  • K-Source Extendable Replacement Towing Mirrors

These options attach to the factory mirror housing to give you a manually adjustable mirror...

  • Do the K-Source Custom Fit Replacement Towing Mirrors Vibrate More than Factory Mirrors
  • Because the K-Source replacement towing mirrors # KS62075-76G mount to the same location as the factory mirrors, vibration should not be any greater than with the factory mirrors. Vibration can be an issue with universal mirrors and clip-on towing mirrors in part because you have one part mounted to another which adds a point of possible movement. Since these mirrors mount in place of the OEM mirrors you will not have that extra link in the chain.

If the truck was not wired to supply a heated function to the mirror, then the heated...
