  • What Towing Mirrors Are Confirmed For My 2013 Ford Explorer
  • When it comes to the proper towing mirrors for your 2013 Ford Explorer I recommend The K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Convex Mirror - Qty 2 # KS3891-2. These extra-large universal towing mirrors clip over your existing side mirrors to give you an extended rear view. They have a snug fit that reduces mirror vibration. The mirror dimensions per mirror are 7-3/4 inch tall by 5-1/8 inch wide. I have attached an installation video link below.

The above two kits both will install in the same way. The two 4-ways plug into one...
