get a rear view back up camera..... mount it to the third brake light spot or on the license plate and you'll see everything on your rear..... i think they are ~$100 at walmart now......

yea...if they weren't already on the truck when I got it I wouldn't have put them on. I would have gotten a rear view mirror, because I know if I drive anything with small mirrors I'm screwed.

These are all helpful suggestions.

Taking acid, buying tow mirrors, back-up camera...

My mirror isn't reflective at all, but my dash is ever since I ArmorAll'd it.
Then again, I have my rear slider open most of the time.

is the rear tinted??? might wanna try that. I don't know if there is something you can put on to keep glare down. I know there is a film that you can get put on glasses when you get them that's anti-glare...that would be expensive though.
