I’ve been looking for a set of towing mirrors for my truck. The only ones I’ve found that fit and are fully functional are Ford mirrors that cost nearly $2K. I wish I would have got the factory installed towing mirrors but I didn’t order my truck and had to go with what the dealer could find for me. I think the 3.0L truck requires towing mirrors that have a temperature sensor? What has anyone found yet? I guess I can live without some of the oem features if the price is right.
The oem f150 tow mirrors are not like the superduty f250 mirrors, they are closer to the windows and your passengers can not see out of their mirrors side. They are the nicest mirrors I've ever seen on a f150
Ugh. Wished those worked for me. They’d be cheap. My standard mirrors have the 360 camera, so Ford asks $1,695 EACH for the tow mirrors I need. Highway robbery. It’s just wrong.
This is one of the reasons I have factory-ordered my last two F150s = so I can get exactly what I want and not be forced to accept what a dealer might or might not have ordered.
IF you are forced to go the after-purchase parts route, then I would recommend that you wait for Black Friday time where Ford Parts usually runs a 30% off sale -- attached is a screen shot from last year's e-mail as proof this unicorn does exist. Figure if you are going to pay Ford their ridiculous after-purchase parts price for them, then you should wait and at least buy them marked down 30%, which would be ~$750 off the list price of these mirrors....
I plan to take advantage of this year's Black Friday sale to purchase a block heater and cable.
Jmperlik, I am so thankful for you! I pretty much wrote them off, but if I can find the mirrors for $2100 and get a discount, I’ll buy them for sure. I’m setting a reminder in my phone to start looking in November. Thanks again.
@Smokewagun - I just happened to log into Ford Parts yesterday to see if they had the Block Heater in-stock, and low-and-behold I got this targeted e-mail in my Inbox this morning:
=> It's for 5% off on only certain Product Lines, but it is good thru the end of the year (12/31/19)
=> I would register/create an account now before Black Friday to get on their mailing list for these types of promos

They attach/detach in seconds, give that extra view needed and do not vibrate. Take them off when not towing to save a fraction on mpg and not get in the way in tight parking spaces. Clip back on when pulling the TT. I've got at least 8,000 miles with this set and 0 issues.
I have had bad luck getting towing mirrors, have ordered 2 set's that did not line up or fit correctly, today went to dealership to pick up ordered oem mirrors, as he is carrying my mirrors to my truck, he asked why are you replacing your mirrors, right then I knew he ordered wrong mirrors, yep I pointed to my truck told him you DID order TOWING MIRROR? NOPE.
HE DID NOT LISTEN TO ME, I HAD 2020 f150 xlt towing mirror I installed, OEM, he told me they are not available on F150.
Then how did I go online thru ford order f150 tow mirrors that plug and play with no issues.
Let's see what I get in the next few days!
I ordered my tow mirrors from Nate at Fairway Ford, told him what I had and what I wanted, and got exactly the oem tow mirrors for my F150 Platinum Diesel.
My truck came with tow mirrors stock. I got them replaced with non-towing mirrors. I would be happy to let go of them. $750 + shipping, or reasonable offer, that's what I paid for the non-tow, just want to break even. I can re-install them and take a YouTube to make sure they still work, if you're interested shoot me a message. They're chrome caps with the blind spot, 360, and and power fold. Been sitting in my shop since mid 2019.
@gun-driver I don't know how to contact him but it seems he hasn't been around since March. Sure wish I could be of more assistance.
