I like when you homos have them up too so when i'm passing you there's no doubt that you've been passed by a 6.0l.

I just did this pulled this very stunt this morning while towing my TT to the mountains for the weekend, only my diver side was flipped up and the passenger side was down. I didnt notice until I went to pay for fuel. By that time I had already traveled 180 miles.

Up all the time. I can use my blind spot mirrors more effectively when up. In fact i only use those small miirrors on the corner cuz my subs make the big part vibrate to much. But as far as the one up one down thing I asked a guy towing a big 5th wheel he had passenger down and driver up. Said he could see around his trailer better. But he had the new dodge mirrors. The ones with the large blind spot mirrorand the small big mirror part.

I have yet to see Ford style on a Dodge, but have seen it the other way around. IMO, the Ford style are less functional for towing, they don't go out as far.

i didnt know that. i just like the style. they are always up so you never have to adjust them. you just pop em out when you need to see around the trailer.

I kinda like the style of the Ford towing mirrors too, might have to look into that when I get around to replacing my broken passenger side mirror. I don’t tow much, so the fact that Ford stuff rarely functions well isn't much of a concern.
