Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2017 Ford Expedition

Question

Question:

We tow a horse trailer. We need after-market towing mirrors that replace the stock ones for a 2017 Ford Expedition EL Limited. The stock mirrors are too cheezy to support clamp-on tow mirrors, they fold in with the slightest breeze. We want extendable tow mirrors for our vehicle that replace the OEM, has the build in turn signals like the OEM ones, slide in and out manually and might even have the defroster. Thank you,

I have a tow mirror solution that will work great for your 2017 Ford Expedition but we don't have any mirror replacements that fit your vehicle so the best option would be a door mounted tow mirror like the CIPA Door Mounted Mirror Set part # 11650-2 which will be very stable and allows you to adjust how far out they stick from the vehicle to get the exact view behind you that you need. Since they are door mounted they would bypass your OEM mirrors that you mentioned weren't very stable.
