Aftermarket Towing Mirror Reviews

6.2Creedmoor · February 18, 2021

It seems with so many sellers of aftermarket towing mirrors I was hoping to get a thread going of member reviews. There are so many options and sellers at all ends of the price point (Trail Ridge at IAAuto, American Trucks, Boost Auto, etc. and then on the other end of the spectrum you have the Amazon and Ebay sellers). Yet, we know the aftermarket mirrors are not being manufactured in US for a specific retailer and are being sourced overseas and/or sold via private label (Trail Ridge). I suspect the fully optioned power folding mirrors being sold at the higher end of the price point could be sourced for much less if a side by side product comparison could be done to determine which of the lower priced mirrors being sold on Amazon and Ebay are getting sourced and sold at the higher prices. I am hoping that some members can share their reviews to help since a side by side comparison would be difficult and fairly costly.

Great idea. I'm all ears . I'm thinking about the boost auto. But the Trail Ridge are nice too( Phil Gamboa recommended)
Lets see what you got and why you like them .

I purchased mostplus brand off eBay for $250. Everything works great and these were for the power folding as well. The glass does shake a bit going down the highway but nothing terrible. I couldn’t bring myself to spend 600-800 for mirrors

I bought brand new factory mirrors, new switch and wiring harness from Phil Gamboa. The most expensive option but I wanted everything to work together with zero issues.

This probably only had the three screw posts versus four? If so, do you think the vibration could be shored up with drilling the fourth screw post?

As in factory and not the GM Genuine (Chevrolet Accessories) trailering mirrors (non-power folding)?

These did come with 4 posts and I did drill for that fourth post
