Used the the flip out tow mirrors for the first time on the new tow rig, much better than the ones on the Sub. waytogo
Cool, I am spoiled cuz I don't even have to get out to extend mine, just push the button and bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz the extend out waytogo imp:
Yep, they are sweet! Best mirror (IMHO) to ever come out. I plan on buying a set of them for my 2nd gen one of these days. Burt, you GM guys have some cute little super extendo mirrors... Nice horizontally shaped mirror, but doesn't provide the view like a more vertically shaped mirror.
GM totaly f'ed up the design of the tow mirrors as far as I am concerned. They work okay for towing and the auto extend is great, but they have blindspots that you can litteraly hide a crew cab in. I like the mirrors on my Old 95 Ford way better than the GM towing mirrors for the 05's For the 06's they just copied Fords ugly a$$ design and put them on. I haven't played with the dodge mirrors maybe they are better than the others, Even though you have to extend yourself to make them work
You guys must be blind, my mirrors work just fine. The trick is to raise my captain chair all the way up imp: opcorn: waytogo :stir:
My new Dodge has the regular power mirrors. the flip out tow mirriors may work good, but I couldn't get past the fugly look of them. If I need the extra width I'll get some slip on tow mirrors. :doah: opcorn: :stir:
I am 6'2" with a long torso so if I raised my seat all of the way up I souldn't sit in the truck. I may be blind but the mirrors still suck for me.
hahahaha WELL you could lower the seat all the way and then lean it back, turn your ballcap sidways and then you will beable to see clearly waytogo rotfl :stir: opcorn:
Then I would have to wear my pants around always looking like I just left a load in them with my boxers sticking 8" above the waist band and an 18" long belt tail sticking out. Just not my style.waytogo I think the mirrors are just to far away from the truck for me when I don't have them extended. With them extended they are even farther out but I can see around the trailer nicely.
rotfl rotfl rotfl funny guy imp: I have no other experiances with other towrigs so in reality I cannot judge as I have nothing to compare it with. All I know is so far I have been able to see out back just fine. I move them around alot so I just point them in the direction I need to see, down at the tires or up at the tailgate area etc... waytogo
