Universal Towing Mirror Options for 2016 Ford Expedition

Question

Question:

Hello, I am looking for towing mirrors for my 2016 ford Expedition and have two questions: 1. I see in one of your forums one of your experts recommend the k source ks3990 for my car, but when i go to that product page it says THIS ITEM IS NOT A FIT FOR 2016 Ford Expedition 2. In your opinion, why would no manufacturer produce mirrors for this car, there is clearly a demand for them?

Manufacturers will make custom-fit towing mirrors for very high sales volume tow vehicles, such as a Ford F-150 or Chevy Silverado pickups, but for other vehicles like SUVs (even popular ones like the Expedition) the sales volume potential is just not the same so use of universal-fit mirrors like the K-Source # KS3990 is the solution. These mirrors are not vehicle-specific; that is why you saw the message. But they will work on almost any mirror that has a gap between the glass and the mirror housing (for the clips to install) as shown in the linked photo.

If you'd like a very large towing mirror you might consider a door-mount set such as CIPA # 11650-2 or Wheelmasters # WM6600-2.

The K-Source tow mirrors #KS3990 would work great on your 2023 Ford Expedition. We had a chance to install them on a similar 2018 Ford Expedition and found they installed easily, worked great, and the highest reviewed option we know fits.

Hey Cory! Yes, the Global Link RV Baggage Door Slam Latch #295-000015 will fit with a 1-1/4" thick door. If you don't have a mounting plate then you'll also need the part #295-000016 to complete the installation.

Hello Dan, I can definitely help with this. It is completely normal for the Curt TriFlex brake Controller #C24VV to show the current gain setting when the brakes are applied, or when the manual override is pressed. It sounds like you have the gain…

No, the smaller Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire w/ 15" Black Mod Wheel item #AM3S664DX would not be a viable option as a spare tire. It's almost 1-1/2" smaller then the Taskmaster ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Tire w/…
