He wants the towing mirrors like most of us are looking for. I was looking at ones that look similar to what you see on the superdutys but I would prefer a factory looking tow mirror.

Do our chrome mirrors actually fold in? Haha. Also, is there a way to tighten them? My drivers side wiggles A LOT, like going down the freeway I have to adjust it as opposed to in city driving.

I dont see one in your pic, but you don't happen to have a bug shield put on do you? Or, anything that would disrupt the air flow on the front end (besides that brush guard) The reason I asked, is it seems that when these trucks came out, dealers were having a hell of a time with the mirror shakes. They finally found out that the bug shields, and window visors were re routing the air flow, causing this to happen.

I have both bug shield and window visors but my mirrors that are the chrome factory mirrors with power wiggle because there is a bolt inside the housing that holds the shaft in place and it loosens over time allowing the mirror to wiggle back and forth. You can tighten it but it only works its way loose again over time. It also makes it very difficult to fold in your mirrors if you tighten it up too much. Seems to be a poor design by the manufacturer.

^ And if you ever take that shield off it will quit shaking. I know mine isnt doing it right now because the flector is off of it.

I am going to be putting a work cap on it tomorrow anyway so I am gonna get the tow mirrors since my rearview mirror will be useless as there are no windows in the cap. Plus I want the tow mirrors anyway.

No bug shield (thinking about getting one, too many bugs) no window deflectors. Just the brush guard. Never fold in the mirrors, didn't know I could, so I don't care about using some locktight on that screw and tightening it.
