    ANy suggestions for Aftermarket towing mirrors Not OE that stand the test of time and do not vibrate at any speed also are really good? I want to get towing mirrors but OE is $460. Just hurts so much.

    Would love to hear recommendations.

    I'm researching the same thing and it seems like aftermarket mirrors are hit-and-miss when it comes to vibration. Every aftermarket option has people saying there are vibration issues. I have a $500 parts credit at my dealer and am just about to bite the bullet and get OEM mirrors, but they charge freaking $325 PER SIDE (!!!). I can get 15% off that but it's still insane.

    I normally never would, but I have that parts credit and can't think of anything else to get with it. I suppose I could just bank it and get something when the need arises, but I really want some tow mirrors...

    Which aftermarket mirrors does everyone recommend that has the BSM, heat, and power? I'm about to pull the trigger on a 32' camper and probably need to get a set.

    Amazon sells them for 460 both from Toyota directly. See if you can get a price match. Unless yours have some sort of BSM or power fold option.

    Yes Darania those are the trail ridge on my truck bought them for A1 source.
    They don’t bounce, they are heated and do have the BSM just like the factory ones.
    I am happy with them I like the dark side turn signal cover instead of amber.
    Nice mirrors for 250.00 IMO

    Gotcha I figured it might once you add all that in.

    What's crazy is I looked at a 2019 Sr Tundra on the dealer lot last week and on the window sticker the tow mirrors were a $45 option..talk about a deal lol.

    Yeah I couldn't believe from the factory Toyota list them as a $45 upcharge but if we buy them from parts its a small fortune.

    Why doesn’t Toyota make OEM tow mirrors with BSM? The only thing that makes sense is they don’t want to have to build several different model mirrors. I’ve never found the real answer.

    What I this tow mirror shake I keep hearing about?? My tow mirrors have never given me any problem at all. They are OEM, heated and power tilt (not power fold), but I have never noticed a vibration at all. Small mirror shake when my subs are on (obviously), but never a rattle or shake while just driving. I've heard of the same problems on FB as well

    It happens with aftermarket mirrors - not OEM.

    While I don't have BSM, it is pretty lame of Toyota not to offer BSM in the tow mirrors. Those that do have bsm don't want to loose that feature upgrading to tow mirrors so they can see around the load they are towing, very big oversight on Toyota's part IMO.

    These have blind spot mirrors. So you dont really need the BSM feature with tow mirrors.

    See? That's such a simple answer that makes sense...love it. Thanks.

    I have a Limited w/ BSM. Do the non-BSM OEM tow mirrors cause the BSM alert to go off?
