power folding mirrors

How hard and costly would it be to upgrade xlt mirrors to lariats with the ability to fold in. It seems to have to order the lariat to get those mirrors.

The hockey mit style mirrors don’t stick out far enough to need folded in imo.

why are you wanting folding mirrors ?

Drive on and off a ferry everyday and not much room between vehicles pulling on and off also the deckhand has trouble getting past without having to fold your mirrors out of the way to get by while collecting fares. So having folding mirrors plays a big role I just can't see the added expense for a Lariat when I just want the mirrors.

I see & can certainly understand that application
. Are you in BC ?

this summer was my first drive on ferry crossing .
way up in Dawson City YT across the Yukon River Headed to AlaskA via the Top of the World Hwy (dirt)

I agree that XL STX & XLT Should have power mirrors AND folding Option too
