Yes. Should have said. It's a separate switch. The fold toggle you just pull and release.
I really don't use them much as it's not my DD, and I don't have a garage to park it in. Mainly when I tow the travel trailer. Plastic gears though Ford!?

no news yet... sitting at the dealer.. they recreated the trans slow engage issue and have to pull the tranny to replace the front pump..
trying to get them to recreate the mirror problem, take the pics and get it approved and mirror ordered if not one in stock.. I need my truck back..
(altho I have an 2016 F150 as the warranty rental, feels like 1/2 a truck compared to the dually!)

Yep, Ford requires the dealers to take 5 pictures from various angles. ANY signs of impact or damaged to the outside housing and they are not covered. I had both of mine replaced within the 4 years I owned my 2011 F250. SUCH A HEADACHE. Hopefully you don't have any issues. If you do, Autonation.com appears to have the best prices for them. Remember, there are several models of mirrors and even some that are identical to others but with different part numbers. This alone can make the price vary from $600-$900 for the mirror. I believe the dealerships have part numbers for wholesale pricing or something.
