Yeah, that makes sense and I totally understand. I don't tow enough for it to be a huge issue. If I towed with this truck regularly I would probably swap to the tow mirrors myself. It honestly doesn't look awful, I just don't like using them as much as the regular ones. It is a great-looking truck, but I do think it's kinda silly that they didn't put the six-speed in it. Pairing it with the 6.0 at launch would have been a perfect way to introduce the 6L80E into the half-ton; the trans was already on the market and the 90E was already in the 3/4+, so I don't understand why they didn't at least equip it in the VortecMax.

You can get them on eBay and they run around 300 for the heated, power, and turn signal. That's where I got mine at.

are you running oem or aftermarket? I found power and heated for $150 aftermarket. I don't care if they have a signal lol.

EBay maautoparts I believe. They were $300. I bought GM mirrors for my Dmax and they shook just like the cheap ones so I went with the cheap ones this time.

Yeah, pretty much half. Not sure why but I've read the ones with the signal are a little better quality and I wanted the signals so I paid the extra.

I think he said he'll leave it for now due to the holes in the bumper
