All,

I'm quite happy with the coverage of the stock mirrors for driving. However, when adjusted ideally for driving, they're not very helpful for backing. And as I back often (parking spaces), I don't want to fuss with adjusting the mirrors each time I need to back.

Can anyone recommend aux mirrors, stick-on perhaps, that would help with this?
I believe I'd prefer something flat (not convex) unlike the common blindspot mirrors.

Thx,
Jon

A flat stick-on would still show you the same as the glass underneath. That's why stick-ons are convex.

A strap-on mirror is anything but secure at highway speeds. I never found a good one for our mirrors so I went with tow mirrors.

I'll never go back. The amount you can see will always be worth whatever gripe people have about them

You're right. I didn't state it well.

If I went with a stick-on, I'd want to place a wedge under it to angle it inward more than the stock mirror to give me a view down the side of the truck rearward toward any lines, curbs, etc.

They make stick-ons with a minor swivel base now. Go look local auto parts.

Not really backing up?

I just use the convex for backing up next to curbs and blind spots. This is really in response to R00 for towing I have used these for 11 RV trips or so. They are very secure, don't vibrate and provide a great clear view of the lanes next to the RV. They have over 500 reviews with a 4.3 rating.

Where'd you get these from? I hate my mirrors and love the look of tow mirrors

I have my mirrors adjusted for driving and backing up. I never have to move mine. I always back in to parking spots. Try playing around with the mirrors a little bit more.

Yes, 1A Auto. If you need parts (broken glass, stripped wiring harness...yes, I did both) pm me for details on the manufacturer. I had to do some major Google-Fu since 1A Auto came up woefully short in providing after sale support.
