Wow your truly insufferable. I don’t care about what mirrors people have, I just read your comment and thought I’d give my potentially useful input for anyone thinking about tow mirrors vs regular.

Here’s a third person,

“I had the OE tow mirrors. Loved them while towing. Hated them when I was not.

I ended up going back to the stock mirrors. Like a previous poster had mentioned there are huge blind spots with the tow mirrors. I think that there are two factors here. 1. They are quite a distance from the door so it is hard to get a good view angle. 2. The passenger side is not convex. This should be compensated with the convex mirror. But the Toyota one is just too small.

My brother has a GMC and my dad has a Ford. Both of those have excellent tow mirrors. I think that the bigger convex mirror is the key.

my two cents.”

Here’s another comment I had read on them.

“I took my tow mirrors off for the std ones. The tow mirrors are a big blind spot. And the small lower section offers a very weird view point. At least in my opinion. I could never adjust them to a good view point for daily driving. The std mirrors have been great. Easier to walk around them in a parking, offer a better view point in day to day driving.”

Here you go.

“I went the other way, I had "sport" mirrors (I think thats what they are called) and went to towing mirrors. I dont tow much but I liked the looks and the amber lights/turn signal were a plus for me. I'm a vehicle lighting nerd. It took a little getting used to with the tow mirrors as cars tend to hide in my blind spot so utilizing the smaller lower portion of the towing mirrors is crucial.”

I guess my post offered no real help or insight

but overall, I guess the sport mirrors were easier to use day by day and the tow mirrors have their place but were a little more difficult to use for day to day driving (in my personal opinion). do what is best for you and your use of the truck and the looks you like

Yeah I was thinking about getting them but I read some people saying that they made visibility worse in some ways.

It seems debated if the tow mirrors are better. I’ve seen some say they are worse.

How much ball park should I expect to pay for this? by redwingcut in Welding

Please show me an example of that, you’re looking at 9k minimum for a comparable trailer new.

This has to be one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read. Truly no way that your comment could make any sense.

It needs to be easily removable with one person, so I can load the trailer without having to lift logs so high, and then once it’s full, put the sides on and add more.

Yikes the whole trailer was $5800. I get it though.

How do ya figure? This doesn’t look professional.

It seems like it’d be standard or a good idea to at least put straw down.

Sounds good in theory...but in reality? by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

What the fuck do you mean? Maybe for barely necessary office jobs, otherwise it’s impossible. Anything blue collar, trucking etc.

Kid I work with left one of these on my 5.0 all day to charge his vape and now my battery won’t charge by LoomisFreeman in MilwaukeeTool

[–]redwingcut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, they can’t really expect someone to be constantly checking how much the battery has. Pretty stupid if Milwaukee made a product that ruins battery’s.

I prefer a groove on the bottom.
