heated tow mirrors

I found a set for my 2013. The guys swears they are heated, but it doesnt have the little symbol on the mirror. Do they still do that? Also, he says they are a little stiff to fold in, any fixes? Its a good deal at $125 for the set, I just dont want to go through the trouble of swapping out the thermostat dash controls if they wont be heated. Thanks again

I would think the stiffness is important considering they are massive blocks sitting out in the wind. I wouldn't worry about that as I believe they are all that way unless they are power fold.

If you want them, and they are great regardless of heat or not , plus the bottom blind spot mirrors need de icer in the winter anyway. I believe most of them are heated but you'll know once you get the old ones off and goto connect the new ones.

yeah, i am getting them. but my truck didnt have heated mirrors or rear window defrost, so the only way to check is to order a dash unit with defrost button, swap them out and push the button. dont want to go through that if its def not gonna work. i will if someone says they have heated mirrors without the little symbol. thank you

ok, cool. thank you very much. i think all the newer ones with lights and turn signals are just automatically heated now too, why have extra lights with different options if your ford. looks like i will be replacing the heat controls with one that has defrost button. you guys are great.
