Review on πŸ” CIPA USA 11980 Universal Towing Mirror Kit, black - Enhanced SEO by Brandon Boones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Maybe the mirror doesn't fit.

Works great on my '07 Dodge Dakota. Many customizations are available. I can see how they can press some mirrors badly. If your mirror is thick and there seems to be a lot of air in the shell then I don't know if this will work well. My truck's mirror housing seems solid, a thickness. In some cases I think it will be difficult to keep the original mirror in the position you use it for daily driving. The mirror surface is slightly convex and not very sharp, just a little fuzzy, but you can certainly see well enough to tell if the car is alongside or behind you. Even with a backup you can tell where the objects are, but I don't think I was able to read the license plate inside. Because the console is outside and (in most cases) attached to the plastic, it vibrates. Again, I could easily distinguish between objects. I first used them on a short trip, about 70 miles. The second drive was approximately 165 miles long and included a freeway, a dual carriageway, and even a gravel road. Sometime early in ride 2, a gust of wind from an oncoming trailer moved the driver's side, but I was able to reach the window and push it back. I think it's not easy to make them fully versatile and keep the price down. Descent. They arrived as expected and worked as expected. As someone who still occasionally drives a semi-trailer for work as well as a 48ft gooseneck all the way down to my RV and other personal trailers, I think my expectations are different than those who just bought their first camper and always have still do not understand what towing or towing is. . I think their main downside is that they are now fit for any application thanks to the clamping force required to hold them securely. Not sure if it's Cipa USA's fault or Ford, Chevy etc that made it difficult to put the mirror on the tow mirror.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Fits
