They glass has a little vibration at highway speeds, but no more than my other mirrors. The magnification on the passenger side mirror seems a bit stronger and takes a little getting used too, but I usually use the smaller convex mirrors anyway.

I have the same ones, great mirrors, mine are power and heated as well, and both functions work flawlessly.

I love my Kool-Vues and yes, that mirror takes getting used to but when you're backing up a 30 footer, it's a God send!

I've had my Kool's for about a year now. My dad has a 3500 with OEM tow mirrors and I can't tell the difference. And the vibration - his vibrate just as much - which isn't really a lot considering they are larger mirrors compared to stock 1500's I would say that being the cause of any vibration. I'd say, given the price comparison and if I had to do it again, I'd get the Kool-Vues again. I worry about sun fade and all that being in S. Fla but again, it's been almost a year so far and they look just as good as day one.

Oh I recently took a pic of my truck (today) regarding my air bags and leveling on this same forum. Check it out. Those are Kool-Vues on the truck.

Okay, how well does the fold out mechanism work? Any flaws?

Nope, they fold out and stay put like they should. I folded mine out before a 40 mile trip Friday just to see how they did. No problems.

Love them and honestly never thought I would, i don't do very much towing and everything I do tow would not require tow mirrors but I do love that look, might get me some just for look
