Default Tow mirrors

I ordered these after learning here on DF they were available for my 97'
I obsolutely love them. I think it made my truck look more like what it really is a TRUCK. The OEM ones weren't bad, I have the black and chrome scheme which I love but the chrome mirrors just weren't mixing in very well.
Thank you all for the great info about our trucks.

Sweet Truck man. So with that lift and big tires what mpg's you getting? I'm assuming you still have 3.55 gears.

I like those mirrors. A guy here who has a truck with a "thin blue line" license plate installed the ones that were Power and were heated. I need to find those ones. so i can hook up all the bells and whistles on my 2001.

I'm running 4.56's front and rear and mpg's will suffer with any size lift and after market oversize tires. I think I'm getting about 10 mpg more or less depending on my right foot (spirited driving) and weather I'm towing or not.

Mine are powered but not heated. I'm not sure they come heated for a 97' and older year models. My OEM's weren't heated.
