After Market Towing Mirrors?

Long story short, I do not have manufacturers towing mirrors on my truck. I picked up some mirrors on Kijji. but they were useless too small. Can anyone recommend a type to try...keep in mind I'm not rich...lol

I am real happy with CIPA mirrors, added on to my originals, available on amazon for your TV hopefully... mine cost about $40/pair

I've got a set on my Tahoe (slip on ) and I'm pretty happy with them.

Another vote for CIPA. I've used them 3 years and am very happy. There's no vibration and they are put on quickly.

I have Longview tow mirrors basically the only ones I could find to fit a 2015 F-150. However I am happy with them.

Slip-on's work, but check/tighten them every time you move the truck.

I used the CIPA model for my old 2002 F150, but when I bought my 2015 F150 in Nov. CIPA didn't have a model for the new year,.....found the link below, its universal design and is very sturdy, bought two, I like them better than the CIPA

Thanks for help every one...the CIPA mentioned are they universal or custom fit? Fella 10 I'm looking into your type as well. But of course being Canadian I am likely going to pay double :-( Amazon.CA prices are very bad compared to .com

I have used these with good luck. Nice tight fit with no rattle.

CIPA's are custom fit by yr., make, model, ect,...that's why none were available, they had not made a new design for the 2015 F150 at that time,.... I don't know if they have them for that year now or not, but anyway not interested now, very pleased with the ones I have...............

After Market Towing Mirrors?

I got replacement mirrors for my f150.

Less vibration no one will steal. Just like stock mirrors.

I got mine from a1 auto

I got the Grand Aero towing mirror. They are universal and are very easy to install. No vibration issue, definitely recommend.

I use the CIPA mirrors. Works great. My only problem was getting them adjusted.
Easy to adjust but I kept moving them too much or too little. After getting them set I used red finger nail polish to mark the spots to make it easier next time.
