Folding mirrors
Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the mirrors on the F150 Lariat (lighted, heated, power), with the lighted, heated, power folding mirrors from the King Ranch? I would guess the wiring harness is the same. Is it just a simple swap out. If so, does anyone know where I can buy them? The dealer was not much help. Thanks.

Can be done, but...
Yes you can do it, however you will need both mirrors, a new switch (for power fold function) and a power folding mirror module. You would need to obtain at a minimum the wiring pigtail for the power folding mirror module and you would need the pins for the mirror and switch connectors. You need to add 5 wires to the vehicle that probably are not present on anything other than a HD or KR truck. Sounds expensive....

The only options are spend extra $ for new mirrors or extra $$$ and get a King Ranch. The jury is still out because I still have 1-2 months until it's time to make the new vehicle decision.

Does anyone have an idea of what's involved in removing the mirrors?I would imagine you would pop off the interior trim piece(triangle shaped) and there should be a few nuts to remove is this about right or is there more to it?

Sounds like it's possible. Maybe I should check with a few different dealer's to see how much $$ it will cost. I think the switch is already in place, but it sounds a little complex without a service manual.

Don't be sure about the switch, the power fold function operates only with the switch in the off or mid position. I am fairly certain it will be different for a power folder.
