Power Folding Tow Mirrors

Should be, but the real question is When.
This is the most "missed" feature Ram has goofed on. I personally know 2 people that bought Pords due only to the non folding tow mirrors on half tons. They were actually going to buy Rams and when they got to the mirrors that did it. They said if Ram doesn't have that feature what else is screwed up on the truck and they changed brands. Come on Ram you have them on the 3/4 ton its a no brainer to put them on the half.
The other thing you lose with the tow mirrors is the 360 degree park assist feature. I was surprised that no one at the dealership were even aware of this when I bought my truck.

You all confuse me. Here's what my ordered 2020 3500 Laramie build sheet includes. Disagrees with everything you are saying. Or, am I missing something?

You are.
The 1500s don't have power foldable mirrors like the 2500-3500s. Nor can they be had with 360 surround camera view.
I know, pretty boneheaded decision on FCAs part.
It'd be great if Ram would do that for the 1500's too. Not worth upgrading to the HD just for the mirrors if I don't otherwise need the towing or cargo capacity of one.

Sorry - had no idea you were talking about 1500s. There were no indications it was about 1500s. That's what I miss with these new forum formats - they no longer show the poster's ride - only useless messages and points.
This thread is in the “5th Generation (2019+) 1500 > Exterior” forum/subforum, according to the top of the page.
If you get the trailer tow group it nukes $2,000 in options they still bill you for

Yeah, it's up to us to put our truck information in our signature. It's definitely helpful to know the specifics of what people are asking about. But to be fair, this forum is specific to 1500's.

You all have vividly pointed out what I overlooked or missed. Thank you, it's much appreciated.
With the forum's title, "5thgenrams" I just assumed all 5th gens. I missed the fact that it is 5thgenrams, 1500s only. Now I know. It also explains why it doesn't list a 6.7 engine under "Powertrains" - duh! That should have been a clue.
A great forum by the way

Thanks, I have that one as well
Well It looks like I have the missing 1500 limited with full function trailer tow mirrors (2021) power fold, surround camera, heat, bsm indicator & it's the one feature that I really dislike ! In the up position, the height blocks my view - in the down position the wide angle strip on the outside keeps me from seeing the next those vehicles next to me- sure wish I could pay the dealer to change to the regular limited mirrors ? but they won't or can't
