When I have my mirrors up I fell like I’m going to wack something in the oncoming lanes….

Lucky you…. This is from a guy traveling the opposite direction in my lane i would have hit the guard rail if i went right any more….Just last week I had somebody smack my driver's mirror with their's when they were in the left turn lane while I was at a stoplight- and I had my mirrors in non-tow mode. If they would have been in tow mode they would have caught enough of it to rip it off. Goog news is that it didn't even leave a mark.
No bueno, did he stop?Lucky you…. This is from a guy traveling the opposite direction in my lane i would have hit the guard rail if i went right any more….
So what happened? Did it just fold it back when they hit it?Just last week I had somebody smack my driver's mirror with their's when they were in the left turn lane while I was at a stoplight- and I had my mirrors in non-tow mode.

Nope i pulled a U turn and forced him over and the cops gave him a nice hit and run ticketNo bueno, did he stop?
Yes!!! That is what it is. It does look like it is right next to you, but then the BSM isn't going off and if you look in the rearview, the car is way back there. The convex is definitely necessary. It does make me a little worried about getting a topper since that rearview is useful to see that passenger side. Hopefully it won't cut down on the view too much but I guess I will just get used to the mirrors like everyone else.I agree, the 2500 mirrors are challenging. During the first few days of ownership, it was really messing me up when merging to the right lane on the highway. I'd look into the passenger mirror and a car would suddenly appear right next to me. I'd turn to look and the car would be way behind me. I realized that the large mirror on the passenger side really magnifies what your looking at. I don't notice this magnification in the other mirrors.
The convex mirrors help when the mirrors are tilted up in trailering mode, as the convex mirror turns to landscape instead of portrait.
I took a couple of pictures to show the magnification, the first is a picture of a car in the mirror and it looks close. The second picture shows how far away the car actually was.
Yep. That is a great depiction of our mirrors.I agree, the 2500 mirrors are challenging.
