Swap mirrors?

I hate towing with the stubby mirrors on my 2023 F350. Anyone know if I can swap with my 2nd gen 2010 F350?

Sure you can!
Just because the 2010 doors are steel instead of aluminum, and a different shape, doesn't mean a thing.
Enough gorilla tape and you can mount those mirrors on anything!

My question, what is "stubby" about the 2024 mirrors???

First off, I'm an airplane mechanic. I'd use aluminum speed tape.

Just seem short and can't get a good vertical view like I was used to on the 2010. Might be the cut off corners. Haven't really eyeballed each for possible compatibility yet.

I had 2010 mirrors on my last F250 (even though it was a 2006), and honestly can't tell a bit of difference with the 2024 style. Yeah the top outer corner is mitered off, but it isn't something I notice. Your question surprises me because even though I knew there was a difference, I had not even thought about it while driving.

Aluminum speed tape. Sounds interesting. Is that like the aluminum duct tape but better?

Yeah good point. I do like the lower spot mirror on 23 better. Turns out the fastener patterns to mount the assemblies are different. Space between the bars are half inch shorter on the 23 so no swapping mirrors between assemblies.

Oh yeah. Sometimes called 500 mile an hour tape. Used to temp patch small holes in unpressurized structure or panels. Its expensive

Having driven basically every model change from '99 to '23, I gotta admit the '23 has the best, biggest mirrors of them all. Yes the upper corner is mitered off (evidently for a mileage improvement on these bricks) but otherwise they've got the biggest convex mirror and the most adjustability out of all of them.
