Default Mirror Question

As you guys must know, our mirrors dont let you see anything. so i was thinking of swapping them. doe anyone know what ones are a direct swap? and if ones from a 2nd and 3rd gen. dakota fit? also what about 2nd gen rams? I was looking at these () towing mirrors made for 3rd gen dakotas but before i start trying to save up the $400 i wanted to know if they would even fit. also pictures of any swaps would be nice. thanks.

There are 2 different mirror sizes that came on Dakotas. Since you say they don't cover nothing I'm assuming you got the small crappy black Sport mirrors. The large chrome 6x9 mirrors are the same size the Rams have. I believe the Rams use the same mounting pattern as the Dakotas.

I got the 6x9's they are great, they cover all that is needed. I even have plenty of room for 2 small blind spot mirrors, perfect for towing and hauling.

Small "Sport" mirrors.


Large 6x9 mirrors.
