Looking to add clip on tow mirrors to my 2021 F150 PB. My truck didn't come with the factory tow tele mirrors. Just the auto fold with 360 camera and BLIS. Has anyone added clip-on tow mirrors? If so, please post pics and make /model info of the mirrors.

I bought the Ford Tow mirrors but they’re so big and I don’t tow as often as I expected.
I’m tempted to put the little ones back on and buy these, then sell the tow mirrors.

Snagged a great deal ($65) online at Wal Mart few months ago. Don't know about power fold option, but works with all the other camera stuff. I like 'em.

I just ordered these K Source snap on mirrors but am still waiting for them to ship (backordered). How do you like the fit on them and have you done any highway driving and if so are they secure or do they shake?

They fit nice and tight are very secure. There is a set screw behind the mirror to tighten up if need be. Didn't notice any vibration at something less than about 60.

X2. Just got back from a 5700 mile tow. Very pleased with performance of these snap on mirrors. Solid as a rock and allowed me to see vehicles directly behind my RV that i couldn’t see before. Highly recommend.

Let me know if you decide to go this route, and if so what options your truck/mirrors have. I have a set of the snap and Zap and would be interested to update to the full tow mirrors. If yours happen to have the same options as my truck, i would be open to a trade plus cash for your mirrors. I have standard mirrors WITH BLIS, but no 360 cams, no puddle lights, no power fold

These look to be one of the best options out there. However, I read somewhere that if you try to fold the mirrors in with the towing mirrors attached, the bottom of the mirror hits the top of the door trim so you really can’t fold the mirrors with these attached. Is that true?

my tow mirrors have everything except power fold/extend.

I honestly had not noticed the mirror fouling before but I had only folded them a couple of times. Sure enough they do hit the window sill. It’s a very slight interference and not enough to keep me from folding them in future but probably enough to limit how often I would fold them.

My truck has the puddle light, zone lightings, turn signal light, camera, and BLIS. I was wondering about the Turn signal and other lights if these interfere with them. Could you take some pics of underneath them and on the side. THANKS!
