I hope not! Hard to tell what the Ram does when I'm asleep, maybe that explains all the gas usage

Speaking of tow mirrors, went to the local Wally World, had a Ram behind with with invisy trailer going on, and a Ram on the other side of the road with invisy trailer going on.

WTF!

All the "farm" boys (or so they claim) in town here have theirs flipped up all the time. Even the newer trucks that mommy and daddy bought for them have the mirrors flipped. I for one wouldn't trade my little mirrors for those. Not ideal for tight trails haha.

Well, yeah, ya know, a guy pulling a trailer went by on the highway while they were sitting in the Hardee's drive-thru, so it's legit.

I hear tell that all the babes know that only guys who are Not To Be Trifled With and sporting Johnsons of extraordinary proportion are allowed to run with their tow mirrors extended and/or fog lights on a clear night. And the clincher? A big freakin' decal in the back window. You got that decal, tow mirrors, and fog lights, and you'll be beatin' off.

Women with sticks? Nah, no women gonna be anywhere near ya.

So guys, how about if you need towing mirrors, get the type that slides over your current mirrors and clips on, and when they aren't needed anymore it just comes off... Sounds like the best fix...

Ive got nothing against the mirrors.. Its the fact the 90% of people keep them flipped up with no trailer and that is just stupid and pointless.. I actually like the way they look and they do come in handy when you need them.. Like when I haul hay I use them.. But with no trailer and driving around town there is no need

If they work...the ones I tried kept going out of adjustment all the time. I just bought some of the old school ones with big aluminum frames and a stretchy belts with hooks that attaches on the door sill. Got them off Craigs List for like $5-10 iirc.

Hey now! Don't hate!
Besides, the factory fogs are these trucks are kinda crap anyhow....

I like having the little bit of extra road coverage the fogs provide.


I should get some towing mirrors.





























And take a picture with them flipped up, just to **** y'all off.
