Could you tell me how much the new mirrors cost? My truck has the tow mirrors with chrome caps and I'm not crazy about the way they look.

1st off,sorry about the caps in my 1st post.after posting it i was told people think your yelling when you type in caps.not sure why but never the less i'm sorry'
the mirrors came off ebay from a 2010 king ranch, the guy put tow mirrors on his.i paid 220 fir the pair a great deal.if you go to ford i was told tasca ford most likely has the best prices.the switch cost $11 . i dont know how much ir will cost to finish the job if any $ at all.i will definately post a detailed how to when i figure it all out.if you do it good luck.FYI,the actual swap is a breeze.

I would like to get rid of the tow mirrors as well and get some power folders. The tow mirrors don't fit in my garage, it's 9' wide
