Looking at getting a 8ft wide trailer, do you think I'll need the get the tow mirrors for the dakota, or will the mirrors I have work?

another thing is I have the stick on bubble mirrors and I backed up to the trailer and the vision wasn't bad, even without the bubble mirrors on there, I could see pretty good.
are there regulation for towing cert. sized trailers? and having a cert. amount of visibility?

Thanks

I have pulled a trailer similiar to the one you mentioned and I have the additional mirrors. They help and only cost like 2.00.

I'm pretty sure there are no laws demanding more than what you have, but pretty sure by the end of the first drive without something beyond what you have now, you'll be wanting something. Passing situations are a huge PIA without....

Having pulled a trailer through Manhattan in rush hour, the heavier traffic gets the bigger you wish your mirrors were. You can get a set of the clip on mirror extensions for not too much and they will make your life easier.
