It won't be hard to add the mirrors, but it will be expensive. Most of the online dealers that sell the OEM mirrors want about $1200 for the pair.I don’t see an option to add towing mirrors on the Limited. Am I looking at that right?
Also, how hard would it be to add those afterwards?
I’m glad you brought this up because that’s the next area I have on my list to research. I’m thoroughly confused about the tow packages...they all sound the same to me and I haven’t yet dived deep to understand the nuances or gotchas of each one.But you have to factor in the cost of the Trailer Tow Package or Max Trailer Tow Package, which is required to order the mirrors, and seem to add very little in the higher trim trucks. You can search the forum, there have been many discussions about the trailer tow packages as opposed to the trailer technology package, and the the fact that you cannot get the tow mirrors without getting one of the Trailer Tow Packages. Multiple people have voiced their disbelief / displeasure that the tow mirrors are not available with the Tow Technology Package.
If you want to know the actual tow rating for the Limited, look up your wheelbase for a SuperCrew and your engine choice. Since you cannot get the Max Tow on the Limited, none of the numbers with *** will apply, since they are specific to Max Tow equipped trucks. Here's the link to the guide:So if this isn’t available on Limited and requires one of the specialized tow packages (e.g. max tow), then what towing capabilities and packages are actually included in the Limited? I see now way to make the towing mirrors a available as an option.
The problem with that one is it has no extra rows with footnotes for "Limited model only" like they did in previous years. I think the consensus is that the Limited has lower tow and payload due to the "upgraded" 22 inch wheels. So assuming it would take a similar hit in 2021 it could be about 2,000lbs conventional towing... Also I *think* I saw that Limited GVWR was 6750# vs other trim max tows of 7050# but don't know if that is strictly due to wheels?If you want to know the actual tow rating for the Limited, look up your wheelbase for a SuperCrew and your engine choice.
