Looking for tow mirrors!!!

I'm a Dodge.

 

Just bought a new-to-me 2019. Are there different bolt patterns within 07-21? I’ve been looking at a couple mirrors and some say 07-17, while a others have said 09-21. The Boost ones say 07-21. I’m confused.

 

Welcome to the forums, this thread is specific to the 2000-2006 trucks which are different. Your question better suited for the 2014-2021 forums. https://www.tundras.com/forums/2-5-gen-tundras-2014-2021.27/

 

My bad. I just did a search and didn’t even pay attention to which gen forum I was in.

 

I just started on converting my 2006 Tundra DC xsp over to the Dodge mirrors. I got the passenger side done today. These are the ones I got on ebay 272483986384 they were about $115.00 for the pair delivered. I thought they would be cheap but actually look to be pretty good. Getting the wiring figured out was the hardest part. Is the install perfect? Hardly. Does it work yes. Seems to be pretty solid. I'm showing the way I wired it. And they work as they should (up down left right) The pins were different on the dodge mirrors so I just spliced them together. Took me about 3 hours to do this one side.

 

Those mirrors look like they fit well. Do you have any photos of how they are mounted against the body?

the mirror size was one of my biggest complaints when I had my 05 years ago.

 

Better than others I've seen, but then I zoomed in on things, curious about the lower fitment. Probably looks good from 5ft away, definitely looks awesome driving down the road, but I'd be worried about leaks especially on this lower I'm seeing. Still, better fit than half the other stuff I see people rigging onto their rides.

 

Wrapped up install of the Dodge mirror.
Definitely referenced your wiring pictures here, although the pins in my new mirrors were the same so I just swapped pins over

 

Here is some close up shots for the curious.

 

What kinda goo did you use on the top and bottom?

 

I used my Tundra mirror gaskets and will probably follow up with some silicone around the edges. I just pulled my Travel Trailer to a local campground and it was really nice to see whats going on back there. So glad I found this post and everyone's input.

 

Just some rtv, hopefully seal out some water

 

It may have been asked, or stated, but I didn't see it. These are 2002-2009 Dodge ram tow mirrors? Yes?

 

I think it’s 99-07 or something but yes

 

@CodyP Whats the latest on the tow mirrors? Do they still move a ton?

 

I took mine off as I didn’t like the ‘fit’ and the cheaper non OE mirrors wiggled quite a bit when towing. I just went back to the Cipa slide-ons that fit our mirrors and run those the 2-5 times a year I tow a TT.

I still need to have my buddy fab up a base adapter to go from 2006 to 2007 and then just use newer Tundra tow mirrors.

 

2nd Gen Tundra tow mirrors would be the one thing I would consider.

 

Hmmmm. Sounds interesting.

I don't tow often but I wouldn't mind the option.

 

Bumping this old thread back. Anybody else do this mod lately? Based on the pics the 99-02 dodge mirrors flange fits better on AC than double cabs but still doable.

I’m going to start towing a bay boat with this thing and definitely need tow mirrors to back down ramps and between my fence gate. The slide on ones that clamp for our trucks look AWFUL.

 

The clip ons are awful. Just make sure to get good quality dodge mirrors because the first ones I used shakes rattled and rolled! May try a better set again

 

Do you think the mounting area was an issue on your DC for leaks etc? Or was the rattle mostly in the mirror area itself because they were cheap?

 

They were pretty snug to the truck but I would still worry about water intrusion around where the door and mirror meet. Most of the tattle was because of the actual glass moving a lot and not so much the ‘body’ of the mirror itself.

 

Thank you for this thread. I was looking for so long and I found it finally.

 

It’s too bad it doesn’t have better news. It’s sad/unfortunate the tow mirrors from other trucks bolt up like shit, introduce water intrusion problems even if you slather on gobs of sealant, and require drilling perfectly good sheet metal to cobble them on. I wish someone would make a decent aftermarket plug-and-play option.

 

Very true. I wanna except the fact that they don't make tow mirrors for this gen but, One day I will find the time to actually purchase and try these make-shift tow mirrors.
