Towing a Travel Trailer with Regular Mirrors?

I tried several sets of extension mirrors & they seemed to vibrate an awful lot. Then I tried these. Perfect. If I offset myself in my lane, I can actually see cars that are behind my trailer (25ft}. Not saying there aren't better ones, but these work great & more importantly, they do what they were designed to do.

The add ons don't looks as wide as trailers in the 'towing position', but look to be about like tow mirrors when pushed in to 'standard' position.

I have a set of the Longview slide on mirrors. They are just OK. Yes, better than just the standard mirrors, but not great. I had the actual trailer mirrors on a 1999 ford superduty and i put them on a 97 dodge ram i had. Both were great. The superduty had the best ones.

 

If you tow a lot I'd also recommend the actual trailer mirrors, but they are pricey if you go oem.

 

If you don't have heated mirrors, i believe there is an aftermarket option out there for our trucks. I think there's a you tube video on it.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
