The new ford at work for plowing snow needs a mirror on passenger side. The insurance adjuster said it would cost 1070.00. Mirrror has power adjustment,heated,directional lights . Too much stuff for me. I wonder what the King Ranch chrome ones cost? plowking

These mirrors have been out since 2008 with the 6.4s so I'm sure there's something aftermarket out there.

anyways I have brushed things in the past with these mirrors but its been very minor as they stick out a long ways. called up my local dealer and with repair shop discount its $460 to replace the mirror, which is a great price as they go for over $600 on ebay. ouch thats expensive.

Did you get the coyot?

Seems like the 6.7 trucks are allergic to coyots, if I remember it right, it was not long after Randito done shooting a coyo that he lost a exhaust valve.

Yup, I feel your pain. I broke mine the day before Thansgiving 2010 and was thoroughly disgusted with the replacement cost. I ended up patching it up with Gorilla tape and never got around to replacing it when I traded it in.

Busted the passenger side mirror on mine backing out of the garage. (Insert joke about looking in your mirror here!) If I remember right, just the little chrome cap on the top of the mirror was another Benjamin or so added onto the cost of the mirror.
