Welcome from NY.
You can get plug and play towing mirrors and you can even upgrade to turn signals and marker lights you just have to add some wires.
Do a search for tow mirrors and you will see your options.

 

would you get the toyota mirrors or opt for the less expensive manufacturers?

 

Welcome here, I have the OEM, pretty good and I also added 3" Diameter Blind spots too because I really really like to make sure of what is going on around me. I don't let technology drive my vehicles. I have read both good and bad reviews of others.

Adding OEM tow mirrors (or aftermarket) will give you the sidemarker/turn signal lights without additional wiring if my memory serves. I had OEM on my 2007 and like them. Due to the cost of the OEM, I went with ebay aftermarket oem-style mirrors. Fitment was poor and left a gap at the top of the mirror plate where it attaches to the door. I ended up returning them and stick with non-tow mirrors for now.

 

Welcome from up in WA.
The OEM tow mirrors will be plug and play and will include turn signals and marker lights on the outer edge (amber LED) plus heat and power adjust.

if you want puddle lights, rear facing flood lights, or power fold, you’ll have to go with after market and add some wiring of your own. If you just want in-glass turn signals in addition to marker /running lights, then look at after market lights that are plug and play.

As others said, you’ll gain mirror blinkers & marker lights. OEM tow mirrors have heated & power adjust, too, but be forewarned, OEM tow mirrors do NOT have BSM. You have a limited, so do I. You’ll lose BSM If you buy OEM tows.

I opted for OEM anyway because of the many many reviews I read about aftermarket mirrors (some of the aftermarkets do come with BSM functionality) being really crappy. Some said that on this thread. The majority of the bad reviews I’ve read for aftermarkets was for mirror shake at highway speeds. Makes the mirror blurred because it shakes so much.

So I opted for the quality of OEM. There is a BSM mod that you can do for OEM tow mirrors, where you put an LED light in the sail panel on the window. I did that for my OEM tows and it worked out perfect.

And if you really wanna get fancy, you can add power-fold functionality to your Limited. A lot more wiring to do, but I did that as well and it worked out great. The power-fold tow mirrors are a lot more expensive though.

This guy did power fold & his write up was very helpful to me:

Sorry for the “other site” reference, but this one was very helpful too from what I recall:

Thanks to All.
I went with the Toyota Mirrors and could not be happier.
No shake and a perfect fit the first time.
