Towing Mirrors and Camera System for Better Visibility when Towing with a 2016 Ford F-150
Question:
I have a 2016 Ford F-150 with the tow package and trailer mirrors that also pull out. My question is will these mirrors # ks3891-2 fit my truck? I have other mirrors that clip on but the problem is it is still hard to see the side of the trailer. I’m towing a 28 ft airstream and I cannot believe it’s so hard to see the side of the trailer with the extension mirrors and the tow mirrors that pull out. Please advise! Thanks.

The K-Source towing mirrors # KS3891-2 will fit on most mirrors that are 4-1/2" to 11-1/2" tall and that have a lip or gap between the factory housing and the glass. If the mirrors on your 2016 Ford F-150 match that description then you can use them.
You may want to consider a camera system for even greater visibility. We have a 2-camera system that would be great for your application, # SH03D. With it you get 2 cameras and a monitor and you can place the cameras wherever you want! One on each side of the trailer, one at the back and one on the side, wherever you need. Towing mirrors are good but camera systems are better! I have linked a video review of the camera system for you.
