    :jester: @ some of the comments. "will it fly". It's also kinda funny how the OP never posted any side pics up. I'm betting they fit like t total shat is why.

    Like I said, I understand one's need to see more behind them. I've driven lifted trucks and rode in them and they all had factory sized mirrors and I was able to see fine. I'm guessing the real reason most people want tow mirrors on an F150 is because they feel like the mirrors themselves make their truck look wider/bigger overall, more so then the actual functionality of the mirrors. Which goes back to what I said previously, to each,their own...

    yeah tow mirrors arent for me, my dads got 'em on his 250, but he also pulls a 31ft TT down the road, so he kinda needs them. plus i feel like having those tow mirrors is just asking to clip another drivers mirror on a narrow 2 lane.

    It's also an F250. Totally acceptable for a truck it's size to have tow mirrors. The designers expect trucks that size to be towing larger items then a 150 can haul. Huge tow mirrors on a 150 or a 1500 is like putting a 5th wheel in a Nissan Hardbody, it may look the part, but it just ain't gonna do it...

    I was trying to think of a small pickup truck most people would remember so the Hardbody came to mind. I almost went Nissan 720, but most of these whippersnappers would not have known what I was talking about. :jester:

    VW rabbit pickup comes to my mind! Or even a 82 toyota pickup, smaller than a hardbody espicially with a regular cab, goofy looking with a long bed

    At least the stock Ford mirrors look better than the ebay fortress ones :facepalm:

    I like my tow mirrors since they get rid of all the blind spots and have heat and turn signals :D The regular mirrors looked too small on my big green machine too.

    Tow mirrors work good on lifted trucks and long beds, that's about it
