While the mirrors are not my favorite part on the Ram, they are far and away better than the offering on the new Fords. I will take function over form every day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

if you guys could shoot me your email addresses, that would be great! I need to know where to forward my payment invoices.

In what position are they better than the Fords? I always figured everyone leaves them up or out because in that mode they are at least similar to the Fords.

I will likely keep them up all the time so I don't have to re-adjust the wide-angle mirror each time I switch them for towing. I tow 6-8 different trailers regularly, and have a DD sedan, so the truck is going to stay ready to tow. BTW, the high end Ram mirrors have an option to auto-tilt down when you go in reverse; but not sure how I'll leave it setup. They also now power fold.

The up-to-2016 Ford mirrors were great. But the 2017+ mirrors are noticeably smaller. The high end trucks with the cameras and blind spot detection make up for that. But not all of the Fords benefit from such.

I have zero complaints on the GM (bigger) mirrors. They are fantastic.

I've never towed with dodge to say anything about the visibility with them up or down but I hate passing one on a narrow road when they have them up and sticking out 6 ft. I have a 16 350 and have never seen a need to extend the mirrors for the boat. Now Brian get that new ride set up and post some pics.
