Tow Mirrors

how are the aftermarket (i.e. ebay) tow mirrors for the superduty? are they garbage? do they have an visual differences? when I bought my truck it had an aftermarket electric mirror that wouldnt even telescope inwards! should I just buy OEM again? help!

STAY AWAY from aftermarkets. they vibrate like crazy. friends bought them and that kept me away from them. the 99s didn't telescope. those are the ones i had before i upgraded to the tow/signal mirrors.

I've read on here that they don't stand up to vibration.

My 250 came with the OEM towing mirrors and they're pretty nice. I've added the C-betr's which give you a much better fish eye view but they do add wind noise.

IMO, you'd be better off with the OEMs.
