The Camco Tow-n-See mirror, will just work on the driver's side mirror. The suction cup lines up on the flat stock mirror and shows the same view plane and has no adjustments at the head. On the passenger side, it is a curved mirror and to adjust it would be impossible.

I have used the CIPAS on my Tundra for five years, work great for me. Hit a post with the one on the passenger side, lost it and replaced it $28.00. If I had a need to trade trucks I would opt for the factory tow mirrors. That being said the CIPAS I am using do the job, I am not willing to pay what it would cost to change out the factory mirrors.

Had no problem with the passenger side curved mirror, could still use the power adjustments with the Camco Tow-n-See mirrors. Just got tired of putting them on and storing them. Love the factory power extend mirrors.

That's true! I guess I like to have the use of adjusting both mirrors (wide angle and flat) on each side to max out my views.
I lucked out on my new truck. We think the trading GMC dealer where my truck came from traded the big heated camper mirrors for stock mirrors for a customer and the deal fell through. My new truck now has the big mirrors and wasn't invoiced for them.

Extension Mirrors
Sold my 2005 Dodge Ram and have a set of clip on mirrors left over. Bought a 2013 turbo diesel ram with tow mirrors. If anyone needs these clip on mirrors, send me a PM. Used them once. Still in the wrapping and original box.

We bought the Cipa slide on mirrors from Amazon and they have a cut out for our turn signals. They work good and fit tight. They are a decent alternative to spending hundreds to add the hardwired extension mirrors. Our truck is 2010 F150 Lariat

You can see the strap on mirrors I have in this picture
I've been using them since I got the Expedition in 08. They have ratchets on the straps and don't shake or vibrate. They are very easy to put on and take off.

I have those same mirrors for my dodge 1500. They work great for me. No vibration and still plenty of viewing angles. For the price they are worth it IMO. Although I have looked at buying OEM extendable mirrors

Here is a close-up of the passenger side CIPA Mirror installed on our SUV. Took a lot of time to get them set just right. After I felt good about the setting I tightened the screw up to make them less likely to move and vibrate. Not a perfect solution but will work for now.

The one time I used the mirrors they worked great and the price was right. Buying the OEM mirrors for around $400.00 didn't seem to be necessary since we would have used them just for towing.
