Expand your field of vision and reduce blind spots with these easy-to-install, slip-on towing mirrors. By attaching these mirrors to your factory side-view mirrors, you'll be able to see past the end of your trailer so you can safely change lanes, pass other motorists, and park. The housing of each slide-on mirror is constructed of durable ABS plastic, as are the included components.
This set fits factory mirrors like those pictured above.
These towing mirrors are designed to seamlessly fit the contours of your factory side-view mirrors. Each one includes felt padding inside the housing that protects the factory mirror body from scratches and scuffs. Installation is a snap - just slide the towing mirror over your OEM mirror and insert the provided arm and hand knob through the back of the mirror housing. Then hook the arm around the inside edge of your OEM mirror. Finally, tighten the hand knob to secure the towing mirror in place.

The mirrors have performed excellently for a year. I will most likely need to change trucks before I will need to change mirrors. thank you for a great product.
Mirrors are easy to take on and off and feel very secure. Which makes them work very well for towing my camp trailer during the summer.
i do question longevity of these mirrors because attachment is based on tension of a plastic threaded bolt.
These mirrors seem to be well-made and are advertised as fitting all Ford vans from 1997 - 2002. I own a 1999 E350, and while the mirrors slide over the existing mirrors, they do not quite match the external shape of my mirrors - which are the stock factory mirrors . My mirrors are also a bit wider than these mirrors were designed for, so the hole for the attaching clamp does not extend far enough to the inside for the provided attachment clamp to fit through it. I was able to fabricate a clamp using a large picture hangar hook, a 3.5 inch 10-32 bolt, an aluminum sleeve cut at 45 degrees, a couple of washers and a nut, so I will be able to use the mirrors, but it has taken a bit of doing. Can't really find anything else other than complete factory mirror replacement, so for me, they should do the job.
The CTM2500 Fit my 2000 Ford E250 van power factory mirrors very nicely. They mounted easily and with the single screw knob clamped up tight. They also folded-in with the factory mirrors. I have not had the opportunity to "use" the mirrors while towing yet. The CTM2500 mirrors look real good mounted on my van (see photos).

I only used the mirrors for a couple short runs this summer close to home. They do fit well and work. I did get some vibration of the glass while on the road. I want to look into that before next year.
The driver side mirror we had a little problem with, as the screw and hole do not line up without a little encouragement, but other wise we are quite happy with the mirrors, the EASE of installation, and the fact that a week or two ago, we were coming home with the trailer and were lucky enough to get hit by the 60 and 70 mile an hour winds of a storm we got caught in, but the mirrors held firm. No need to readjust or anything.
Yes, I would recommend them to others. These particular mirrors are on our 2002 Ford E-150 Van.
I did a test fit and I think it will work fine.
VERY happy with the mirrors. Easy to install and the price was right. They really helped out towing my camper. Unfortunately, I sold my 1999 Ford van so now I need to find some for my 2022 Ram pick up.

Kind of a bummer to sell the van, however congrats on the new 22 Ram pickup. Happy to see what we have in towing mirrors, I just need to know if you have a 1500, 2500, or 3500? Is it a new body style?

Id be happy to see what you have to offer. I had the slip on mirrors for my Ford van and also had them for a previous Chevy Astro and was happy with both. Now I have a 2022 1500 classic older body style.

I have a set to offer that are snap on mirrors. They are part # KS80710 from K Source. The only tech note is that they do not fit SLT models.
Installation is easy. The mirrors vibrate a little, but must less than other mirror extenders that I have tried. These provide good visibility for changing lanes and backing my trailer up.
I purchased these just hoping to be able to have more rear sight when towing my trailer with my E 150. They worked great gave me a lot more vision. They were super easy to install. Once installed they were very sturdy, so much so that I left them on all the time. I recommend them 100%.

I do not use them anymore, I purchased a 2013 ford explorer and they will not fit it and your company does not have the same type mirrors for my new vehicle. If you did I would get them.

I bought something in a rush from u-haul for our first trip with the new travel trailer. I was not happy with them. I picked these up for the next trip. They mounted well, stayed stable and were fairly easy to set. They provided better viewing and from a distance looked like factory mounted mirrors. I "accidentally" kept them on for a month between trips even without the trailer and they stayed in place. They have been great for my E-150
i own an econoline ford van that i bought the extention mirrors for they do not fit verry well at all. they will work(i think) but look terrible on my van. since there is no other aftermarket mirror i can buy they will have to do. the people at etrailer were on top of the mailing and tracking their websight made it easy to find what i was looking for as well. good place with alot of product but the mirrors are not a very good product atleast for a ford van
The extensions fit tightly - didn't need the extra pads.
One of the brackets stripped its thread and won't tighten.
This product could use metal brackets for strength.
The mirrors adjust well and I think it will be very useful when towing my travel trailer.
As soon as I received your product.opened the box and saw the mirrors I was very impressed. They were just what was advertised. It took me less than an half hour to install and when I drove my vehicle I could tell that they were just what I needed for towing my travel trailer. When I backed my van up to the trailer I could see down both sides of the trailer just perfect. Thanks Fred W
I have never used them. After installing them according to the instructions they did not fit snugly. Further the vibration from the engine made them blurry. Additionally, though the product was not damaged, the box they arrived in was shredded and taped back together with packing tape.
Nice quality product that works. I do experience a little mirror shake but it is much less than previous extension mirrors I have tried. They also install and remove easily.
Bottom line is they do what they are designed to do.
These fit the Ford mirrors quite well and mount securely. However, they are hard to adjust. It feels like the ball and socket are out of round. If I get them adjusted to where I have a good field of view, a little driving vibration will have them out of adjustment. Then drivers side is not too bad. I can get it close to where I would like it. However the passenger side mirror always pops to a position which gives me a view much too low. Since this is the curb side, it is only a little annoying. Another item that is just average is the mounting hardware. It breaks much too easily. It wouldn't have added much cost to make the hardware out of a reinforced plastic. I am now ordering my third set.
As mediocre as there are, I have yet to find a better solution.
Good service and shipping. However the mirrors do not fit the E350 well, or at all. They do not fit the shape of the stock mirrors. Even when force is applied, the mounting holes do not work. Other reviews have noted the same problem. One person had to make his own mounting system. Maybe I will see if Gorilla tape will live up to its reputation.
these tow mirrors aren't any good they wouldn't fit well and you can't see the back end of my 24 feet toy hauler, so they are in a box in storage. we bought other tow mirrors they are the greatest.
The mirrors are perfect for my 2001 E-150. Tough to find tow mirrors for that year unless you want to pay $$$$. The original shipment had the wrong install kit but a note to customer service solved that as they sent a new kit. All went well with the install. Worth the money Great customer service.
A great alternative to expensive mirrors, lets you see down the sides of the trailer. I bought a pair for a friend of mine as a birthday present he really likes them also.
great fit , used already work great and a great price . what i like is you can remove them after towing and store instead of having a large set of permanent mirrors
Love the mirrors, especially the wife . And they were a third of the cost of a factory extension mirror for our van.
Good price and Easy installation but that means Nothing if the mirror will only stay adjusted for ten minutes! It just shakes out of adjustment with No way to tighten up the mirror pivot joint.
Useless...except they look cool.
Was easy to install on my 99 E350 super duty van. They shake some going down the highway but work great for backing my camper into the camp site and that is what i bought them for.
As advertised. Received promptly. Just bought a Travel trailer and needed to see my rear markers to negotiate traffic and parking. Looking forward to hitting the road when it thaws out.

The mirrors help, but the actual mirror vibrates too much to see clearly while towing.
