Best F150 Towing Mirrors

Any time you have a trailer mounted to your truck. Doubling the length of your F150 (or more) vastly hinders visibility and mobility. Stock mirrors won’t reveal the entire length of your trailer, putting you at risk of colliding with someone while merging lanes. Towing mirrors push out the mirrors further away from the cabin, allowing visibility the length of your trailer. The general rule of thumb is for every ten feet increase your mirror size by 1 inch in diameter. The best F150 tow mirrors feature multiple mirrors to minimize blind spots. Smaller circular mirrors, the standard extended mirror, and a low angled bottom mirror.

Like most truck parts, there are a couple of features to be mindful of when looking for your ideal towing mirror. The first consideration is how often do you off-road? If the answer is frequently, the more painless options are clip on mirrors. These serve as extensions to your existing mirrors that you can quickly remove when you hit the trail. The last you want to do is spend a healthy chunky of change for a branch to take it out. If you’re using your F150 strictly for its utility and pavement power, full replacement mirrors are the way to go. Some even offer heated options for those of us in colder climates as well as integrated turn signals. If not turn signals, some mirrors have additional LEDs for visibility to others.
