    Just bought a 2021 Tundra SR5 Crewmax. I have to fold the mirrors to get into the garage. Does Toyota make power folding mirrors for the Tundra? If not, is there an after market solution?

    I’ve done this. If you have an SR5, you have two considerations:

    1) Mirrors. You need to replace your mirrors with power folding. From Toyota they are VERY expensive. For standard mirrors, you need ones from the Platinum or power folding tow mirrors. There are aftermarket tow mirrors but your lowest cost route is to find used takeoffs from a Platinum. I was fortunate to find a brand new used set from a Platinum for cheap.

    2) Wiring. SR5 models do not have wiring for power folding so you need to wire it in. You also need a new switch with a power folding button. Right now there is only one option other than doing the whole thing yourself and that is a kit from KTJO. The kit includes mostly plug and play wiring. There is a great thread on here about experiences and challenges people have with this kit. Just search KTJO to find it.

    Note that Sr5 models have wiring for turn signals from the factory. So if you get upgraded mirrors the turn signals will works. But things like power folding and puddle lights will not work without wiring. BSM will only work if your truck already has is and your replacement mirrors already have it too.
