The ultimate Dak towing mirror installed
#21
Nice camper. We tow a 19' Trail Cruiser 191C hybrid travel trailer. Weighs around 3800-4000 pounds when loaded with water and gear. Decent workout for my Dakota (4.7, tow package.) Rockwoods tend to be the heavier trailers on the market. I turned away from a 19' one because it was too heavy. What's the unloaded and gross weight rating on your trailer? Make sure you use a good weight distribution hitch and sway control, along with a good brake controller (one of the Prodigies from Tekonsha.)
Be careful!
Be careful!
These were the only tow mirrors I could find, but the mirrors off the new 1500 4th gen ram are supposed to fit, so any tow mirror for them should work for our trucks.

Yes, they are one of those things that actually looks better in person as well. What hood scoop is that on your truck, Hammer? It looks good.

I believe I got it at Stylintrucks.com for around $160 a couple years ago when they had a "free freight on any order over $100" deal going on. Came color matched for that price.
Was bought as a "band aide" for a dent in the hood caused by a fallen pine limb. Was out hunting on a very windy south Georgia day and when I came back to the truck from the stand I found a huge dent and about an 8' limb broken in pieces all around the front of my truck, was rotted and waterlogged.
The scoop was ok for the money, but they just paint the whole thing the color of the truck, no fake insert for the front like the nicer $320 SRT ones, but I stole a page from the "gutta mesh" grill book and used that in there so it at least has the appearance of being functional.
I plan to make it functional in the next few weeks, cut the front out and a hole in my hood, then re-route my CAI there. I want a second battery and doing this will free up the space on the passenger sidewall for the second battery tray. Kinda kill two birds with on mod, LOL...
