Hello Everyone. I am new to this site and thank you for making it available to me.
I have recently bought a 2021 Rebel 1500. The truck came with factory installed trailer-tow mirrors, they show as a $245 cost on the original window sticker.
We have single stall garage doors and the extra mirror width allows me to barely fit thru the door, so I have been manual folding in a mirror upon entrance and exit.
The current mirrors are trailer-tow, manual fold, have a signal blinker light, small puddle light on the bottom, and power adjust.
I would like to replace the mirrors with standard width mirrors to save a few inches of overall vehicle width and ease of garage enter/exit.
The dealership that I bought the truck from is not a Ram dealer, and before the purchase the salesman assured me that the mirrors could be replaced with standard width mirrors and they would be plug and play. I asked and the dealership agreed to order in the mirrors and replace for me at my cost after the purchase. After they ordered in the replacement mirrors and began the process, I was told that they will not work and my truck has no other option but staying with the trailering mirrors. I was told that the way my current truck and mirror configuration is optioned, that replacement mirrors will throw codes on my dash - probably because I do not have power folding now? Shame on me for believing the salesman because now I frustrated with my decision to purchase the truck before the mirrors were replaced.
I would like to present my question to you all and see if there might be some insight or guidance for me in continuing the mirror replacement journey. Does anybody know of a replacement mirror option that would be plug and play? How about trying to splice in and reuse my current mirror wire harness and plug on the replacement mirrors?
Thank you in advance for any experience or guidance that can be provided.
