Do Mirrors Help to See Behind Towed Trailer?

Question:

We were not happy with the CM 11550 Mirrors which we have returned and didnt want to go to the strap on KS 81850 mirrors. I think your LVT-2300-C mirrors would serve us better. I have a couple of questions. what is the small mirror shown sometimes on the original mirror in the upper left corner of the mirror and what features would I lose with the LVT-2300-C mirrors? Thank you for your reply.

The CIPA Custom Towing Mirrors # CM11550 are speciically designed to help you see behind your trailer. While they do not necessarily expose anything, they do give you a 4" extended mirror face which allows you to to expand your line of sight further.

I've added a link to a video review of these mirrors on a F-150 for you to check out.

The small mirror you see is not part of the Longview Custom Towing Mirrors # LVT-2300-C, that is part of the factory mirror from the test fit we did. You would not lose any features when you install Towing Mirrors # LVT-2300-C, your factory mirrors will have the same functionality with the towing mirrors attached.
