    How do they compare in size to the oem mirrors? I tow a lot in the summer, but I also wheel and would prefer that they didn't stick out too much.

    And if we did a GB here, can we do better than $400?

    This was going to be my second option but I was able to get Powervisionmirrors.com (power extend/retract) from a 98 chevy for a work/trade.I mounted them the same as the dodge mirrors.

    keep in mind this is the chome option with all the goodies.

    Get a group purchase together and I will authorize the amount on what you all are needing. we just need to know which trim level you all want.

    I put 50 ea on order.

    this means 50 manual with turn, without turn, without heat and with heat, with chrome and without chrome

    Prices start at 209.00 all the way to 399 for the loaded option.

    Tell Rob what you want and we will reserve accordingly

    So, the passenger side mirror will be the SLIGHTLY convexed glass with a HIGHLY convexed blindspot portion right? so that it will be like most every other OEM mirror in North America for the last 30 years are so. Just like the stock passenger side mirror now reads "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" due to this slighltly convex shape, correct?

    IF SO I am in to buy a pair of the electric, chrome, with signals. no heat neccesary but would consider heated if all switches and wiring was included and was as plug and play as possible.

    Can we have itemized pricing of the options? Because I would like to have the heated mirrors, but if the price is outrageous, I can definitely live without.

    Also, do you have the measurements? Both regular and extended. I wanted to compare it to the stock mirrors.

    As much as I would love one of these right now, I don't think I can justify the cost of them. However, if anyone that does plan to buy these want to work out a deal for me to buy their black, powered, stock mirrors ;)

    Too many to list now.
    Color matching possible? I'd be interested, just in the fact that they are heated with signals. I'm not totally sold on how far they stick out though, kinda makes the 2012 look like Shrek....

    It is an 18 foot Skyline Koala bunk house that I debadged. I think the gross weight is about 4700 lbs. Seems like the dry weight was around 3800. Pulls real nice. I have the weight distribution hitch and a friction anti-sway bar. I had a 2005 F-150 with the 5.4 L Triton motor before the Tacoma and as far as straight line pulling can't really feel that much difference. The lighter truck moves around a bit more but is still real comfortable up to about 75-80 mph :)

    Very nice. I recently bought a 22 ft, 3926 lb dry weight. Drove about 95 miles to bring her home (it drove nice) but lately I kept on saying I need a bigger truck (i bought the tacoma new 6 months ago without planning). Hadn't camp yet but very soon.

    Why do you want a bigger truck? My Tacoma gets about the same fuel mileage pulling the camper as the '05 5.4L F-150, and MUCH better mileage around town and on highway trips without the camper. Sure does fit in the garage better and much more manuevarable in parking lots etc.

    At least for my needs and use the Tacoma works out great.
