I like how tight your truck now fits between those poles. LOL. They look good. I need to shanghai some tax money (without the wife knowing) and get a set of those for myself.

Where did you get them and did they keep any of the mirror features?

I wanted to add these to the truck I just bought, but to keep the heated/powerfold feature, they were $700 A PIECE from Ford.

I know the BAMs (Big A$$ Mirrors) are 'manual fold', but I love mine and they make towing my jeep much more pleasurable than with my 02.

While I am back in a Super Duty these days, I must also confess an absolute love for the trailer towing mirrors...regardless of F-150 or Super Duty.

Nice, nothing like a good set of mirrors.

Trucks should have truck mirrors on them.

Looks nice. That's one disappointment with the truck on order, and will have the same issue as bipock ($$$). I wish they would offer the tow mirrors as an option across the board, not just Max Tow. I had the extendables on the SD and that helps a lot. Guess I'll be looking for add-ons at some point, not preferred choice, I do like to keep an eye on a trailer though.
I'm always amazed when I see people pulling say an enclosed sled trailer or a pop-up camper whith a narrower SUV / truck and the factory tiny mirrors. And then commence to drive changing lanes like they're on a track.

Yes they are Ford Mirrors I have same on my truck. But in fords great wisdom they do not have reflectors on the back side and they stick out father then the regular mirrors that have reflectors on them. The F250 mirrors have clearance lights on them. But I wish you could buy the trailer towing mirrors with power fold like the F250 have. Ya guess you have to buy the F250 to get these features.

thees are ford OEM tow mirrors i was thinking about doing the up grade and getting the power fold/exstend till i found out a pair of them where $1150.00 and thats not including how much work to install all the wiring and switch witch was like $65. so i passed and kept my plane Jane's! plus i work for a ford dealership all the time and thay gave me a awesome deal on the mirrors $160 each thats just under what Josh at teska ford or what ever it is called could do! and i had them2 hours after i payed for them a big plus there. and install was a pice of cake!

I put the Ford tow mirrors on a couple months or so ago, and I do agree that there is almost no blind spots with the long convex mirrors on the bottom. Your truck looks real nice.

Congrats on your tow mirrors (BAMS). I have them on my 2010 F150 w/max tow. I noticed you indicated that you also have the chrome package. I do as well and really thought it was odd that the BAMS weren't chromed. So I chromed mine. You can find the chrome tow mirror covers from deluxeautomall. I think it really helps to complete the chrome package.
