tow mirrows
I have tried searching for tow mirrows for excursions on here but come up with nothing. I have an 01 Ex and I am looking to upgrade the mirrows to tow mirrows so I can hauk my camper. I would like some with the signals but it is not a must. Who out there has upgraded their mirrows and what year did you go with, heated or not, signals or not. I am looking something that bolts right up or with slight modification. thanks

Any of them will work from the 99- up to the 09.
With the 08/09 you get the option of power fold and extend for the lazies like myself that always fold them so they don't get knocked off. The mirrors will mount after a small nub gets ground off the mounting plate. The plugs are different and you have to wire them in. If you add the other stuff that you don't have stock like signal, heat you will have to wire that up. The power fold/extend will need some switches and wiring to make them work, but is easily doable. In fact I spent more time adding signals to mine than I did getting the power fold wired in.

Added switches for power fold/extend.

FYI...if you haven't seen this...here is a link that is a good tutorial on how to install the mirrors...
New Mirror installation
I know the telescoping mirrors are a huge improvement over the paddle styles I used to have...much improved view of the road!
Good luck with the search...

But I agree with you...they should have all had towing mirrors AND a rear sway bar before they left the factory!!!
