Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy Silverado

Question

Question:

I have a 2013 Chevy Silverado and I am looking at getting a towing mirror for it. Ive narrowed it down to either the CIPA brand or K-Source brand. It looks like the difference is that CIPA slides on and and the screw for adjustment and the K-Source clips on. Between the two, would you recommend one over the other, or do I flip a coin? Any outstanding CONS with either one? Thanks,

Personally I prefer CIPA stuff over K-Source. I've had to call both companies and CIPA seems to be more helpful and have tighter quality controls on the products they sell. That being said we've had a ton of customers use the part # KS80900 that is confirmed to fit your vehicle and report back that the mirrors worked great.

But if it were me I would go with the CIPA part # CM10900 which have a perfect rating from our customers.
