Question:

I have a 2008 Silverado crew cab with standard mirrors that have turn signals in them, electric adjust and electric fold, and heated. I would like to replace them with towing mirrors and retain at least the electric adjust and the electric fold. I cant seem to find any that fold electrically, is it possible?

Expert Reply:

The electric fold is something you will have a hard time finding if it exists at all (I have yet to see any that weren't manual fold). Custom towing mirror set # KS62093-94G has the heat, turn signals, and electric operation but no power folding option.

Another option is to use slip-on towing mirror set # KS80900. This will allow you to get the electric folding option on the stock mirrors. As long as the factory side mirrors on your 2008 Silverado are not extendable or telescoping and look like the mirrors in the video linked to the right you can use these mirrors.
