    What has everyone found to be the best tow mirror for the truck? Anyone found one that works with the safety side alert lighting? I pull a large boat and cannot see around it currently.

    Thanks.

    I have these for a few months now and very happy with them.Smoked turn signal lense looks very nice compared to amber on Oem tow mirrors.As far as quality and functionality i dont see any difference between oem and these.Bsm is a big bonus.Its a shame that Toyota still cant make tow mirrors that work with stock features of the truck even though they have them installed in their commercials.

    I installed Toyota tow mirrors on my truck. I tow a TT and have a camper shell, so lots of blind spots out the back window. With the bottom concave mirrors set right on these tow mirrors, there are no blind spots. When I'm passing or getting passed and the vehicle disappears from view in the upper mirror, you can see them in the lower concave mirror.
    I would recommend these mirrors even if you don't tow anything.

    I have these as well and am very happy with them. Compatibility with the BSM was a huge sell for me. The upper portion is electrically adjusted but the lower is manual adjust. Install was pretty simple but I would highly recommend getting an interior removal tool kit.

    I ordered the BSM tow mirrors from 1aauto.com a couple of days ago, and the next day they called to say they were on backorder until May. So I decided I would take on the challenge of adding power folding tow mirrors to my Limited (they claim they have a harness to do so) since those were in stock...a little over $500 for the pair. When I said I had a 2019, they said these are only guaranteed to 2018, and that they would not guarantee fit, I could not return them if they do not fit, and they will not warrant them on a 2019. What BS. I guess I either risk it or go for OEM. Problem is I've heard varying results with this company's power folding mirrors (failing, sticking, etc), so....eh....
