2019 Honda Ridgeline
A nice alternative for temporary mirrors for trailer hauling. They didn't interfere with the remote mirror adjustment on the factory installed outside mirrors and held securely once adjusted. I used them on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline.
by: Laura 03/22/2024
We needed these extended mirrors on our van when pulling our camper. They fit perfect on our 2014 E250. Husband was very happy with the added rear vision they provide. The mirrors stayed put and adjusted even on the interstate. Great purchase!

2019 Subaru Ascent
While it is not perfect, these mirrors work reasonably. With our Subaru, special care is required to attach the the mirrors. This is due to he closeness of the gap between the movable reflexive part and the housing.
by: Daniel09/16/2023
I believe this is a good product. The best rear/side view I can attain to improve my rear/side view on the extremely undersized stock mirrors on our 2019 Suburban.
However, I have lost three mirrors in travel that have literally fell off the stock mirror frame. I even enhanced the last one with a stop nut to keep the clamping screw from possibly loosening during travel. Thought maybe it was loosening up from road vibrations. Also, the third mirror dropped off just this past weekend while rolling down the road. Needless to say, there is nothing left of the mirror after hitting the pavement. I still have a pair of mirrors that strap onto the stock mirrors that have never fallen off. I will probably use them until I find something better.
If you guys have any suggestions to keep these mirrors mounted, let me know.

I do have a set of towing mirrors that will work for you and they are a snap on mirror part # KS80920 on our site. Instead of using clips like universal mirrors they slide onto the existing mirror which gives it a snug fit. It is rare to loose a slide on mirror and based on your experience I think you would be happier with them.
by: Ron 05/22/2023
Well so far they fit easily onto my existing mirrors and they extend way out which is what I need. Haven’t used them yet on the road but I think they will work well.

Mirrors work good but they won’t stay attached on the passenger side. I lost one it blew off going 60 mph, so ordered a 3rd mirror from you, that one also blew off but I was able to recover it. If you have any tips on getting them to stay on I would really appreciate it.
by: Leonard04/03/2023
The mirrors look great and fit as I expected but I have not driven the truck yet to see how they will handle the rough ride, (Vibration) from the truck. My reason for not giving the Excellent rating. The mirrors gave me an additional 5 inches of visibility on each side of my 1995 Ford F250. GREAT!! I expect this to be just what I was looking for

One was broken when I got them. It will be returned. The other one was securely attached. After 6 hours on the road it fell off into five lanes of traffic at 60 miles per hour. I did not go back to attempt to pick it up. Worthless junk. Do not buy.

I have not actually used the mirrors as it is winter in Billings Montana and none of my camping locations are open, but I did tried the mirrors on my vehicle to make sure they fit.

Fits great; highly adjustable; price is right!

The mirror vibrates alot which makes it unpleasant to use. If it was easier to put on I would just for backing up
But not worth it

Chevrolet Colorado
This mirror was the only one I could find that would work on my 2021 Chevy Colorado pickup. I have been very pleased with the mirrors. I have learned to check the tightness of the screw on clamps, each time I stop. I have lost two of these from road vibration. I now have 3 of them, so I have a spare if another one gets lost or broken.
by: Jim 03/22/2024
Quick shipping. Mirrors fit exactly as in simple assembly instructions. You can actually exceed 10 feet width with these mirrors.
by: Mark h10/06/2019
Mirror extensions. Very easy to put on. Fit like a glove and now I have great vision behind the trailer. Well worth the cost. Placed on Toyota Highlander 2018.

Only fair at best. One came off at freeway speed. The other needed a bungee cord to keep it from going out of position at freeway speed.
by: Robin 03/23/2024
Now I can see behind me asI drive with my camper on back.
by: Kathy09/16/2022
I use these on a Ford Escape when towing my 13' camper. I will admit it took me a few tries to make sure they were tight enough to stay on but I figured it out. I make a point to check the knobs whenever I stop on my travels. After being on the road for a while my eyes adjust to just using the towing mirrors. I don't really notice much, if any, vibration from them. Glad I made the purchase.
by: Tony10/08/2022
Positionally, the mirror performs well. However, the tension brackets provide inadequate clamping strength. The mirror is essentially a sail that wind is pushing against as you drive down the road... constantly challenging the two lone clamps. You can only tighten the clamps so much before tension partially releases and you need to re-tighten. I lost one of these mirrors five minutes into my second 9 mile test drive on the freeway. I ended up employing a bungee/zip tie contraption as a safety net so I don't lose the other mirror. My vehicle is a 2014 Honda Odyssey.

Toyota 4Runner
When I picked up our Yamaha boat with our 4Runner, I could not see to change lanes on the way home. Never knew mirror extensions existed until a quick search online. Decided it was cheaper than a new truck with tow mirrors and I’m glad I bought these. I was hesitant at first, thinking they’d look tacky, but I mounted mine on the bottom of the mirror and they aren’t bad looking. They extend out plenty allowing me to see to back up and change lanes while driving. And they are extremely adjustable. And they can be removed in seconds when not needed. Do your homework before purchasing like I did, that way you’ll know if you over tighten the mounting screws you can potentially break the bracket. Knowing this, I just snug mine down with a reasonable amount of effort, and they stay put. Whoever designed these, thank you for creating a solution to what could have been a very expensive alternative had we purchased another vehicle with tow mirrors.

These mirrors worked great every time I used them, never had an issue. Would definitely recommend them.

to much trouble to keep on. used zip ties and still could not get them to stay on. tightened them down as much as I could.
by: David 06/06/2024
They’ll do the trick for what I need. Seem to be well built and easy install. Would recommend.
by: John08/02/2023
The mirrors are of high quality and worked well on my 2016 Escalade. Until one didn't. Blew off on the highway. My fault, I am sure, but I thought they were plenty tight. In fairness, the Escalade mirrors did not lend themselves well to trailering add-ons. Now have a 2022 Silverado with Snap and Zap mirrors by K-Source that clamp over the factory mirrors. Work great and look great. Got them from you as well. Always impressed by your available inventory and great service!
by: David06/20/2022
works great, no issues with the product. I mounted them on the bottom of the mirror, just worked better that way. The issue I had was the driver side mirror folding in a couple times from trucks going past due to the added surface area.

All still good. No other folding in of the mirrors.

Great but we use a bungee cord to keep them on, safety
by: Manuel07/04/2020
Good mirrors allow you to see the back end of the trailer. Super easy instal and setup. Everything going well on our first ever trip with our new trailer and new mirrors, until return trip. My passenger side mirror was blown away. Contacted CIPA the manufacturer a week ago and never heard anything back from them they are just dismissing my inquiry. That the only reason for the low rating
by: Patrick11/08/2019
These mirrors have been fitted to a 2014 VW Tiguan, pulling a Taxa Cricket trailer. I have had to modify the rubber pads on the mirror clamp by cutting each pad almost in half (see photo) to accommodate the car mirror design (see photo). I will glue the pads to the clamp to keep them from getting lost. The mirrors will do the job for which they were purchased. I have not yet driven at speed, but I do not anticipate any problems. The mirrors are securely attached.
by: Chris12/09/2023
I put these on my 2020 Ford Ranger. Tightened everything as tight as possible but only went about a mile at 40 mph and one flew off in ditch. Design should be set up so wind against it makes it tighter not fly off. Oh well, live and learn.

- What Towing Mirrors Will Fit My 2020 Ram Tradesman The CIPA Custom Towing Mirror - Slip On - Driver Side # CM11401 will not fit your 2020 Dodge Ram Tradesman, but I do have a option for you. The best option I have is the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2. These mirrors are a universal fit and easily clamp on to your existing mirrors.
view full answer... - Is There a Speed Limit on the CIPA Universal Towing MirrorsNo. The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 do not have any type of restrictions in regards to speed and I think you'll find that they're quite stable when mounted correctly on your mirrors; these mirrors will hold up to highway speeds without any issues. I've linked one of our installation videos on a newer model Expedition for you to have a look at as well, so that you can see exactly how they attach to your truck.

Then for an inverter, converter charger, and automatic transfer switch the # 34275013 is a really great option. The CIPA tow mirrors part # CM11980-2 will fit your 2013 Dodge Durango Citadel as well. The prices are also available...

- Best Towing Mirrors for a 2011 Ford ExpeditionI do have options for you but there are not any custom fit towing mirrors for your 2011 Ford Expedition which includes the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550. The only type of towing mirror that is available for your Expedition is a universal one like the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2 or the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2. The K-Source mirrors and CIPA mirrors are both excellent options for you. If you find yourself to be towing frequently then...

So instead you are going to need a universal option, the clamp-on CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 (which are on a 2017 Titan in the accompanying photo) or the clip-on K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990. I have also added a link to a video install of the CIPA mirrors for you on a '17 Nissan Titan along with a road test that shows...

The recommendation I have for you is the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2. These mirrors clamp on to your existing mirrors and pivots 360 degrees. I have attached an installation video on a Ford F-150 for you.

They actually only fit 2015-2019 Ford F-150. The towing mirrors I recommend are the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2. These mirrors easily clamp onto your existing mirrors and are a fit for your 2007 Hummer H3. Another reason I recommend these is that they pivot 360 degrees to give you the view you need at all times.

The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 that fit your '19 Express Van have a mirror face that measures 7-1/2" wide x 4-5/8" tall.

- Towing Mirrors for a 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe Yes, we do have towing mirrors for your 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe. I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 item # CM11980-2. These towing mirrors provide a 7-1/2" wide x 4-5/8" tall mirror that can be rotated 360 degrees for optimal viewing angles. I have attached a picture and video of these mirrors installed on a 2020 Tahoe so you can see how the work and what the finished product looks like.

The CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 may be an option but I cannot quite tell from your photo if your mirrors have the needed lip for these mirrors to clip onto, though it is possible it may just be the angle. Another option is the CIPA Universal Deluxe Door-Mount Mirrors # 11650-2 which simply attach to your door via straps, though...

The 2004 - 2014 Ford F-150 trucks are what they fit. For your 2008 Ford E-150, we have custom extendable towing mirrors and then universal fit options. For the full replacements you can use # KS61199-00F for electric adjustment or # KS61201-02F for manual adjustment.

However the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors - Clamp On - Qty 2 # CM11980-2 works well with almost all vehicles we have tried. My favorite option is the CIPA Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Qty 2 # 11953-2 because they fit on the factory housing and hold tight while allowing more viewing adjustment for best view. That is my recommendation for you. I've attached videos of both...

There currently is no one manufacturing custom fit mirrors which will slide onto the style mirrors you have.
view full answer... - Recommended Towing Mirrors for my 2004 Jeep LibertyThe CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 will be a good fit for your 2004 Jeep Liberty. They are very adjustable so getting the view you want will be easy. The dual clamps on each one will help to attach it to the outer housing on your mirror to get a good hold that will be very solid.

I attached an install video for this mirror for you to check out as well.

If that is the case then I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 or the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2. These mirrors will both do an excellent job of extending your field of view. The CIPA mirrors will be easier to take on and off the vehicle but the downside of this easy on/off install is that they are not as secure as the K-Source mirrors. The added security from the straps are then...

- Tow Mirror Recommendation for 2019 Honda OdysseyThe CIPA # CM11980-2 and # 7070 are both good choices that we've test fit on a 2019 Odyssey with good results (see linked videos). Either choice would work fine for you, but I personally prefer the # KS3891-2 from K-Source due to the ratcheting straps used to hold the towing mirror to the factory mirror housing. The ratcheting straps allow for a tight fit which helps minimize vibration which therefore would provide a clearer view of what's going on behind and next to you while towing. I'll...

For your 2018 Expedition we do not have any custom-fit mirrors but we do have universal fit towing mirrors that you can see on the linked page.

If you have already tried the clip-on then the next option you'll want to try is clamp-on, the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors part # CM11980-2 which work well for most vehicles. That said, this is not really a popular tow vehicle so towing mirror options are limited. There are no custom fit options but I do think these will work well for this vehicle.
