I'm starting to wonder what the street value is for my truck, which was built in Nov and bought at the end of January. I have the full technology group and advanced safety group.
I can tell you that there are ABSOLUTELY blind spots! The Laramie is HUGE. While it is one owner's impression that the mirrors are fine, I'd counter that it depends incredibly on your state of mind, traffic situation, and intent whether or not you locate any drivers around you. I have the trailer mirrors which are large and they have the convex blindspot mirrors outboard, but they're easy to overlook, especially on the passenger side. For whatever reason, the primary mirror on the right side reflects objects larger or somehow lacking the true position vs. reality. And that mirror is obviously the bigger one. Unless you train yourself that, hey, I now have both the standard and the convex blindspot mirrors on both sides, your instinct is to simply focus on the standard mirror. And you normally move casually in traffic, you can't do that with this truck. You have to be aggressively proactive, due to its size. Honestly, the little yellow triangles lighting up to say someone is there can be overlooked as well.
Every tool is going to help, and none should be dismissed. Lives are at stake.
