I went out to the warehouse and pulled a CIPA Custom Towing Mirror, Driver Side, # 10901, to measure how far the mirror portion is beyond the factory mirror on a 2010 Chevy Suburban. From the edge of the opening where the end of your factory mirror will be to the end of the glass it is 5 inches. To the center of the glass it is about 2-1/2 to 3 inches. So you will get at least that much more extension when using this towing mirror. The passenger side mirror is # 10902.
