Best 2018 Ford Explorer Towing Mirrors

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 !

I am using this mirror set on my Explorer when pulling my 8 foot wide trailer. It adjusts in height very well. The mirror locks into the edge of the existing mirror and does not vibrate. Well worth the cost.

This was purchased for a 2002 Explorer Eddie Bower. The mountable space on the bottom of my mirrors are smaller than the top, which when you tighten the outside strap it tries to slide off the mirror. As a work around, I mounted the top clamps as close as I could inward and the lower clamp the only where it will fit, on the flat section outward. This re-positions the problem outside strap so it has a better mounting surface. The second problem on my vehicle is that the lower clamps interferes with the stock motorized mirror. I am currently evaluation how well my workaround will secure the product to my mirrors. If the stay put, I intend to trim the clamp slightly to give clearance so that I can adjust the stock mirrors while the tow mirrors re on the vehicle. The product is good, but fitment on a 2002 Explorer is weak.

The concept is great. Installation instructions not so. As pre-assembled, the straps are too tight. It would have been easier to start with them looser, and then tighten them. I think order #2 should be switched with #1..To me, it was easier to do the initial assembly off the car.

Satisfactory after market add on product. Increased rear field of vision .

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.

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.

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

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.

I received the trailer mirrors on the date in which stated. The quality of the mirrors are great and easy to use. I highly recommend etrailer.com - the quality assurance and follow up to make sure you receive your order is excellent.

Package received on day promised. Everything in order, well packaged. Great shopping experience. Will do again

Excellent product. Holds on to my SUV (Ford Explorer) mirrors without slipping. I do add a small bungee with a ball end near the mirror to make it extra secure. Eventually the rubber straps wear out and break, but this is normal and based on usage. The main and outside mirrors adjust easily and stay in position. I would definitely buy again.

every thing was great will keep using you guys

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.

The company was fast and gave lots of updates for shipping. Once i received product my concerns were met. The straps are BARELY long enough to connect around my mirror. Once it is straped properly the tension on straps pulls them right out of the retaining clip. I ordered these because i have a 11 silverado just like what was in the product pictures. Save your money and get something else because theres no way these will make it down the highway they will barely stay on just sitting here. Kinda disappointed because i bout these for our first camping trip this weekend but these will not work. Seems like a good company just crappy product.

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

Fits great,and looks good too.

They are very easy to install and remove when parked for extended periods. Costumer service was very helpful with getting me the correct marrows.

Great product! I use them on all my trailers as well as my travel trailer. This is actually me second set...the first got destroyed by a hit n run and i could not live without them!

I went right away to try them on my truck. I have a 24 Denali ultimate 1500 Denali and I have a couple of cameras on my side mirrors. The straps are easy to maneuver around the cameras to avoid issues there. Good snug fit I have not taken it out yet to test these in real road conditions but so far so good.

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!

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.

I emailed a question about this mirror fitting my 2013 F150 STX 4x4. The response was NO but when I googled custom mirrors another etrailer link came up with a response that it would fit and several STX customers were happy with this model. I'm towing a 24' camping trailer and got to use these mirrors just last week. I can really see much more with the addition of the towing mirrors, especially cars and trucks behind me. Drove local roads and highways. For the money this is one extra safety feature for towing! And when I got home I easily removed the mirrors and placed them in a split bag for storage. Pictures are of my 2013 F150 STX 4x4 mirrors and then with the tow mirrors installed.

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.

These trailering mirror extensions were purchased as a gift, however they fit perfectly on my dad's Ford F-350. Much cheaper than factory mirror extensions and perfect for his application.

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.

Proper fit, I have not trouble putting the mirrors on or off

Excellent Product…Easy to Install and the instructions were very easy to understand… These Mirrors fit perfectly on my 2016 Ram 2500 SuperCrew 4x4 Truck

So far this might do the trick . A bit concerned on stability after long trip .. we shall see in time !! The passenger side is not as tight as drivers .. again time will tell .
