Power Folding Towing Mirrors on a '23 1500 Bighorn?

I'm a little confused about whether it is possible to get factory folding towing mirrors on a '23 1500 Bighorn.
Reason I ask is that the "build your Ram" page says for the trailer tow package "Power Trailer-Tow Mirrors with Manual Fold-Away". However, if also adding the Sport Appearance or Big Horn Level B equipment group, those offer "Power-folding mirrors".
So if you add the tow package, but also Sport and/or Level B, do you get manual or power folding tow mirrors?
Hoping it's as simple as someone here having a 23 Bighorn that knows for sure. Thanks!

Depends on your expectation of what power folding means. On the 1/2 ton DT with regular mirrors, and the option the will fold when u push a button, but not when you turn off the key. The giant tow mirrors depending on the setup don’t power fold. That said the work around is a called Tazer DT, and you can make the mirrors fold assuming the ones you buy have the motors.

you might be confusing regular mirrors to the larger towing mirrors.

I think I might get what you are seeing...in the tow group when you are building a Ram, you will see "Power Trailer-Tow Mirrors with Manual Fold-Away" and then in group B, you will see "Power-Heated Mirrors with Power Fold-Away". I think, but not 100% certain, that the tow package has the moose antler mirrors that give you the power to flip them up, but you will have to manually fold them in. Whereas the group B mirrors, will give you the power to fold them in because they do not flip up (you get a little bit of a larger mirror with a convex corner).

I would def reach out to a dealer and ask them to be 100% sure of what you are getting if you select these options.
