Mirror Extension/Camera Options For Help Backing A Trailer Into a Garage With 2020 Ford F-250

Question

Question:

Hello Trailer I would like a mirror to attach to my factory 2020 F-250 telescoping mirrors. Not to drive on the road but only to attach when backing into my garage which is difficult to say the least. I was looking at the Cipa mirror that attaches with a metal rod. Can you verify that it will attach to my mirror? It is CIPA, CM11980-2 Thank you.

While we have not tested the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # CM11980-2 on telescoping mirrors like you have on your 2020 Ford F-250, I do not see any reason they will not clamp to your mirrors as you do have the same style lip around the mirror.

I find the Furrion Vision S Wireless RV Observation Camera System w/ Side Marker Light Cameras # FCE48TASL-05 is very helpful in situations like you have. The side cameras that come with this kit allow you to see the position of the trailer and tires on the far side of the camper. We also have the Side Cameras # FCE48TASL in the event you already have the 5" Furrion Vision S camera system on your camper.

Most standard pin boxes will not make a 90 degree turn in anything less than an 8 foot truck bed, but that is due to being too close to the cab - not the rails. You mentioned you wanted to replace the Rota-Flex with the Gen-Y hitch. Your old pin box…
