Question:

Would cipa 11650 fit well on my 2019 4 runner limited nightshade or would you prefer K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors. Just wanting the Best Buy. Don’t want to mess up the deal on the window either. Appreciate your help!

The CIPA # 11650 is a great product, it works very well and it's a great solution on some vehicles when nothing else will work. This being said, even through the mounting hooks are plastic coated I'd personally be reluctant to use them on a brand-new vehicle. My fear would be that one of the hooks would mar the door or the window seal. There's only a slight chance something could get damaged, but for a brand new vehicle I personally wouldn't take the chance.

For that reason, I'd go with the K-Source # KS3891. The mirror uses ratcheting rubber straps that allow the mirror to be fastened snugly, but the straps have a small amount of give to them so that nothing is damaged. The 2 piece glass also offers an excellent field of vision.

I've linked you to a product demonstration video featuring the K-Source mirror being used on a older 4Runner.
