    can't give you a definitive answer, as I have never tried it, but the mounting holes and points will be different, for sure

    Depending on which Ram you're talking about, imo, pretty silly looking. But I like the look of the mirrors that come on the Tacos. A Ram is a full sized truck, and would look pretty out of place on our little Tacomas.

    Get some mirror extenders if you are towing something...

    I know, I know, but I needed a half ton.
    Someone makes ram style mirrors for the Tacoma’s. Good if you tow a lot.

    As long as they work for what you want go for it.

    Mirrors can`t be to big

    Ridiculous. They look ridiculous on the Ram trucks themselves! Lol

    Mine work really well for my truck in my opinion. Got them from a 98-01 dodge off eBay. I will never go back to the stock mirrors because my field of view is exceptional with these.

    They mounted really easily too. I didn’t have to relocate any of the existing factory holes. Made them a little larger to fit the new bolt and slid right in with no problem at all.

    You're kidding, the RAM mirrors mounted directly to the existing factory holes? Wow.

    That doesn't look as bad as I expected, but it'd look super-weird if the truck wasn't lifted and substantially customized, IMO.

    I guess when I saw "Ram Mirrors", this is what I was picturing. Which would also look, um... interesting on a Tacoma.

    I would 10/10 rip those off the first time I went offroad. I already kiss my mirrors on trees and rocks on narrow trails with the little factory mirrors

    Yeah i had to do very minimal for them to fit. I made the existing holes slightly larger and they slid right in.

    Mine are manual. I opted out of the power mirrors only because i didnt want to deal with the routing the wires and then finding a spot to place the mirror controls.
