Expert Answers about Chevrolet Towing Mirrors


  • Towing Mirrors for Permanent Mount Compared to Removable Towing Mirrors
  • The Cipa Universal Door Mount Mirror # CM45000 comes in a quantity of one. This mirror is compatible with either side of your vehicle, so you would want to purchase two for a matching set. These are excellent sturdy mirrors that have a solid mount to your vehicle doors. If you are instead looking for mirrors that come as a set and are compatible with most factory mirrors, I recommend the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair # KS3990. This can easily be detached...

  • Comparing Custom Fit VS Universal Fit Towing Mirrors For a 2004 Toyota Tundra
  • The Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # CTM4000 for your 2004 Toyota Tundra Access Cab will have a mirror that is 5-1/2" wide x 4-1/2" tall. With a universal set like the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2 the mirrors are 7-1/2" long x 5" tall. While the larger mirror will give you more to see they are going to end up being less visible at most highway speeds as the larger mirror will tend to get a vibration from the wind hitting the mirror. The custom fit mirror will be more clear...

  • Comparing Slip-On Towing Mirrors for a 2012 Ford F-150 SuperCrew
  • I am not sure who you called but I will be happy to help you with slip-on towing mirrors for your 2012 Ford F-150 Super Crew. For your truck we have the CIPA towing mirrors # CM11800 and Longview mirrors # CTM2300B. The biggest difference between these two sets of mirrors is design and how they install. The CIPA mirrors cover a larger portion of the stock mirror housing that the Longview mirrors. You could say that this gives the CIPA mirrors more stability. These mirrors stay fixed to...

  • Differences Between the Longview Custom Mirrors # CTM1600 and the CIPA Custom Mirrors # 10901
  • The custom towing mirrors available for your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado are the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors-Pair, part # CTM1600 and the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror-Driver Side, part # 10901 and CIPA Custom Towing Mirror-Passenger Side, part # 10902. Both of these brands are very similar. They will both vibrate a little since they are attached to the factory mirrors but it is not enough to cause any problems or impair the vision in the mirror. We have gotten good reviews on both of these...

  • Recommendation Between the CIPA and K-Source Custom Towing Mirrors for a 2020 Ram 1500
  • Between the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CIP98MR and the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80730 for your 2020 Ram 1500, I prefer the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80730. The reason I prefer the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS80730 is because they just snap onto your mirrors with no additional hardware that that could get lost. They also feature cut-outs that allow for features your mirror may have (like turn signals) to still function.

  • Is There a Difference Between K-Source Towing Mirrors for 2016 Toyota Tundra?

These mirrors are a conformed fit for your 2016 Tundra and are power mirrors with heated glass and turn signals on the sides. I've added a link to a video review of the mirrors for you to take a look at.

  • Differences Between Snap-On And Slip-On Tow Mirror Extensions
  • The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors part # KS81850 are snap on side mirror extensions whereas the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550 are slip on. The difference between the snap and slip options are as follows: The snap on mirrors will provide a much more secure fitment around your factory mirror however, the tighter fit could cause more wear to the mounting surface. The slip on mirrors will prove to be a less secure fitment and will reduce the chance of surface scratches....

  • Will the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror Have Better Field of Vision than Custom Mirrors
  • The K-Source Universal Towing Mirror, # KS3891, has a slightly larger mirror than most slip-on style custom towing mirrors, so it will offer a slightly better field of vision. It also gives you the ability to adjust the mirror from a horizontal position to a vertical position for better height or width views. A universal mirror is not quite as aesthetically pleasing as custom mirrors and they are prone to a little more vibration, but they will still get the job done.

  • Comparing the Single Lens and Double Lens K-Source Towing Mirrors
  • Between the K-Source Towing Mirror # KS3891 and the K-Source Mirror # KS3990, the # KS3990 will give you a greater range of line of sight. The # KS3990 dual mirror design will give you a greater expanded view of the road over the single lens mirror of # KS3891. The outer mirror lens will help to lessen the blind spot that occurs when towing a trailer.

  • Durable Towing Mirror For The 2017 Chevrolet Colorado
  • When choosing between the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror # 11650 and the Wheel Masters Eagle Vision Universal Extendable Towing Mirrors # WM6600-2 I'm giving the edge to # WM6600-2 when it comes to build quality. The CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror # 11650 is very stable and offers a pretty wide adjustable range for mirror placement and also includes non-scratch mounting pads to protect your vehicle. But the Eagle Vision Universal Extendable Towing Mirrors # WM6600-2 seem more durable....

  • Comparing CIPA and K-Source Clip-On Towing Mirrors for a 2012 Toyota Tundra
  • 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,...

  • Towing Mirrors For A 2022 Hyundai Palisade
  • For your 2022 Hyundai Palisade, we have the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2, and the CIPA Universal Fit Towing Mirrors # CM11952-2. The difference between the two is that # 7070-2 is 1/2" taller than # CM11952-2, and the straps on # CM11952-2 are one inch shorter than # 7070-2. I recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2. These to me, look the best, and provide the most visibility between the two.

  • Difference Between Snap-On and Slip-On Towing Mirrors for 2019 Ford F-150
  • The difference between the two is actually pretty simple; the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors - Slip On # CM11550 will fit over the mirrors of your 2019 Ford F-150 and attach via a wedge that you tighten with a wing nut on the rear of the mirror. Comparatively, the K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors - Snap On # KS81850 fit over your mirrors and use tabs that clamp around the top and bottom of the mirror. I recommend going with the CIPA because they can be tightened to ensure you aren't...

  • Comparing K-Source KS3891 and Cipa 40375 Universal Fit Towing Mirrors on 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Both mirrors would work on your Grand Cherokee, but I always recommend the K-Source # KS3891 over the Cipa 11960 (which is our part # 40375) because of the way the mirrors attach to the vehicle's factory mirrors. The K-Source mirror uses 2 ratcheting rubber straps for a tight fit that's allows minimal vibration. Combine this with the mirror's light weight, the mirror is not going to move around, it'll stay where you put it. This is why our customers rate this mirror so highly. The Cipa...

  • Purpose Of Second Mirror On Dual-View Clip-On Towing Mirrors
  • I recommend the larger single mirror like the # KS3891. A mirror like the K-Source Universal Towing Mirror, part # KS3891, has a large face single mirror that measures 7-3/4 inches tall x 5-1/8 inches wide. A mirror like part # 11953 has the dual mirrors like you mentioned. The intent of the smaller mirror is to provide a spot mirror that is designed to help you when passing or changing lanes. I feel as you do that a having dual mirrors could prove to be a distraction and I would go...
