bottom mirror adjustable?

It does take some getting use to the mirrors on this thing. Only a little over 100 miles. Has anyone adjusted the bottom part of the mirror (tow mirror)?

Yes, but manual only. No electric adjustment for the bottom convex mirror.

Side to side and up/down by chance?

Thanks

I thought it a bit odd that the larger top mirror is power adjustable and not the bottom. I'm sure there is a reason other than manufacturing cost. Maybe Ford is saving it for a future model.

You can move it around like an old style manual mirror. Up down left right, whatever.

Similar mirrors on my 2015 ram did not have power adjustability on the bottom part either fwiw.

Maybe. Being convex, it's not nearly as sensitive to seating position, so maybe that's it too.

Yes, it's on a pivot. It'll go any way you want.
If it were power adjustable, I would think that people would get confused with that many buttons. (Not like there's not enough of them the way it is)

I guess that could be a possibility. It would only be an inconvenience if someone came along and moved it on purpose and you didn't notice it until you discovered you can't see the traffic out of that particular mirror. That's when you appreciate a power adjustable mirror.
