I have a trailer I built on the frame of an old camper with a floored area of 15'2", not counting the tongue, for a total length of 17-18 feet. I use it pretty regularly with my Dakota to haul riding lawn mowers, scrap metal, 4 wheelers, whatever I need to haul. I will usually drive a mile or two down the road, and then pull over and double check all of my straps to make sure they haven't loosened as the load settled with bouncing down the road.

While driving though, I like to be able to peek in the mirror and take a look at my load and keep an eye on things, but it's kind of hard to do with the factory mirrors on a Dakota. I can see about the outer most foot or so of my trailer on the driver's side, but I would like to see more of the load I'm moving so I can keep an eye on things, and on the passenger side I can't see much of anything except the side of the pickup, the road, and the front clearance light on the trailer. I can't see the area between the load and the trailer tire (it's a flatbed with no side-rails) so I can't see to make sure nothing has shifted into that tire without leaning way over into the passenger seat, or just stopping and getting out to look.

My question is, do they make tow mirrors that will fit on a Dodge Dakota? Do they use the same mirror mounts as a Ram? Does anybody on here use tow mirrors on a Dakota, and do they look totally ridiculous?
