Folding Mirrors

I love the power folding mirrors on my 2014 F250 Lariat, really makes a difference in parking lots. Does anyone know if it is possible to make them fold automatically when turning off the vehicle? I know it is a lazy person question but with automatic seats and mirror/peddle position wouldn't automatic folding also be a good idea?

No. This has been discussed before. If you had the smarts, I'm sure something could be rigged up, but it's just not worth it really.

I don't fold them much, unless in tight spot or parking lot. it would be nice but I think it would burn motor up quicker if its always open/close each time you get in/out of truck. A quick push of button is not much to ask, I like to decide when/where to close.

I fold my mirrors in every time I get out of the truck. It's become an automatic function, just like unbuckling the seat belt.

I do the same. People in parking lots, myself included, have walked into the smaller mirrors on my older Fords. The 2013 mirrors stick out even farther.
