2010 Dodge Ram tow mirrors

Got power/ heated tow mirrors on the Ram. These things are huge! Very aware of the extra space the truck takes with these mirrors installed even in the not extended position

Maybe I'm biased but they don't look as big as some of those "elephant ears" on some other brands.Just my .02!

I really like mine. I love the fact that I can just flip them up for towing and back down when done. Plus when there flipped up for towing they really add a lot of coverage down the side of the trailer.

Those slide out. I don't know why but when I look at Mopar accessible accessories site (same at dealer) the ones coming out for 2010 half ton Ram are these slide out ones. Maybe because I wanted to retain the power and heat feature

I haven't measured but I think they are slightly larger. They do stick out quite a bit (like firt pic) when not extended. I like the fish eye, covers the blind spot. What year is your truck? You might be able to get the flip ups

My personal truck is the 2009 Ram but I just got a 2005 Ram 2500 for work and it has the flip up mirrors and they work very well but I do like the look of the ones you got.

Did you try to look at junk yards for a set like mine. If all else fails go to a Dodge truck forum and ask around there they usually have for sale thread with tons of stuff, just might get lucky.

I belong to the ramz forum and checked it out, nothing. i already got the mirros, the pics are the ones on my truck.
Only thing I don't like is increased wind noise from them

Never even knew Dodge had telescopic tow mirrors. I put a set of the power/heated OEM flip type mirrors on my Ram. I got them for a great deal paid like 250.00 brand new. Installed them myself it was very easy. 700 bucks is a hit on the pocket book.
