Oh, man, I think I have to have these mirrors. I actually really really want the power extend/fold option. Would make getting in/out of my garage much faster and I could fold them in parking lots to help my neighbors get in their cars without running into the mirrors.

Curt--do you have part numbers for power/fold mirrors?

They were about $425.00 each, not bad considering they list for $1000 in 2011!

The lower mirror really helps with backing up & seeing both sides of your truck!

Curt, are you pretty sure on the part numbers? Tousley does not recognize these numbers in their system.

I am looking forward (rearward?) to the bigger convex mirror. I already use mine every time for lane changes on the interstate.

I used the manual ones on my last truck and was very satisfied.

What is the difference between the 2008 mirrors and lets say the 2011's? Or are the mirrors the same except for one more mounting stud?

Thanks. Do the snaps glue on or can they be drilled?
