on kind of mirror extensions. They don't vibrate while driving so give a clear view.
I am very happy with these mirror extensions.
Our CIPA Custom towing mirrors arrived very quickly, well packaged with appearance as described, excellent quality. We tried them on our 2020 GMC Sierra Denali and they fit great and will be an extra set of eyes when we are towing our 2021 Riverside Retro trailer to see her better when traveling , backing up etc. We are so happy and will be back for more at etrailer, thank you!
We use these mirrors all of the time when we tow. They fit our Ford F150 truck mirrors like a glove. Unfortunately they can loosen up when traveling so you will need to check the screw on each mirror before traveling to your next destination. We have lost 2 of these in the 6 years we have had our camper for that very reason.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
Condition: Installed
Notes: This mirror has previously been installed for a test fit. Otherwise, new and unused.
