Tow Mirrors?

[W Six]

Good Day Folks.
I’m back in a Ram now.
The truck has the tow hitch and brake controller, but lacks tow mirrors.
Does anyone her have any good recommendations s for an aftermarket set, or is there some generational overlap as to what will fit the 5th gen trucks from maybe a 4th gen?

I ran into this on my Tundra, and picked up a used set of GM style aftermarket mirrors, and they were fine…they were not Boost brand, so much more economical.

TIA

I hate the factory tow mirrors. Looks like a moose coming down the road when up, and not very good for driving when down. That's one good change for 25, they will be power extending for towing instead. My plan is buying clip on trailer mirrors for towing. Many styles available at etrailer.com

Same here. I picked up a set of clip on mirrors for my big horn.

What do you have and where are you? I’ll trade my tow mirrors off my 23 Ram.

I have a set of clip ons in my Amazon wish list I keep forgetting about. Thanks for reminding me. I tow the camper about once a month, not worth changing to the big ugly mirrors.

The search feature is your friend. There's some nice big pictures of clip-ons here.

if you didn't get the towing package do the standard mirrors work for towing a 8' wide travel trailer

I would not have thought they had nice clip ons…thanks.
I’ll still prefer a regular tow mirror.

If you want the moose mirrors, Amazon sells them.

“Moose Mirrors”
All the tears I drove the O6, I’d never heard them referred to as such

I had clip-ons, they vibrated! Put on flip-up ram tow mirrors, it was lotta mula, but did the job! My safety and being comfortable is over and above what it looks like!! (2016,2023)

I'd trade mine in a heartbeat as well. Now searching for sport mirrors. Maybe we can start a "pay it forward" thread to avoid high dealer costs, lol.

Have been running the Boost Auto tow mirrors for over a year now. Solid for the price. Great customer service and they keep most of the parts in stock incase you have a boo boo.

Are the lower mirrors pwr or manual adjust?

Got some good front and back pics? How far do they stick out in normal and extended tow mode?

I like my 2023 tow mirrors quite well!

No. Small convex mirrors are manual adjust but I did opt to have both glasses heated.

Sure, I can get you some pics when I get off work today. Will be later this evening and I’ll PM them to you. They look identical to the factory tow mirrors except I have the chrome caps on mine.

Oh, so you have the flip style like Ram OEM? I thought maybe you had the Boost GM style (stacked) that they make for Ram.

 

[Ratchet]

No. Mine are the flip up Ram style but made by Boost. Just like OE. I only had auto dim, heat, and power fold. No other features on my truck. New mirrors do not have auto dim but have heat and power fold. Wind noise is just a lil more vs the factory mirrors.

I have never seen power adjust lowers. Those 25 mirrors will have power convex adjust. Those I would buy.
