Do Mirrors Help to See Behind Towed Trailer?
Question:
We were not happy with the CM 11550 Mirrors which we have returned and didnt want to go to the strap on KS 81850 mirrors. I think your LVT-2300-C mirrors would serve us better. I have a couple of questions. what is the small mirror shown sometimes on the original mirror in the upper left corner of the mirror and what features would I lose with the LVT-2300-C mirrors? Thank you for your reply.

The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11550 are speciically designed to help you see behind your trailer. While they do not necessarily expose anything, they do give you a 4" extended mirror face which allows you to to expand your line of sight further.
I've added a link to a video review of these mirrors on a F-150 for you to check out.
