Worlds of difference. Since I have been driving the truck for 5 years with the other ones, it is taking a while to reprogram my mind for the new mirrors. I can see from the top of the cab to the bottom of the rear wheels without doing the driver seat dance, just one quick glance.

"its easier if you roll the windows down too" Oops forgot to write that in. It also helps to have a second set of hands to hold on to the mirrors while putting the top nut back on.

I tow a lot as well and decided to go with power extending/heated mirrors from an '05 GMC on my '06 Chev LBZ. The mirrors were a direct bolt on, I paid $300 for the set from a used parts place in east Tenn. My original mirrors were the power folding ones. I took the truck to the dealer and had the BCM reprogrammed to the power extending so that all the features would work, cost $75 and work great. Good luck.
