Towing Mirrors help off road?

Does anyone run towing mirrors for off road purposes? Do they help?

I've seen a few overlanders/off roaders with towing mirrors and I know for a fact they don't tow pretty much at all.

Anyone have experience? Do they help with better visibility?

 

That sounds annoying. Wider, plus blocking more frontal view. The only mirror you maybe need is the passenger side, otherwise I've never seen anyone add more mirrors to make something more "off-road capable"

 

Tell that to Graham Cahill

Mirrors can be expensive to replace, painfully so in some cases. They can easily be removed on close quarters off-roading by trees and such. Kind of like not wearing a cup in baseball, it might be more comfortable most of the time, but it only take one errant whack...

 

I see your point . . . but do they acutally help with visibility is what I'm wondering here

 

A stick on 3" convex circle will always be my preference for all purposes.

 

No

 

No. Forward/side visibility (at 10 and 2) is greatly reduced with tow mirrors. Plus, they extend more so prone to snag on branches.

 

Thanks for your input, guys. No tow mirrors, it is, then

 

I know this is an older post, but I just put some OEM tow mirrors on as I got a good deal on a used set.
Not extended, I thought I measured them to stick out only an inch and a half more than the originals.
The return on the view out ways it for me. I posed the question in a thread a couple days ago and got talked into it.

 

Awesome to hear!
