    Just picked up my new oem tow mirrors from Toyota yesterday and had my daughter help me put them on last night. I think they look pretty good! Now I have running lights and blinkers on my mirrors which I did not have before. Seem nice on the drive to work but I will be testing them out this weekend with the trailer.

    Looks good. I put a set on my '12 earlier in the year. They do make the squeeze past the garage door frame much tighter. I like them out on the open road though.

    Ya, I could see that being an issue. I only park in the driveway. Excited to be able to see around the trailer when I tow now

    How are you liking them? I’ve been considering them, but the regular mirrors are pretty large as it is and they do fine when towing. I kinda want the tow mirrors for the blind spot mirror and the lighting. I had some on my F-150 and hated them because the regular square mirror part is too small and it rattled. What do you think of the Toyota ones so far?

    I have some on my Tundra and put some on my previous Tundra as well. I would 100% recommend them to anyone, no rattling but occasionally you will hear the wind howl through the gap between the supports.

    Those have been on my list for some time. I've got an AT Hab, and the view is limited with hard sides and no pass through window to look out of.

    Considered aftermarket, but hate floppy mirrors. Where all did you find the best price on the OEMs?

    I like the manual extend tow mirrors with heated top mirror well enough.
    They seem to do the trick.

    iirc, you lose the BSM with tow mirrors.
    How about heat?

    The heat was nice on the couple frosty mornings I have had the truck(less than 2 weeks as of now)

    My mirrors are split 70% top(heated and adjustable via control on driver's door)
    and 30% lower (manually adjustable and unheated)

    I actually have the lowers aimed at my rear tires as of now to see how close the curbs are since I am getting used to this longbed.

    Seems like plenty of mirror to me...I will be towing soon and will move the lower to give a view of my trailer tires/sides

    Only added $50 bucks to the MSRP it seems according to the Factory Sticker, quite worth it(not that I ordered the truck that way, it just fell in my lap as an back-out custom ordered truck).

    i ordered mine at parts.rosevilletoyota.com
    I live in Roseville so I did store pick up but for some reason you get a better price online rather than ordering over the phone. It gave me $166 off msrp. I think I was just over $415 after tax

    No offense but the OEM ones with that big orange signal lens aren’t the best looking. Look up the trail ridge tow mirrors for the Tundra, much better looking and mount up perfectly and mine don’t have any wiggle or rattles or wind noise that’s noticeable and the lens is tinted, just looks better.

    I just wanted the Toyota oem for longevity personally.

    Are those plug & play and bsm and heat works? Do they have turn signal indication also?
