Default Retractable Mirrors?

I thought the window sticker/build sheet for our 2009 Laramie said retractable mirrors, but now I cannot confirm this because the damn dealership pitched the window sticker which I have always kept in the glovebox after purchase. Where would the button be to retract them if I do have it?

Thanks, Scooby

MOPAR trailer mirrors manually extend/retract...stock mirrors don't.

Did it say retractable or "power folding"? It's misleading, but they're power mirrors that you can also manually fold. I asked about it and was disappointed. I like how you can fold the mirrors with a button on the Tahoes for example.

One of those options that I just don't see the benefit for me. Mine have been folded twice. Once at the dealer to squeeze in inventory and once when I was paranoid they were going to hit the posts at the car was (touchless is all we have, it sucks). But just being paranoid, plenty of room.

The F-150 guys can have their "power folding mirrors" I'll keep my 390HP and 407 lbft!
