Best 1990 Dodge Dakota Towing Mirrors

Just returned from the first trip using K-Source tow mirrors. They worked great. At first I was a little confused with figuring out how the ratcheting straps worked. However once I fingered that out I found that they mount onto my existing mirrors quickly and easily. They greatly increased rear visibility. Being able to use the existing mirrors and the tow mirrors was a a benefit.

The mirrors are well made however I could not get the mirrors to mount on my 2004 Dodge Dakota. It appears from all the information I could find is that the 5x7 mirrors are the problem. No one seems to make custom fit towing for this size mirror. I was afraid the mirrors would fall off.

Unfortunately had to return the Custom-Towing-Mirrors: CIPA CM10500 because they did not fit over my 2001 Dodge Dakota factory mirrors. Will have to try another brand/model.

These are the best removable towing mirrors I've used, and I've gone through a few different kinds over the years. They look great on the truck, almost like stock towing mirrors at first glance. They have decent viewing area, low distortion & clear image, minimal vibration, and seem to stay aimed in position pretty well. They block the slightest amount of the stock mirrors at top and bottom on my model...not enough to matter. Also, ETRAILER shipped them to me FAST, and that was with economy shipping option!

I put these on my 2001 Dodge Dakota and they work great. I’m actually able to see cars when they pass me. They are very sturdy. Hardly any movement on the freeway doing 75 mph. I have t had to readjust them at all after installing them. I just wish for my application that they were a little longer because my truck is so small and my trailer is pretty wide

Excellent products! Quick delivery!

A good product that works well

These were exactly as advertised and a good value. They work well on my 2500 dodge ram diesel towing a 35 travel trailer Just in time for my trip to EAA Air venture at oshkosh. they let you see around the side of the trailer as the stock mirrors do not. A word on installation EASY. Great costumer service, I will do business with again. Thanks Steve M

I ordered the outside mirror extensions for my Dodge truck. I was a little skeptical about how sturdy they would be after installation. Received them in 3 days, installed them and they work perfect. Easy to install, and extremely secure. Also, easy to remove. I give them a five star rating, and six stars to etrailer for their excellent customer service. I will order from them again, and tell all my friends.

Helped, not as much as I thought, but this being the first trailer, may have to fiddle with them to find the right spot. Thanks for getting them to me, they came in the day we went to close the deal and pick it up. Will certainly be back for additional equipment.

The mirrors attach per the instructions, but the part of the mirror housing that goes over the existing mirror does not fit securely to the housing of the existing mirror. I have nylon tie-wraps squeezing my extended mirror frames to make them catch the existing mirror housing to maintain the clamp effect for the tightening mechanism.

I purchased both right and left mirrors from etrailer.com, along with a hitch. I was surprised that the shipment arrived a day earlier than the the expedited arrival date I was quoted - for no additional fee! I installed the mirrors-using all included parts-and took the truck for a test drive. There was some vibration in the add-on mirrors, but not anything like what I was lead to expect. Maybe some of the other users didn't apply the sticky backed cloth, or didn't align the slot in the brace with the tab in the mirror case properly. I took the time to look at it closely and I'm very pleased, except for the minor vibration. I did screw the retainer screws all the way down to the bottom-with no cracking or splitting of anything-and the add-on mirrors seem to work just fine. Thank you etrailer for your service and CIPA for a well engineered, inexpensive set of mirrors.

Very happy with the mirrors. The contour fits perfectly to the existing original remote control mirrors with no interference with the adjustment function. Saved a bundle over replacing the original non-towing mirrors.

Great service – shipped fast – good tracking – good price. Seem to fit very well with no vibration. They have to be better than the ones with the rubber straps I have been using. Will know more after first long trip.

I used these for a 3 month trip across Canada and the U.S. and they worked great. The fit was a bit loose for the mirrors on my original 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel but being handy I put some extra self adhesive padding on the inside and built up the mirror arm with electrical tape to make sure the mirror clip would be snug. Those that aren't handy may get frustrated.

The CTM3100 fits great on my 1995 Dodge 2500. I've attached a photo of the mirror attached to the driver side. The mirror extends about 4" - 5" past the factory mirror.

After two months I was towing a trailer through Florida when one of the rubber straps broke sending onto the roadway. I then order another set of mirrors that slide onto the original mirrors, that worked great and look like original to the truck. I just leave them on all year long and the price was only a few dollars more. I would not recommend this product.

I really like the way your product KS3990 looked,and the ease to install.The mounting straps made everything so easy.I was having a hard time finding mirrors to fit a2007 Dodge Dakota.Thank You again.

These towing mirrors are good quality and easy to attach to the mirrors on my truck.

Finally, we got extended mirrors for our 2016 Sequoia. OEM mirrors are manageable but inefficient when backing up or switching lanes with a Travel Trailer. The only issue with the extended mirrors is that they vibrate to the extent you get hypnotized. They work best at slow speeds, backing in campgrounds or switching lanes at slow speeds. Sixty-five miles, forget it. Use your best judgment. If the mirrors are well molded into place, the vibration may be minimized. The team at etrailer, from start to finish, was fabulous. Thanks

These mirrors are awsome! 2001 Dakota. They will mount on top or bottom of factory mirrors, great view and no shaking. Quality product and great price! ! Thanks Etrailer

Kudos to the folks that designed these mirrors. I have worked in the automotive repair business for over 50yrs, I've seen trash parts and good parts. These mirrors are excellent quality and they fit my 2006 Dodge Dakota crew cab like a silk glove, also the stock electric mirrors are still able to be adjusted no interference from the clamps on the extension mirrors. Great product, thank you

It works fine on my 2007 Dakota

1997 Dodge Ram 2500…… Easy to install and they look good.

I needed extended mirrors only when towing large RV behind my pickup truck. These worked as well as expected. Easy on and off. Store behind my front seat.

Not a good mirror. Second time using it fell off my car and smashed in road. Thank goodness it did not hit another car. The foam pads slid off and you can not get a good grip. I returned and they are sending me same one, because it was after 30 days.

Fit mostly well on vehicle. Have not used on road yet. Time will tell

The mirrors install and are removed easily. Great visibility with little vibration.

Easy to install. Excellent fit. Good quality for the price. Have not yet made long trip, but vibration not an issue so far.

They are ok for what they are. Easy to install and remove. They do not show as much as I thought but enough since I dont have factory tow mirrors.

I ordered these mirrors for my car in Oct 2021 at which time the website indicated they would fit my car. I only need them for towing during the summer so did not even open the boxes until this week, April 2022. Imagine my surprise to find out that the mirrors do NOT fit my car. I immediately sent an e-mail requesting process to return and exchange for mirrors that would fit. Today I received a response stating sorry they don't fit but our returns policy is 60 days and I was outside of that time. I should try selling them locally! I could understand if the mirrors were no longer carried by etrailer but they are still in stock. And I'm not asking for a refund but an exchange. Very disappointed in this company!

Ordered towing mirrors email communication and tracking shipping was great. Installed mirrors on truck. Easy to install took a ride on the freeway to test them out. I think they will work out fine so far very satisfied .

Mirrors are easy to take on and off and feel very secure. Which makes them work very well for towing my camp trailer during the summer. i do question longevity of these mirrors because attachment is based on tension of a plastic threaded bolt.

These mirrors seem to be well-made and are advertised as fitting all Ford vans from 1997 - 2002. I own a 1999 E350, and while the mirrors slide over the existing mirrors, they do not quite match the external shape of my mirrors - which are the stock factory mirrors . My mirrors are also a bit wider than these mirrors were designed for, so the hole for the attaching clamp does not extend far enough to the inside for the provided attachment clamp to fit through it. I was able to fabricate a clamp using a large picture hangar hook, a 3.5 inch 10-32 bolt, an aluminum sleeve cut at 45 degrees, a couple of washers and a nut, so I will be able to use the mirrors, but it has taken a bit of doing. Can't really find anything else other than complete factory mirror replacement, so for me, they should do the job.

The KS81600 (pair) snap-on mirrors mounted quickly and fit snug and beautifully to my 1999 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer Series with contoured mirrors, and did not impede the existing Ford mirrors whatsoever. However, I have a problem with the focal distance of the passenger side KS81600 mirror that I received. See photos. It's magnification is quite different from the truck mirror, and shows only a small, magnified area of the distant background. In contrast, the KS81600 driver side mirror has a similar focal distance as the Ford driver side mirror, offering more of a long and broader view. I could live with the driver side view, but not the passenger side. I'm unsure if this difference is intentional or a product error/mis-match. I've contacted the eTrailer experts on the matter. Alternately, I also ordered a pair of the KS3891 "clip-on" mirrors, with the ratchet system. While I think this product offers a much broader view on both sides of the vehicle, they are not near as easy to put on as the KS81600, never quite go on in exactly the same position, and are not a perfect fit to my contoured Ford mirrors on the passenger side. In addition, the thicker clamps of the KS3891 make contact with the Ford mirror glass and impede my ability to fully adjust them. I will post a separate review of them. The KS81600 is a much cleaner, easier product to install and secure. Unfortunately, the focal distance issue is a deal killer for me, and I'll probably keep the KS3891 which provide a broader view on both sides of my rig.

Easy to put on,and look good also.

These mirrors are an inexpensive alternative to full replacement mirrors. Easy installation and great directions make a perfect fit. They were delivered fast and service was friendly. I will definitely order from etrailer again. Thanks!!!

Mirrors fit very well right over stock mirrors and look very nice. Etrailer kept me informed thru out entire order. Very happy with their service. I will order from them again.
