Congratulations on the upgrade. I never realized that some of these trucks come with non-towing mirrors.
They are great once you get used to them. I mostly drive with mine down because I'm in city traffic and it makes the truck narrower...
I agree they feel way too wide for country roads and daily use. I’m sure I’ll drag them on everything when towing but that’s pretty normal for my stuff to be pine-striped
I didn’t prefer them and when I found the almost perfect truck it didn’t have them so I was happy. I liked the small mirrors for years
I never pulled anything but flatbed trailers and never had an issue seeing. But, the day I picked up my 8.5” wide enclosed I couldn’t see anything so I knew it was tkme.
Initially i found them distracting and didn’t like them but I knew i needed to get used to them. Drove around a little bit. I have messed around with them and I actually understand why people leave them flipped up all the time but I just can’t bring myself to drive around town like that unloaded. But, it’s like they were designed to be up, not down.
Fwiw: on my boost auto mirrors the large mirrors are power and the smalls are manual, both have defrost. Also, the adjustment works correctly regardless of the spatial orientation of the mirrors.
I
think I have the small mirrors adjusted where I can see pretty good whether they’re flipped up or down and I’ll just need to adjust the larger power mirrors when I flip them. But, I only have 50 miles or less on the truck since install so I may decide I need to adjust them
