Those can be pretty good for towing. All you need to do is extend them out a little (and put a wide angle mirror in the upper, outer corner). Here's a pic of the driver's side mirror on my truck with a homemade extension. It looks a little redneck, but it works well, and it's easy to return to stock when you're not towing. (There's a slide-in camper in the truck in this pic, without the extensions I really can't see behind it.)

Thanks Brad. Will the dually gooseneck style Mirrors bolt up to the Western Swing Away mirror mounts?

These are not OEM mirrors, they're aftermarket. The OEM mirrors are "Swing-Loks" .. have a round device between the upper arm and the bracket.
