    Hello all,
    Has anyone purchased any after market Towing Mirrors?

    I am looking at The ones from Trail Ridge and the only thing I am concerned about is the vibration when extended at highway speeds. Or do they all vibrate at highway speeds, even the OEM Mirrors?

    Link to Trail Ridge: https://www.1aauto.com/2007-19-toyo...MIpfblm4qX4wIVHbbACh23GQsUEAQYASABEgJxr_D_BwE

    Has anyone purchased these? Are they good?

    Thanks,
    Glenn

    I just finished installing mine about 30 minutes ago. I can’t speak for the vibration because I haven’t had a chance to go down the road yet, but I will say that I’m impressed with the quality and fit. I ordered mine through 1A Auto and one mirror from the original shipment had a messed up stud which prevented me from putting a nut on it. I called 1A Auto Monday morning and had a brand new PAIR at my house today. Customer service was spot on!!!!

    Towing to Canada this weekend, so I’ll update on how they do going down the road.

    OEM tow mirrors don’t vibrate at all, ever.

    Have had these on both Tundra's. They're great. No vibrations for me at all. Love em. Works great when towing camper.

    So we towed yesterday for about 10 hours. I noticed some vibration during the trip. It wasn’t horrible, but it was noticeable. The tow mirrors on my SuperDuty vibrate worse, so I can definitely deal with these. I tow a 30’ travel trailer and was pleasantly surprised that the BSM on the mirrors still worked and seemed accurate as far as catching things in my blind spot, even with the trailer behind the truck. When I wasn’t towing, and the mirrors were not expanded, no vibration was noticed.
