Longview Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On - Driver and Passenger Side
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.
I actually purchased 2 sets of these mirrors. One for my Chevy S 10 and another for my Ford Explorer Sport Track. I regularly tow a 24 ft pontoon boat that is 8 ft wide. These mirrors work very well. I can see all the way to the tail end of the boat on the drivers side. This is the more important side for me. The passenger side visibility is not quite as good. I have to be very careful when switching back to the right lane when on a dual lane highway. All and all I highly recommend these mirrors. Keep in mind, this is a huge object I'm towing. I would not think of towing my pontoon boat without these great mirrors. Someone towing an average size trailer or boat should have great visibility on both sides. These mirrors definitely add a "comfort factor," when towing a boat or trailer. They are easy to install and are very stable. I definitely would recommend them !

K-Source Universal Towing Mirror - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 1
Works Great, No Vibration. After I installed the mirrors a couple times it became very easy to put on and take off. Occasionally I use silicone spray lube on the mirrors ball and socket for easier adjustment.
Perhaps I was naive in thinking this would improve the blindspot behind the trailer. Not only did it not improve the visibility, it just won't tighten down on my side mirror on my 2015 Ford Explorer. Have to add bungi cords to keep it from falling off. Used one trip.

K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair
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

Using on a 2016 Explorer, for towing a 19ft camper. Have to be a little careful placing the outside strap, after which, it holds well (has not fallen off). The mirror works good for seeing the lane next to the camper. So it serves its intended purpose.

THEY WORK GOOD ON OUR 2015 FORD EXPLORER
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.

CIPA Universal Fit Dual-View Towing Mirror - Clip-On
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.
Fits great,and looks good too.

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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
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!

K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Flat Mirror - Qty 2
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.

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors - Strap On - Qty 2
I bought these mirrors to use on our 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I used them just a couple of times and have decided to look for something else. Despite my best efforts and watching (and re-watching) the online video that shows them being mounted on my exact vehicle, I found that the soft pads that grip the back of the mirror could not keep the mirror in place for more than 30 minutes or so. It was warm (mid-80s) when I used the mirrors and the heat seemed to let the pads slip too much. I tried several different positions and adjusted the tension straps carefully, but no luck. They seem pretty well made and may well work well on other vehicles, but they just don't work with my Jeep GC.

K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On - Driver and Passenger Side
Purchased the K-source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors for use while towing a trailer. They are a perfect fit and really help me keep an eye on the traffic around me. They also help to eliminate some of the blind spots with or without a trailer behind me. Right product for the right vehicle. Thanks Etrailer!
These have been a great safety feature for pulling a trailer. I really appreciate how they detach and are easily stowed. Olid product!

CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirror - Strap On - Black
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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Passenger Side
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.

CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side
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.

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.
K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors Review - 2015 Ford Explorer
Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today you're going to be taking a look at the K-Source dual view clip on towing mirror on our 2015 Ford Explorer. Now what I really like about this mirror is the fact that it does give you those two mirrors. The larger mirror is going to give you a really accurate depiction of what's behind you, where the smaller mirror is going to act like a spot mirror. Now having that extra field of view is really nice, especially when you're towing a trailer. You can keep an eye on the tires in the back or if we need to change lanes we can make sure that we know what's going on.So here I am at the back of my trailer, and you can clearly see me in the factory mirror but if I we're to step away, you're going to lose track of me. Just like if we needed to change lanes on the highway, or we're passing somebody or potentially backing our trailer up at the camp grounds, either way our mirror is going to give us an accurate depiction, we'll get a wider field of view, and we can confidently get down the road knowing that everyone around us and ourselves are going to be safe.

Today on our 2015 Ford Explorer, we're going to be doing a test fit on the Cipa Dual View Clip-on Towing Mirror. That's part number 11953. It offers us a wide field of view. It's going to allow us to safely and easily change lanes, pass, park, or even backup while towing a trailer or camper. As you can see, I'm visible in the towing mirror, but not the factory mirror. Between both mirrors, you get the same view, just a closer, more clearer view in the larger mirror. If I take a few steps towards my trailer, as you can see, there's no blind spot by the way we have it set up. This is the view you get with just your factory mirror.
