    hi guys I am a new member and a first time Tacoma owner I just purchased a 2014 TRD Prerunner. Love the truck wish it was 4x4 but it will do. My question for you guys is I saw a Tacoma exactly like mine and he had a set of tow mirrors off a ram 2500 and he said he bought them from a seller off this site has anyone seen these thanks in advance.

    there are group buys every now and then for them but there is none right now. open up your favorite search engine and look for ProEFX Tacoma tow mirrors, you'll find a few places that sell them

    I just picked up my 2016 Tacoma last weekend. I had a 2008 Tacoma and bought "universal" fit tow mirrors but they were terrible. I'd really like to get a pair like the ones I had on my 2012 F150. They were fantastic. They were power mirrors included with the tow package, pulled out (manually) to extend from the standard mirror off-set and had a flat mirror set above a smaller convex mirror. I'd really like to be able to get tow mirrors to replace the OE mirrors on my new Tacoma, or at least a custom fit, slide-on tow mirror that would actually stay on the current mirrors and not vibrate and shift around so badly that they're useless. KSource, CIPA and ProEFX do have the kind of mirror I'm looking for but it seems they don't have them for the Tacoma. I did search for the ProEFX as mentioned but they're not available for 2016. Any suggestions?

    a member that goes by mach1man001 sells ProEFX. Don't know if they have any yet for '16 but he'd know ETA.

    Hit some ice at about 40 and went into a pole insurance is saying it's not totaled. So I don't know what I'm going to do I don't think it will ever ride right.

    Glad to see you're ok man. As far as the tow mirrors, I highly recommend the ProEFX ones from @mach1man001

    Took a quick look at his profile page and looks like someone already asked about 2016 mirrors
    "Sorry we do not have the towing mirrors available for the 2016 Tacoma yet, There are differences between them and the 05-15's"
