Has anyone upgraded their side mirrors?

When I test drove a maverick lariat I noticed that the mirrors were lacking in size and visibility. I definitely see this being an issue for towing. Just seeing what mods people have done. Thanks!

I want to bump this thread up. I too would like larger mirrors. I can see the side lanes ok but can't see behind me very well when towing.

I would replace my side mirrors with a unit that has uninterrupted glass ( no "bubble") if it became available.

I like the mirrors and the bubble in the corner for normal driving. If I was towing something I'd get aftermarket mirrors that stuck out further.

Move to the 21st century and add a camera to the trailer.

I found these on etrailer I will use these until they make an oem replacement.
Ford should have included tow mirrors in the tow package, simply ignorant to leave them off.

Doesn't help you see the side of the trailer which is the point of the mirrors.
Great for seeing whats behind you though.

More cameras.

I guess you don't get the "bubble" when you have heated blindspot warning mirrors. I guess the "bubble" is your old school blind spot system?

Funny.
I purchased those exact mirrors in 2007 for my ESCAPE.

I still have one. One broke.
Kind of hate them.
Unexpectedly DIFFICULT to use.
Look silly. Though would not be used often. But getting a solid fit was a PiTA so it was no joy.

Agree. I find the bubble distracting.

If you don't have heated mirrors you could just order XL no CP360 mirrors. Those have no spotter.

Somebody please post photos of style with bubble. I have none. But I know you can buy self-adhesive ones cheaply at any auto parts store.

My Edge has the bubble. I never use it, just check my blind spot as you should anyway. I like the blind spot light because it'll catch your attention if someone moves into it after you checked it.

I'm glad there aren't tow mirrors, I wouldn't want them despite 4k. Most people won't tow enough to warrant them, and those that do will add.

Can you add mirrors with blinkers? That is one thing I do wish they had.

I guess. Lux pack item? More shit to break, KISS.
