Default Smaller Mirrors? Powered, maybe...?

I've owned my 2010 Ram ST for two years now, and love it. To the point that yesterday I sold my little Mazda station wagon and am now driving the truck full-time. Yay!

The bad news: My work has a crowded parking garage with small spaces. While I can get my truck in and out of them, I wouldn't mind making it a foot (or more) narrower by swapping out the side mirrors with something smaller.

I bought an el-cheapo model, it doesn't even have power mirrors, let alone turn signals, heaters, or any of the other things that make swapping mirrors difficult and expensive. (It didn't even have power locks, but I was able to install an aftermarket keyless entry.)

I've checked eBay, Amazon, and a few other online sellers that come up with a basic Google search. While they all have a large selection of mirrors available, they are all near-identical replacements for what I have.

Is there a supplier out there that can sell me a lower-profile, narrower mirror?

And this part is very optimistic, but given my success with the keyless entry: Is it feasible for my new mirrors to be power mirrors?

Would the ones of a new Durango work?

Old thread, but I'm wondering if street scene mirrors would work?

I wonder how you get out of the truck if you are parking so close that even the stock mirrors are in the way.

smaller mirrors? Man when I owned my 1500 I only had the regular mirrors, and I was CRYING for the tow mirrors. Basically cause I tow. But when I get into any small car I look at those mirrors and I cant see a thing!

I do however ask the same question of oldjeep...
