Custom, power towing mirror replaces the driver's-side mirror on your vehicle. The mirror telescopes out to extend your line of sight. A turn signal is built into the mirror housing, and the heated glass clears frost and ice.
Features:
Specs:
Note: The power remote capability, heated glass, and turn signal of this mirror will work only if your vehicle already has those functions.
This telescoping towing mirror replaces your OEM side-view mirror and provides the extended view needed for safe towing. Now you can change lanes, merge, and pass other cars with confidence, even with a trailer in tow.
The mirror face on the custom mirror can be pulled out to give you an extended field of vision for towing. Simply push the mirror back for regular use.
The entire mirror housing conveniently folds toward your vehicle for easy parking or maneuvering in tight spaces.
Ratings & Reviews
Easy install. Came with all hardware incase you drop and/or lose the existing hardware while uninstalling OEM mirrors. No shakes or rattles. Top portion is power adjustable, bottom is manual adjust for viewing angles.
My truck is a Limited and has Blind Spot Alert (BSA) & Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA). These 2 features are lost and throw a dash light to see dealer. The warning is annoying, it towing visibility is more important. I'll follow up with my dealer (who actually recommends these mirrors) to see if the dash lights for these 2 systems can be deactivated.
Received the mirrors quickly and well packaged.
They seem well built and were easy to install! The hardest part of the installation was removing the trim behind the inside door handles! I took a quick look at a YouTube video and it took about an hour and a half.
No shaking or vibrating and I gained puddle lights. They are larger and a little wider than stock when in their collapsed position and give great view when expanded.
I would recommend
Watched several videos online for door panel removal. Literally took 3 tools. Flat head screwdriver, needle nose pliers and a 10mm socket with extension. Having never done anything like this, it took 2 hours to install both mirrors by myself.
2011 Silverado 1500 crew cab had standard power adjust mirrors. No turn signals as originally equipped.
Was surprised to gain turn signals in the mirrors as all I did was plug and play. Power adjust works. So I can confirm 2 of 3 features work. Turn signal function an added bonus/new option and power adjustment. Truck doesn't have a heated mirror on off. So not sure that will be working.
Seem to be made of good quality. The mirrors tuck in easily towards the vehicle so they are not sticking out when parked. This is not a powered fold in mirror. It is manual.
Added this for towing. With 20+ inches that should give great line of site down the trailer and also the signal in the mirror alert others that you intend to move over.
Product is exactly as expected. Install was simple. All bolts line up with existing holes in vehicle frame. Ensure you apply the weather stripping on the mirror before install. Pictures and videos online are helpful. Side marker lights and turning signal works on mirrors. Great product! Attached are 3 photos.
What a great upgrade for my 2015 Toyota Tundra SR5! Perfect fit. Only took about 15 minutes per mirror to replace them. I didn't have blinkers or clearance lights on my stock mirrors, but these mirrors plugged right in and now I do. I do confess that they are taking me some time to get used to, but I can now see where my tire hits the ground and still have full view of the side of my truck. I can't wait to use them to pull my new travel trailer. I will no longer be a nervous wreck, constantly adjusting my mirrors so that I don't run into something. The biggest problem I see is that I can no longer park in my parking lot at work without getting out of my truck to fold the mirrors in. I'm not certain, but I would guess they add about 4-5 inches width on each side of the truck. I'm ok with that, because these things are a necessity when towing a big trailer. Thanks Etrailer!
Great product. Installed easily. Works as advertised.
'09 Silverado C1500. I started with the CIPA Slip On mirror extenders, they were okay, economical, but didn't feel I could see along the curb side of the trailer well enough. It was always a guess as to whenI had overtaken a vehicle before making the lane change to the right. Recently bit the bullet and laid out the cash for the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors. Wish I would have done this sooner!
I have read reviews about these type replacement mirrors with some noting a shaking or vibration in the main mirror. These are rock solid. I have also seen reference to the mirrors canted upward, arms not parallel to the ground, NOT the case for these when installed on my '09 Silverado. To those not familiar with what was standard for this year model, you could mistake them for OEM. FIt is perfect.
It took a couple drives to get use to the vertical height, as compared to the horizontal width of the OEM mirrors. While a bit of a trade-off, one that I see as well worth it. It has been easy to get the driver side dialed in to completely eliminate the blind spot, still adjusting the passenger side mirror to find that sweet spot to eliminate the blind spot while still maintaining the ability to see the trailer wheels to know where they are tracking.
Haven't towed the 5th wheel yet, will post an update but am confident I will have the visibility along the passenger side to better gauge lane changes to the right.
The service from etrailer was great like always.
These mirrors are for our 03 Yukon for towing a travel trailer.They are condsiderably larger than the OEM mirrors in the collapsed position, the once extended they are almost twice as long.
The only problem I had is the directions are a bit generic and tell you to pry the power window switch panel from the door panel to access the wiring. The picture supplied shows the lock panel being pried off which is correct but the power window is screwed in from the backside so the door panel needs to be removed and then reach behind it to remove the wiring.
Installed on 2008 Gmc Sierra Sle. OEM mirrors were power adjust with defrost function. New mirror allowed me to add the turn signal function, however I did check the wiring harness to ensure it was compatible to take this function before the purchase. New mirrors were good quality just as good as OEM if not better. Installed they definately enhance the trucks overall appearance. I will be using these to tow a 30’ travel trailer so the larger mirror surface will help with visibility of the trailer. The only con is the main mirror in the housing does slightly vibrate when hitting bumps in the road, its very minor though and otherwise is stable on smooth surfaces.
Very quick delivery, perfect fit, plug and play, very easy Instalation, looks factory on my 2019 Tundra. Just what the doctor ordered. Thank you for the great service and fantastic product.
Great mirrors, simple plug and play on 21 tundra. Simple install, looks amazing. Lights work, power adjusting works and defrost
These are Quality Mirrors, very sturdy. Took me about an hour on the first side, (learning curve) but the second side was 1/2 of that. Makes the truck look great and can't believe what a difference they make for field of view. As for function my truck was set up for the turn signal and power mirrors and they work great.
This was a fairly easy job, although ripping off the door panels was a little unnerving.
My truck is a 2011 Tundra and had electric/heated mirrors. I was pleasantly surprised that the built in turn signal and running lights now work! Everything was plug and play! Love them!
Mirrors came quickly and undamaged. They were well packed.
Dena at etrailer was helpful and professional.
Mirrors are well built. A quality product. I had my local truck
maintenance shop install them. No vibration when driving.
A huge improvement over stock mirrors that I used towing on a
4900 mile trip. These mirrors will make passing 18 wheelers and
other vehicles easier and safer when I’m towing. Money well spent.
Very easy install. All functions work even the running lights and turn signals which my factory mirrors didn't have. Will update review after first camping trip to see how they perform with the travel trailer. Installed on 2021 Tundra.
Installed successfully on 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, replacing factory mirrors that were power adjustable and heated - no turn signal. Motorized mirror adjustments worked fine. Haven't tested heated mirror yet. Since I did not previously have turn signals in my mirrors, the turn signals did not work on these as expected. May look into a way to make them work later, but no big deal. One improvement that could be made on these mirrors. The manufacturer is aware that the factory mirrors use 3 bolts, and these use 4. It would be nice if they would have included a nut for the 4th bolt, so I wouldn't have had to go search for one. One good thing, on my truck the hole was already there for the 4th bolt, so I didn't have to drill. Taking a trip tomorrow, so will see how they perform on the road. So far as what I have seen, I am happy with this purchase. I have used etrailer in the past and have always been happy with the products they offer.
The mirrors look and fit awesome. i got an added bonus as my 08 Tundra was not supposed to be wired for turn signals. Well I ended up with heated,power marker lights and signals. all is good except fot the broken top corner on the PS. found part in box and glued it. chalk this up to shipping handling.
The mirrors work great. Nice and sturdy at 70mph even in the slid out position. Installing was straight forward, but took me few hours as I was leaning how to disassemble the door panels for the first time. This is a huge upgrade for a truck with a pickup camper. The small factory mirrors where not cutting it.
These extendable mirrors for my 2012 Ford Raptor SVT were a perfect fit. I can now safely see all blind spots that I couldn’t see before. Fairly priced and highly recommended.
Great product and easy install. Mirrors look great
I always wait for a period of time before writing a review to ensure I don't encounter problems shortly after receiving and using a product. I purchased this in the middle of December 2019, so I have been using it was several months.
I purchased the outside mirror to replace a broken one on my Toyota Tundra. Received the mirror in a timely manner, and it met its description perfectly.
Although I perform some repairs on my vehicles, by no means am I a mechanic or body repairman, I was able to remove the old mirror and install the new one in about 30 minutes. In the future I will not hesitate to order from etrailer for additional needs.

I had the mirror over a year, and I did not encounter a single problem. I used the truck for pulling a travel trailer, so I was continually extending the mirror when towing, and folding the mirror in when parking in town and in my garage. Never a problem.
