Side View Mirrors

Frequently Asked Questions

These towing accessories are built with specialized designs, extending them and letting drivers see as far back as possible. The exact mechanisms of towing mirrors will vary depending on the type.

There are a few different types to examine before choosing one for your truck.

Clamp-style:

Clamp-style mirrors are widely popular because of how stable and sturdy they are. They’re also very simple to set up, making them an obvious choice for many truck owners who want a low-effort, hassle-free towing enhancement.

Suction:

Suction mirrors work by suctioning to the vehicle’s pre-existing mirrors. In just a matter of seconds, you can extend rearview and blind spot visibility out of your truck by several inches. These are a more impermanent, less heavy-duty option. They're the best towing mirrors for those who only require a short-term solution for infrequent use at an affordable price.

Electric/Power-Adjustable:

These mirrors are designed to give the user control over mirror positions. Power-adjustable mirrors are typically found on modern vehicles with powered mirrors. Power-adjustable mirrors will not only replace your vehicle’s existing side mirrors, but maximize convenience. Perfect their position without even stepping foot out of your truck!

Strap or Clip-on:

Strap or clip-on towing mirrors temporarily clip onto pre-existing side mirrors using durable plastic clips or straps. While not ideal for long-term, heavy-duty towing, clip-ons are great for occasional towing because they can be attached and removed with ease. Clip-on towing mirrors are highly versatile and compatible with most vehicles. If you’re looking for a super quick and effortless towing improvement, clip-on mirrors are the best towing mirrors to go with.

Slide-on:

Also known as towing extension mirrors, slide-on mirrors are designed to slide over your existing vehicle mirrors, extending your field of view. They are similar to clip-on mirrors, but they slide on with a custom fit rather than clip-on. The custom fit of slide-on mirrors makes them less universal and versatile, so you’d have to make sure it would fit your vehicle’s mirrors. The plus side to the slide is a more secure fit and streamlined appearance. Slide-on mirrors are a semi-permanent modification, suitable for those who tow frequently.
