    Just a FYI from a Canadian that got stuck with tow mirrors on the higher trims 22/23 ( some Canada thing ) .....they suck. When extended dont do dick, when not extended it's a HUGE blind spot. Hate mine. I would tow with regular mirrors and see if it really matters before changing. They blow.

    Lots of stuff!
    We have the regular mirrors and when towing they work great. I would stick one of those little adhered convex mirrors in the corner to open the viewing area but overall they work and are wide enough.

    I bought these to use when I tow my TT. They are fantastic! I almost like them as much as the mirrors on my old Ram. When we get to our destination I just leave them on because they really work and don't look to bad. 1/10 the cost. Just FYI.

    I have been wondering about something exactly like this. Not that the mirrors are horrible on my 22 Limited, but could use a little help. I have towed with a Ford Excursion for many years and I loved the telescoping mirrors on them. Just to reach out a little further.

    Do you have the folding mirror option and how does that work if so?


    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    I have these also. Used them twice so far and very happy with them.

    To answer @mrlittlejohn 's question above:
    They fold up just fine with the tow mirror extensions attached.

    Thanks, I am going to look to get some of these.

    Question for you that I am trying to figure out. You have a 24 Limited. I have a 22 Limited, and my wheel moldings are truck color. I purchased used recently, and I have been thinking Limited Tundras have black wheel moldings. Any thoughts?

    I'm already thinking of blacking out my door handles and the Tundra tag on my magnetic grey metallic Limited. Along with the Toyota symbol on the grill. Oh, and the TUNDRA on the tailgate. The chrome throws off the black on the door uprights. I have a double cab w/ 6.5' bed and a tonneau cover.


    Thanks,
    Mike

    As far as I know, the only wheel moldings that come body color-matched are on TRD Sports and Capstones.
    Most likely yours have been changed.

    Here’s the truck after my test drive. Bought it that day without testing any other Tundras ever. I really like the truck. I just want to clean up the look a little. I need to look on here for what people have used to black out their truck like I want to do. Thanks for your reply.
    I’m glad to hear about the snap on mirrors.
