Do Towing Mirrors CTM4000 Angle out Far Enough to Be Effective on a 2005 Toyota Tundra
Question:
I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra pulling a Jayco 28BHS. I read a review that the passenger side mirror doesnt angle out far enough to be effective. Any truth to this? Id appreciate any help as Im having one heck of a time finding reasonably priced tow mirrors that work well.

Expert Reply:
The angle of the passenger side mirror, once installed, would basically be the same angle as your OEM mirror, as they will be side by side.
The towing mirrors will give you about 4 additional inches of viewing surface, but it would really depend on your application whether or not you would be able to see all the way back to the end of the trailer. You might have a friend hold a small mirror beside your OEM mirrors while you sit in the cab to get an idea of what kind of viewing angle the towing mirrors will give you.
I recommend taking a look at the installed image on the product page to get a better idea of how the mirrors will sit in comparison to your OEM mirrors.
