Default towing mirrors

Has anyone seen these mirrors in real life? It looks like Mopar actually makes a proper towing mirror for our trucks now. Kinda spendy, but might be worth looking into for myself. I'll be towing a 23ft travel trailer now, so the sport mirrors have to go, plus no mirror extension seems to work very well on them. This is copied from the Mopar website.
It said fits 2005 to 2009 Dakota in the book at the dealers when I asked them if anything was available. So 2005 to current.


Trailer Towing Mirror, Exterior

Trailer Towing Mirrors are easily installed to help improve visibility when towing wide or long trailers. All Trailer Tow Mirrors include convex spotter glass for improve blind spot visibility and feature premium-quality glass on a sturdy steel mount tohelp insure stable, vibration-free reflections. Available in Manual, Power Heated and Power Heated with Turn Signal and Side Marker Lights.

I wish they had a pic... I doubt I would drop that kind of cash in mirrors(mainly because I don't have that kind of cas) But some tow mirrors for a Dakota would just look mean.

BTW Your truck is my roll model, lift, bull bar, etc... Looks awesome man.

Hmm, I like that. If I do end up getting a set I'll for sure take some pics with them on for anyone else. Thanks for finding that, Ghost.
