Default Mirror question

I pick up my new to me 2015 RAM 1500 Big Horn Friday.

The 2017 Big Horn comes with power folding mirrors, die the 2015?

There are aftermarket options to add power folding mirrors as well. I recently upgraded the towing mirrors on my 2014 to power folding towing mirrors. The aftermarket mirrors look and fit exactly like the OEM mirrors. Once I was done with the install, the only thing that doesn't look OEM is the switch for the power fold.

Rod, Where did you mount the switch at?

I mounted the switch in what I suppose would be called the "sail panel"? It's the little triangular panel that gets removed to access two of the three bolts that hold the mirror on. I figured that way if I screwed it up, or later removed the power option, that would be an easy trim piece to replace. Also, since I tapped in to the driver's door module for mirror power, that prevented me from having to run that many more wires through the accordion boot between the door and the cab.

You must have had a fairly small switch. The one that came with my mirrors was pretty big. I ended up mounting it next to the head light switch.

Looks like the same switch.
Switch mounted for aftermarket power folding tow mirrors.
