• Hitch Step - Sensor/Camera Interference ON A 2021 Toyota Tacoma?
• If you have ever put a ball mount in your hitch on your 2021 Toyota Tacoma and there was no interference, then you will be fine to use the BumpStep XL # WT81BS1XL. You will be able to see it in your rear view mirror, but it will not block a large part of your view because it's 24" long x 3-1/2" tall. This will be nothing compared to a bike rack or cargo carrier. If you want to make sure it will not interfere, go with this one # CARR190011B. This folds up so you don't have to remove it every...

• The K-Source Panoramic Rearview Mirror, # KSRM010, is designed for off-road use only. The law requires that rear-view mirrors use flat glass where as this one uses a convex mirror making objects closer than they appear to be so this should not be used when driving on regular roads.

• What Is the Field of View of the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System
• The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System part # HM50002 has a limited field of view as the viewing angle is only 110°. Therefore, it is primarily used for hitch alignment and coupling but it can also be used as just a standard reverse/backup camera. I know it's not as cost effective but if you're looking for a better option with more field of view, I recommend the Rear View Safety Backup Camera System part # RVS-778718N which has a 170° field of view and it uses an...

• Are There Slide-On Towing Mirrors for 2017 Nissan Titan
• There are currently no slide-on or slip-on towing mirrors for a 2017 Nissan Titan, and while I suppose anything's possible, there's no reason to think any will be added for this truck a number of years later. So if you need towing mirrors for yout Titan you'll have to go with clamp-on mirrors, and for that I highly recommend the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2. I really like these mirrors because they allow you to adjust how far out they can extend so you get the view you need....

• Are the CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors for a 2016 Ford F-150 Magnified
• The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors part # CM11550 which are a fit for a 2016 Ford F-150 don't have any magnification. I am not actually aware of any towing mirrors we offer with magnification, they are designed to simply extend your field of view so you can see your trailer better and what's beside it. There are some blind-spot stick-on mirrors which have magnification but that's it to the best of my knowledge. These towing mirrors are the same type of mirror used in the factory side mirror,...

• Why Are Extendable Mirrors Flat
• All of the slip-on mirrors like part # C11800 you referenced have flat mirrors, and are not available with a convex mirror feature.

• Will Toolbox Prevent Viewing Gooseneck Ball with In-Bed Third Brake Light Camera 3460002
• The answer to your question will depend on how tall the toolbox sits over the top of the bed and how far back into the bed the toolbox goes. The easiest thing to do would be to take a length of string, tape it to the underside of the 3rd taillight lens and run the other end to the top of the gooseneck ball, or to a point about 3 inches above the truck bed centered over the center of the rear axle. If the string doesn't hit the toolbox, you'll be able to see the gooseneck ball when hitching...

• Will CIPA Towing Mirrors Allow Me to See Down the Sides of an 8 Foot Wide Trailer
• We have had several customers state that the CIPA Towing Mirrors, # CTM2200A, do allow them to see down the sides of their wide trailers. Another customer stated that he was not able to see as much as he wanted to but could see traffic on either side of the trailer so it was still beneficial. The edge of the mirror is about 5 inches further out than the factory mirror. Because the glass is adjustable you should be able to get a decent view. I have included a link to a video featuring...

• Do K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors For 2007 GMC Sierra Classic Allow Power Folding
• While you can still fold the K-Source Custom Extendable Towing Mirrors - Electric/Heat with LED Signal # KS62075-76G, it would have to be manually as they don't allow power folding. There isn't a towing mirror with the power folding functionality, but the mirrors do have powered mirror adjustment, as well as heat and the LED turn signals.
