$1400 to add tow mirrors?!?!

My dad recently bought a 2015i 2500HD gasser. It's an LTZ, and it has the standard sized mirrors with signals and power fold. He didn't think he needed the big tow mirrors at the time, but now he has a bigger camper and needs them. The local dealer (who usually treats him really well) quoted him nearly $1400 to have the new tow mirrors installed on his truck. That seems ridiculous. What do you guys think???

I'm paying around 1200 cnd for the mirrors and new door harnesses for my 2015 Denali hd.

$1400 actually sounds like a great price from the dealer. To buy them new they cost about $1200 and that doesn't include the wiring harness and other items you may need.

I just bought the new style camper / tow mirrors from my dealer. (Black, non powerfold, with turns, amber running lights, and led reverse) Paid just under $700 for the set and harnesses through a buddy's employee discount.

 

That said, the $1400 for new powerfold installed sounds about right.

You or your father comfortable with tearing into the doors? I did mine myself and it was a pretty straight forward deal.

 

EDIT: Actually having now read the fact it is an LTZ...$1400 is a steal...

If its for the power fold tow mirrors (and they aren't quoting the kit mirrors as those aren't power fold) its a big steal. The power fold tows are $695 each, $250 for door harnesses and the accessory labor books at 4.7 hours for install. That's $1640 just in parts for the power fold tows.

Thanks for the replies fellers! I'm pretty sure that quote was for the power fold ones, but I'm not 100% positive. I'm going to email this thread to my dad so he can check it out. My dad has bought probably 10 trucks from that dealership over the years, and they've always treated him really well. It sounds like they're cutting him a deal on these mirrors too....even though it's more than he was wanting to spend. Thanks again!

Does anyone know if a set of tow mirrors off of a 2015 2500 Chevrolet will go on a 2015 Gmc Denali 2500?

Posted

I just purchased a set of power folding chrome tow mirrors from a 2015 LTZ Silverado and they transferred right over, harnesses and all, to my 2015 GMC Sierra SLT.

 

To make it work you need the truck that originally came with tow mirrors door harnesses.

Thanks because my Denali came with standard small mirrors and I found some off of a Chevrolet for a good price so indont want to buy them and they not fit

They'll work you just need to grab the correct door harness. Find the tow mirror thread and it'll have all the part numbers you need.

    • A little girl said her prayers every night before bed and she asked G d to watch after each person she loved. One night she forgot to pray for her babysitter and her babysitter died. A few days later she forgot to pray for someone else and they died. The next night she forgot to pray for her dad. The next morning her dad was terrified. A bus almost crashed into him. He almost fell off a fifty foot ladder and almost wrecked on the way home. When he arrived home, he said I had a terrible day. His wife replied, “You think you had a bad day? My aerobics teacher died during class.
    • Nice! I had one here, once. The car dealer I used to haul for stopped by with it. That was over 10 years ago now. Those are SUPER rare these days, especially up here! Never even see them at car shows anymore.   https://postimg.cc/0rvcNZ1W
    • I remember watching one of the auctions on TV. It just happened that they had two little red express trucks. My brother bought one new in 1979, still has it. So I hung on to watch them cross. The retro redone example brought more bids and went for more money than the original one did. My brother has redone his 3 times and raced it. He’s now in the process of making more tame for cruising. 
    • I always upgraded the suspension and steering components - bushings and ball joints, and had older cars that I could out-corner ANY modern car with. I used to be able to take my '78 Cutlass on off-ramps at stupid speeds and make the sharp MA corners without even squealing the tires. So much fun. My '72 El Camino must've had work done by the previous owner, since that thing seemed to handle even better than the '78.   I think the suspension & steering on the '72 was much more advanced than the '64, so that probably just made a good system even better.   I'm the same way with vehicles. I hate having to worry about the paint on my '93 W250 Cummins. I'm not used to that, lol.   https://postimg.cc/mzKr55sY
    • BEAUTIFUL!! That a Cutlass F85? Or 442? My side-ID skills are lacking thanks to failing memory, lol. Love that color & year, too!   Yeah I was never big on entering my own stuff, but I always liked seeing what everyone had, the rare models, and what's been modified. That was always fun. These days I have barely enough time to do what needs to be done at home.    Oddly enough, here in MA there are more car shows than ever in history! You'd think up here it would be dead, but it's bigger than EVER!          Took the 940 for its maiden voyage with the carburetor. At first I couldn't get out of the yard! This originally had the "Bosch" system (our other 940 has Regina - single fuel pump in fuel tank, and space-age-looking ignition coil on driver's fender) - that has dual fuel pumps. One in the tank, and one under the center left of the vehicle. I had unplugged the external one thinking I wouldn't need it with the carburetor ... but the way I have the pressure regulator hooked up, 90% of the fuel volume is going back to the fuel tank, so cranked all the way down, the regulator is only supplying a hair above 3.5 PSI to the carb. Turns out the in-tank pump (15 PSI alone, instead of 45) couldn't handle the load. Plugged it back in and went for a rip. Ran great!   Throttle response is always amazing with carburetors. ZERO delay that no FI system can reproduce. Also fires up in half the crank rotations as before. Low end power was DRAMATICALLY improved. There was an ongoing lean issue with the FI that I got tired of figuring out, so this is a MASSIVE improvement! Above 50 MPH on hills it feels SUPER weak, though. This is more than likely due to the timing not being advanced enough by the computer, since it believes there are multiple failures. I can live with that through the winter. Will keep me from passing slowpokes where I shouldn't and getting speeding tickets at least. 😁
