Comparing CIPA and K-Source Clip-On Towing Mirrors for a 2012 Toyota Tundra
Question:
I have a 2012 Toyota Tundra with heated and adjustable mirrors, I do not have turnsignals. Looking at your products CM11300 and KS81300 which would be the better option? The Cipa have more reviews but do reference vibration, mounting issues, inability to work with power mirrors and they have a exterior screw to clamp on. The KS series seem to just clip on and look better atleast in the pictures. Any other feedbacks or your recommendations?

Both the K-Source towing mirrors, # KS81300, and the CIPA towing mirrors, # CM11300, do fit if your 2012 Toyota Tundra has electric and/or heated stock side mirrors. They will not fit Limited or Platinum models though.
I agree that the K-Source mirrors would look better but you would get a tighter fit with the CIPA mirrors. With any clip-on towing mirror there is going to be some vibration. It is just an unavoidable issue with this type of mirror design.
Replacement mirrors, see link, would be the best in minimizing vibration and they will look fantastic. That is the route I would take but if choosing between the K-Source and CIPA clip-on mirrors I would go with CIPA because I believe they would have the least vibration between the 2.
