Ford F-150 CIPA Mirrors

[Joec1882]

Just installed these on my 06 F150. I started the truck up and revved it up a little, didn't see any vibration. Install was quick and easy. Ideally I would like actual tow mirrors but we just bought our first Hybrid and thought this could be a less expensive way around purchasing $200+ new towing mirrors.
Has anyone had luck with these, any issues?

Thanks

I used them for the first time last season and love them. Took two, 1 week vacations along with several other weekends and they worked well. Like you, I would prefer factory tow mirrors but these are a good solution.

I also use them and find them to be quite good. Once, when the wedge wasn't in right, one of the mirrors started to come loose. I don't get any vibration from them. As long as they are put on well, they are a great alternative to factory mirrors.

I used these until picking up a set of extending mirrors from a fellow board member. They work just fine.
In fact I still have them and the original mirrors for the truck in my garage. Not really sure why I am keeping them.

Not to steal this thread, but I have a mint set of CIPA mirrors for an earlier F150-Expedition for sale cheap if anyone is interested.

I used them for 5-6 years, fit good held adjustment. Should be just what you need

Thanks for the feedback guys, most reviews I read we're similar to what's being posted here. That's why I went with them.

I used them last year with no problems. Bought another truck this year, so I am letting them go with the old truck.

Been using the same mirrors for four years, no complaints. I did line the
the inside with the fuzzy part of Velcro where the CIPA sets against the end of the truck mirrors, also where CIPA fits against the front side of the truck
mirrors.

Sort of cushions the whole set up.

I have had them for 2 years and am very pleased with them.

I am looking for mirrors for the Ford Explorer I have. Where do you get these mirrors for Ford vehicles?

Best price I have found was on Amazon...have used these 2 years on my Ford F150 and 1 year on my GMC....work great! Quick, easy, no vibration at all.

Amazon, I got these "used" for $25. There isn't a blemish on them, it was a steal. You need to keep checking though, every day to see what's new on there.

I used those for 2 years. I was happy with them. Late last year I replaced them with aftermarket power mirrors I bought from the following link. They are now selling for $232 for the pair. Installation was no problem good fit. They work well. MY CIPA for F150 2010 are also for sale for $35 plus shipping.

Of all the "add on" mirrors, these are the best ones I have found. Used them on my last two vehicles. These mirrors provide good clear visibility .

I've used them in the past and liked them fairly well. I, too, installed some cushioning material to make the connection between the two mirrors more solid. I still had some minor vibration at road speeds that I didn't like, so I took some black silicone and ran some beads around the mirror portion to lock it in place. Just make sure they are set how you want them first.

I have been using them for years and they work. Just be sure to check the tightness and that the wedge is in properly every so often. Last summer I found out that they don't work so well after being dropped on the road at 60 mph.

[stillontheroad]

I agree. They work great. No vibration, easy on and off and inexpensive. We used them for our 4 month trip to Texas last year and this years 4 month trip to Florida. Absolutely no issues.

Bought a set of Cipas last year and used them for a trip from MN to ME, never had a problem. They give you that little bit extra view beside TT.

mcmartinez, had to look up the site you posted, the price sounded good. But when I found the ones with features that my truck has they were $534, a little much for me.
