    At that price, you are looking in the right places. Just keep looking and reading reviews until you find one you are comfortable buying.

    I bought a set of OEM tow mirror on Facebook marketplace for $40. Check there and just get some OEM ones if you are concerned about the optics.

    I've gone through two sets of Trail Ridge aftermarket mirrors (one used and one new) and both sets had the power folding mechanism die. One kept buzzing trying to open so i cut the wire. The other one folds in about 2" when you hit 70, so i sunk a couple of "stop screws" into it!

    And I bought a set from MostPlus but the distortion was terrible and at 70 they vibrated so much I couldn't even see. Total garbage.

    I'm really reluctant to go with any other aftermarket ones like Boost or whoever because of this poor quality I've experienced.

    Can anyone confirm the Toyota OEM part number for a good tow mirror for my 2016 SR5 with the same features as the one above:
    • Extending
    • Folding (does not have to be power)
    • Heated upper and lower glass
    • DRL and sequential turn signals
    • BSM lights
    • "Reverse" lights
    I have part numbers 87910-0C950/87940-0C950 but the dealer can't confirm the fit with my truck because the VIN doesn't match that mirror. I'm betting a 1794 with tow package in 2016 had that mirror as an option. My last resort is to take mine to the dealer, and open up boxes of stock until I find the right fit.

    Factory tow mirrors, to my knowledge, do not exist with your specs. You'll have turn signals, heated upper, and optional power fold.

    If you search the forum there a bunch of threads on how to wire them, but all the other options you want are only.fou d in aftermarket.

    Boost Auto, while the most expensive option, is likely to be your best option. Little wiring could be involved depending on your trim and what your lighting preferences are (back up light and DLR vs turn signal only on front marker on mirror) but nothing that should deter you. Mirrors are rock solid. Heating function is even and quick to work. Power function is great. My wife got too close to a Ram a few months ago and hit his mirror with my BA mirror and it annihilated the Ram mirror into 50 pieces and just a little scratch on the BA mirror and it works as normal. I'd go BA over Stock Tow for better visibility
