Best 2003 Ford Explorer Towing Mirrors

Aside from some of my fat fingered fumbling, these mirrors went on in a snap. Easily went on my 2003 Explorer Sportrac, fit perfectly and stayed securely attached. All this and reasonably priced. Another plus was how fast I received the product after ordered. Sooner than I expected. Had my first outing with them on this weekend. Pulling the boat was a great improvement to my view of the boat and traffic behind me.

1997 Ford Explorer XLT This will be getting a 3/5 from me. Fitment is good, no issues slipping them onto my original mirrors. They do vibrate a lot though. When driving, really can't focus on them. But overall they will do.

Easy to install on my 2003 Ford Explorer. Build quality is excellent. Haven't driven with them yet but not anticipating any problems. Shipping was crazy-fast. 2 thumbs up to etrailer! Keep up the good work guys!

Product seems well-built, unfortunately it does not fit a 1997 Ford Explorer. The factory mirrors have a triangular cut-out on the lower edge, and the mounting clips are about an inch too far apart to properly engage. The mounting clips are fixed and can't be adjusted closer together, so this is going back.

I would give the product a 5 if they had instructions with the product. Once I figured out how to install, I was happy with the way they fastened and they worked very well.

Had no options for extended mirrors on my explorer to pull my new 8.8 wide 26 ft enclosed trailer, after really pretty easy getting them on I could then see own both sides or the trailer , did the trick for me and the great part is when you call etrailer and explain things they are very knowledgeable and get it done

These mirrors work wonderfully! I put them on a Ford Explorer and they stay put. I tried another type and they would not stay. These are perfect. They ratchet down and don't loosen up.

Beware of buying anything from etrailer! I ordered these mirrors and they do not fit. I had two etrailer employees tell me that based on the pictures I sent them that they do fit! Only one strap is holding the mirror on as the second strap slides off the car factor mirror.

The mirrors are very secure to the mirrors on our Ford Explorer Sport Track. It make hauling our 25' travel trailer much easier to see traffic.

Easy mounting for our vehicle

Does not fit well on my truck, mirror shakes so much at highway speeds its practically useless

My rating is less to do with the product and more with etrailer. I ordered an identical mirror (CIPA model 11950) on amazon for less than half the price, 1 day shipping, free delivery, and it did not fit my vehicle so I bought the one etrailer recommended for my vehicle. I thought it was CIPA model 7070 but that is just the etrailer model #. I got CIPA model 11950 which I already have. Now I need to return the ones to etrailer and I'm being charged $16 to do so. This could have been avoided if the CIPA model number was immediately visible in the description (it is there in small print at the bottom). Also, my vehicle's mirror (2018 explorer) is not the same as the 2018 explorer in the video and picture. So it's not accurate for etrailer to say it fits all 2018 Explorers.

To start, great price and fits my 2015 explorer very well. Easy to put on and have had no problems highway speeds and all. As most mirrors do there is a bit of shake but I expected such. My only reason for 3 stars is when I ordered I ordered 2 mirrors for both sides of vehicle. When package was delivered it was on the mirror box and looked a little rough shape. The mirror was fine but was definitely a concern when opening. On top of the mirror being shipped on original packaging as you would likely find on a shelf in a store there was no foam or anything to protect it but It did arrive fine. My last thing is that only 1 mirror was delivered. They were very quick to correct this and get me the other in as soon as possible and very polite. And the missing mirror can packed in a box with padding and made me very happy to see that. I would give a 5 star review on everything if I received both and packed better but the mirrors are great and would order again.

Clips do not fit between mirror and housing. While driving the vibration in mirror makes it difficult to see things. Difficult to adjust to proper angle.

The mirrors appear to be pretty sturdy. The actual mirror seems a bit small, but I have not used the mirrors yet to tell if the mirror size is actually adequate or not. The clamps are nicely machined and not one bit flimsy; they are rock solid. The lower part of the clamp that wedges into the mirror housing is nice and thin, but it still seems to touch the top of the truck's mirrors slightly. But, they still seem to be able to adjust ok, occasionally grabbing the clamp and jumping a little. One other semi trivial thing that was a little disappointing; I had to use a wrench on the nut used to adjust the tube length, and the wrench scratched the paint off of the aluminum nut. It detracted from the fine appearance of the mirrors ever so slightly. I wish I had some exact match touch up paint. In a couple of days I will get to use them for the first time whereas I am picking up my new travel trailer from the dealer out east on Long Island. I'll report back on how well it went and how well the mirrors worked. I'll even try to add pictures.

I told a 7 foot wide travel trailer behind my Ford Explorer It needs extended mirrors to tow properly and I tried a different style first. Those just didn’t work satisfactorily for a year and I gave up on them. When I found these at etrailer and watched their video on them, I was impressed and ordered them. I’ve used them once and I am even more impressed. They attached very firmly with no wiggle or shake, and they’re adjustable in many ways. They are the answer to my problem. Looks like a great product.

Since there are no custom mirrors available for Toyota 4Runners I was hoping these would work. Unfortunately, no matter how tight you attach them with the rubber straps, they vibrate so much they don't work very well even on the highway and not at all on rough roads. They're really only useful for backing up the trailer so they're just hanging up in the garage.

Good fit for strap on stay on good for first trip 175 mi 2017 Ford Explorer

Fits great,and looks good too.

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.

Fit is great no issues

Very good quality construction. Very good fit for a non-custom mount. Thick rubber straps are stretched over the car’s side mirror and hold the mirror well. My car is a 2017 Ford Expedition EL. Note: when you fold in the car mirror the towing mirror partially blocks the progress so that mirror stops early. It is still folded but not as completely as without the tow mirror. And yes, they are two identical mirrors so on one side the straps go up, on the other side they go down.

It took awhile to get these mounted,the instructions were literally the size of postage stamps, black on black, like some smudges with a hand in front - useless so I figured it out myself. The clips that these were shipped with were on back wards to add confusion, I took the big plastic clips off and used the small metal clips, bent the clip so they'd stay on when the mirror was removed. I think they woud work better if the strap were closer to the two pads instead of to the single pad on the inside. They are interchangeable but the one on the right is adjusted differently than the left so I'll find a small way to mark them, they're a big enough pain to locate and clamp down enough to stay put that I won't want to remove them after every trip but if I don't someone will break on in a parking lot (without the trailer). I've seen molded morrors that fit specific vehicles, slide on, fit the factory mirror houseing perfectly and a clip around the edge by the window keeps it there - couldn't find one for my Subaru Ascent Premium so I'll use these unless and until I can find better.

hello am very happy with my extended mirrors that i ordered they was very helpful to make sure i got the correct ones for my vehicle and sent them out and was able to track them on line to see when they would arrive and they fit perfect very happy with the service and product thanks

Perfect fit!

I like them so much I’ve never taken them off my truck. They do not look like snap on mirrors at all. I have got more compliments on those mirrors than I can count. Ive been a great advertiser for you guys. Lol

Love these mirrors. they are a snap to install, haven't seen any damage to the truck mirror frames. They do a great job of extending my view around the trailer. Lastly, they look like they were installed by Ford.

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

Mirrors worked as intended and advertised. They move with the wind or bumps. Could use more straps or something else to hold in place better.

I already had the driver side mirror and needed the one for the passenger side. I have tried several extension mirrors but the CIPA is far better and stays put better than any add-ons. I really like the CIPA towing mirrors and the price is right also.

The mirrors help me tow our Lance trailer safely. The adjustable mirrors benefited with a touch of dry lubricant on the joint inside the housing. Emily at etrailer was very helpful!

First set had a factory defect. The hole for the tension knob was not threaded. Replacement sent was also a defect, the mirror panel swivel was un-adjustable. Spend the extra money and get the correct OEM ones for your vehicle.

they did not fit on my 1994 voyager as advertised they seemed like a nice quality part but unfortunately it did not work for my application

I haven't had them on the road yet, but the fit looks fair at best. I just hope I have some warning should they decide to try to fall off.

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.
