I have a 2019 Classic and was going to put the MOPAR tow mirrors on. But, I did not realize, I have the power fold mirrors. The replacemnts says they will will not work with that option. So, I need to find something to use. What does everyone use? Anyone know what I would lose other than the power fold it I put the MOPAR mirros on? Thanks,

do you have the puddle light? or blind spot monitoring? those are in the mirrors too.
i have tow mirrors with puddle and blind spot
I thought there was another thread that mentioned the 2500 mirrors might be power fold and work on 1500s. don't quote me on that

Also new on the 2021's are the power folding trailer tow mirrors in black & chrome. if you wait a few months they should be available from the parts department. You could talk to the counter man maybe he could look up to see if the wiring harness is the same then it would be plug and play.

simple, effective, and price the is right. I use my power fold way more then I would use the mopar towing mirrors for towing. Youd have to find the ones for the classic though.
I was concerned about that as well. I have only used them for about 80 miles so far so I cant say for sure. I do however keep everything clean so no dirt is abrasive in there. They fit very snug so that should mitigate abrasion caused by movement.

I used the CIPA brand of these for 18 yrs on my previous rig, they worked perfect, zero shift in wind at hwy speeds.

I have those. Are they perfect, no. Do they shake some, yes. I can see what's behind me if it's not a motorcycle right on my bumper. The other mirrors cover mostly everything and these work pretty well.
If you havent already tried, adjusting the tension screw behind the mirror should take any shake out of them.

I meant to tell you Thanks! Very helpful.
Check out the review I did on the Longview mirrors. I'm still happy with them.

Review: Longview slip-on tow mirrors (WITH PICS)
I just bought my first travel trailer and I’m picking it up in a couple weeks. I don’t have factory tow mirrors. Has anyone been using these or something similar? Do you like/dislike them? https://www.autoanything.com/mirrors/longview-towing-slip-on-mirrors
