Most Popular Slide-On Mirror for 1997 Ford Ranger

It should work fine. The installation was very easy and the quality seems good. I have only one reservation and that is the plastic hook used for attachment. I would feel better if it were metal instead of plastic. It gets it's first test this week.

These mirrors fit my 2001 Ranger XLT Extended Cab with manual side mirrors perfectly. As usual Etrailer shipped promptly and kept me informed through the shipping process. Dick Berry

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!

These tow mirrors are very robust and they hold up well to the elements and road vibration. However they are pretty small and don’t help very much with towing a trailer. I then got Dometic Grand Aero3 clip on tow mirrors. Those were great as the mirrors were twice as large or more than these mirrors. But the clips were junk one fell off after a few tows. I now have CIPA 45000 mirrors on my truck. They are very similiar to ford type 8 tow mirrors. These cipa 45000 mirrors took some minor fabrication but they are great. They Stick out far, very sturdy, almost no vibration, and the mirrors are huge (7.5” x 10.5”) so it makes towing easy.

the tow mirrors i had installed work great. i dont know why i waited so long to purchase them.

I'm so impressed at the quality of these mirrors (I bought both driver and passenger sides) especially at such a reasonable cost. Very simple but effective solution for me. It took about 3 minutes to install these as they fit and slide right over my existing mirrors. They were designed precisely for my vehicle so don't interfere with my power adjustments or signal lights. I'm new at pulling a large Camping trailer and needed to find something to get my field of view around both sides. Factory mirrors and such were too expensive for my budget and I don't believe they would help anymore than these.

Fits nicely over my existing mirrors and is extremely easy to install. They look great and are blend in with the existing mirror so that they look natural.

We haven't used them yet while driving the RV, but the fit is perfect! Very happy with these extenders

Really loved my cipa mirrors on my Chevy. The dodge mirrors are tight if you use the right thickness wedge. Problem I have is that if your backing up and want to pan the factory mirror down for rocks or stumps the overhanging lip of the cipa mirror stopes the factory mirror. Will have to grind some off that lip for factory mirrors tilt up or down to clear for the tilt of factory mirror.

I would like it to be extendable a bit further on the passenger side. The driver's side is fine though. The passenger side does not let one see far enough away from the side of the trailer. All in all, I like it better than drilling holes into the doors of my pickup to install huge mirrors. These look way better and are sufficient.

Not long after putting on the truck, the mirror fell off

The mirrors fit my 1997 Ford F250 HD perfectly. The threaded clips and threaded nob are cheap. The plastic threads that tighten the mirror to the vehicle are easily damaged. Mirrors would be better if the clips were made better. Giving 4 stars based on the flimsy clips.

The concept is great, however the connection to the mirror has a plastic screw, not the ones shown here in the picture which look to be metal. I have not even used the mirrors and first time removing them, the plastic screw (why??) breaks.

I like these but I would have given them 4.5 stars if possible and I'll explain below. The shipping was fast. They arrived in good shape. Right out of the box the construction didn't inspire confidence, these are lightweight. They slide on horizontally to the OEM mirror & fit snuggly, then a wedge is tightened in place between the tow mirror and the OEM mirror to prevent the tow mirror from sliding back off. The tow mirrors are easy to install and from a short distance look better than some of the other "clamp-on" styles. A plus! I have tried these a couple of times at speeds of up to 80mph (we can do that in Idaho), and yes, I don't plan to tow a trailer that fast but a strong headwind would easily exceed an 80 or 90mph effective speed. (we get that in Idaho too) During the tests they performed well, never loosened, no noticeable vibrations in the view. I was impressed. Overall, I would buy these again and recommend to a friend.

I had the mirrors for about four months and one of the mirrors just fell off was not happy. Obviously it shattered on the ground. The adhesive is very cheap on them called customer service. They sent me out a new one, but was told this happens quite often with those. I think the adhesive Hass to be better.

Good mirrors for towing 28 ft travel trailer... Only got 3 star as first trip went we went to leave on thursday 5-25 for our first trip and went to put on and the passanger mirror was missing the screw to hold it on so i had to zip tie it on...on tuesday i will be calling to see about getting a replacement screw for next trip and will see how customer service is...

The towing mirrors are an exact fit. I was going to only use them when I towed my trailer but decided to keep them on permanently. They look Really good.

I bought the hitch for my grandson’s ranger pickup. I read the directions and installed the hitch in about 15 minutes. There was no drilling required so that saved a lot of time. Great product

These mirrors helped tremendously when towing my Micro Minnie travel trailer versus stock mirrors on my GMC SIERRA 1500. The extended mirrors enabled to better determine when it was safe to move back into my lane after passing a vehicle and allowed me to see better the vehicles behind trailer. Although there was an occasional slight vibration in the passenger side mirror, it did not disrupt the usability of the mirrors. The towing mirrors took only a minute or two to install and fit perfectly on the stock mirrors. Adjusting them properly takes a little more time and is easier when a second person helps. I am extremely pleased with this purchase!

It should work fine. The installation was very easy and the quality seems good. I have only one reservation and that is the plastic hook used for attachment. I would feel better if it were metal instead of plastic. It gets it's first test this week.

The mirror may work great but the attachment device is not so great! I lost the first mirror while traveling so replaced it with the CIPA. On the very next trip, I lost this mirror also. So I must say I am not happy with the product.

Mirrors fit the old ford 96 F250 like a glove

I have just recieved my mirrors and am very pleased so far, they seem to fit very nice and snug with the spacer bar that fits in side the shell to lock in place, once you slide it into place. the instructions were very easy to follow, I had to make a guess that the strip of felt went on the bracket that slides against the mirror, the instructions did not say where it went. As the instructions say, it does make a little scuff mark, so clean and wax your mirror first as they suggest. I am also very pleased at the way they look on the truck, so look at my pictures and see what you think. I have not as of yet driven anywere yet to see how they are in the wind, but I feel by the way they fit all should be good.

See my review of the drivers side mirror...

These fit well and installed easily and quickly. Drivers side is stable and rock solid however; passenger side has a vibration at speed that I have not been able to eliminate yet. All in all, a great purchase that provides good views down both sides of our 24' trailer and the traffic behind. The mirrors look fine and are not at all obviously large or obtrusive.

I am new at towing a camper that is larger than the width of my F-150. After reviewing all the towing mirrors, I decided on the CIPA Custom. They attached over my existing mirrors easily and rode steady. I noticed very little vibration, even on rough roads. Exceptional product for temporary use.

These mirrors are excellent. They are incredibly easy and quick to install and remove, provide a great view around the trailer, and there's virtually no vibration when underway. Worth every penny and then some.

These are very easy to put on and take off. Very easy to adjust, and they look great on my truck too. I read other reviews of these that stated there was vibration during driving, but I did not experience that with mine. I would absolutely buy them again.

I've run these mirrors a few thousand km now, they work great. They don't vibrate much, and go on and off easily. No complaints, I would recommend these if you don't want to bolt big extendable tow mirrors on your 90's chevy

Installation was very easy and secure. On test run there was no vibration angles remain constant for easy rearview examination

Fast service perfect fit.

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.

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
