I have power mirrors on my '11 - they don't automatically close, but I push the button almost every time I park it, and have never had an issue with the mirrors.
Not sure how many cycles that has been over the last 10 years, but a ton!

You truck can act that way.

I assume this is a Forscan screenshot? Unfortunately I'm unable to use the software. No PC at home and only an Apple tablet to bring outside and their software doesn't support Apple mobile devices yet. Maybe someday they will.

Ask on the forum for some local to you. It takes less that 5 minutes to do and I'm sure someone would be willing to help for a cup of coffee and a chance to meet a fellow truck enthusiasts.

That's a good idea. Maybe I'll come up with a few adjustments that I'd like made all at once and then start asking around. Thanks for the idea.

Mirror fold option

I've got Forscan and what you describe I had on my 2021 motor year but 2022 will not work.

If you have them extended for towing, do they retract first or just fold? And if they retract, do they extend when they open again?

They only extend/retract if you physically push the button on the door. The auto fold feature (no matter if its plain old auto fold, or Lincoln style) only folds the mirrors.
