Any way to stop side mirrors from pointing at the ground during reverse?

[pathogen]

Hi,

I have a 2019 Laramie 1500 4x4.

Love the truck but I hate the side mirrors for it when reversing. They tilt so low as to almost be useless.

I took it to the dealer before and he says start them at a high point, save to your profile and then they will not go as low during reverse.

This is problematic because,
1. I want the non-reverse position of the mirrors to be at a useful angle for driving and,
2. The setting does not seem to stick in the profile anyway. They always seem to revert to their default tilt.

I had a 2016 Ram before and it never did this. Why does this one and is there anything I can do?

Thanks!

Yes, there is a setting on the main screen that keeps the mirrors from moving.

You can turn it off. As far as I know, you can't adjust them so I keep them off. Useless!

OK, so it is either turn them off or suffer with their uselessness seems like the consensus...

Yes

One of the first things I turned off after getting the truck.

Same here. Seemed more gimmicky than useful since it went too low and worked too slow. I also found that they slowly moved out of position after each use which was annoying.

I turned it on once, found it useless, and turned it back off never to be used again.

Yep, that setting is useless. Tried it once and that was enough.

About as useless as that dealer giving out that advice.

You did the right thing to come here and ask, I wouldn't bother with that dealership anymore.

If you are not using both of your memory settings, you can set one of them to tilt the mirrors down to the angle you need. not the best workaround but one none the less.

yup...turned mine off, and every car I ever had with them they get turned off. When backing up I'm more interested in looking behind me than looking at dog doo, cig. butts, and pavement....

On vehicles where they work correctly, I use them to get my tires really close to a curb, edge of pavement, etc. It's a great feature when it works right.

Yep I turned them off myself. Haven’t had that feature in any of car/truck I’ve owned prior to I was use to not having it. I agree they went to low to be useful for anybody.

how do you turn them on! I like the feature and can't seem to find it on my 22 Rebel GT
