Default Automatic Reverse Tilt Mirrors?

Can anyone confirm if the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 4X2 Laramie HEMI V-8 has this feature? I just came across a thread on here where someone said they had this but when I put my truck in reverse, the side mirrors do not automatically tilt down. I've had this feature on vehicles before but it's not happening on my Ram. Thanks.

Jason

i take it from your last statement that they are an option, but i dont see it in my evic. i dont have a laramie. i have a sport. so maybe its not an option for mine.

so it must only be for the laramies then. i wonder how hard it would be to add this to the sport? i would think it was a software thing since there are already motors in the backs of the mirrors.

there was a thread someone had posted that they had the dealer turn on this feature with a starscan tool on their jeep. i went to my dealer and they said to have this feature you have to have memory seats. i have the power drivers seat but no memory. i would think that a laramie would have memory seats though.

Thanks for the help!! I found the setting in the EVIC and turned it on. Very very cool to have that feature and now it works...thanks again! I also found the easy exit feature and turned that on too (moves the seat back 2.5 in automatically when you take the key out).

I think this has been discussed before and it's available on models with memory seats, so all Laramies and some SLT/Sport models with the option if I am not mistaken.
