I definitely will update the thread when I get my boat out of the shop. It's in a damn hilly part of Austin so I'll know pretty darn quick how she does! Might be a couple months though. Mirrors should fold on the max tow, you might not have the powered option, but they should mannually, and they also manually pull out so they stick out further. At least thats how it is on my 11 XLT max tow. Most mirrors these days are break away(fold away) |

A big reason for the high prices is simple...demand. India and China are sucking it down like crazy.
Well it's settled: Bought a 13 XLT Super Screw with the Max Tow. Looks great. Somehow found everything I wanted. Mirrors are awesome, despite the fact they don't fold, I'm surprised dealers don't stock these. |

Unfortunately they are not power though unless I'm missing something. Maybe only the higher end trim models get the power on the Max Tows. |

It appears you are right! They were just a bit hard to fold being new.

I wish you were right more than wrong but I'm pretty sure mine are manual.
Here's the pics of the new ride: http://www.austinboatforums.com/cgi-...1378571327/0#0 |

Interesting. My truck is a loaded FX4 and mine our power fold and power slide. I was thinking they were all power regardless of package. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ill be honest with you, I thought about getting powered mirrors but it was in a bundled package and wasnt spending more money, for as many time as I need to fold them in and out, it doesnt really matter
