    I bought my set from them. No issues. I have no comparison to other vendors as to these being a knock-off. Mirrors work fine, but you get more vibration compared to the standard toyota ones.

    Just ordered a set of the heated flip out mirrors from 1aauto. I tried some of the clip on ones over the weekend while towing my new pop up and they sucked. They shook so much they were almost useless (yes I had them down as tight as they would go. They just wouldn't stay tight. If these only vibrate as much as the stock ones do I'll be happy.


    Edit:
    These vibrate A LOT more than the stock ones. On the highway they are all over the place (mirror only, not the housing). On rough road they are damn near useless. This sucks because I really like how they look. I may try to take one apart to see if there is any way to stiffen up the mirror.

    Actually wanted to say thank you for your post! I too tried the add on ones and yes they fell off sooner than later, and yes as others have noticed they look really tacky as well :thumbsup:. So, as you'll notice on the truck I now have added those mirrors of yours and they are possibly the smartest thing I've done to the truck since I began towing! So many thanks to you for the original post! From Kent, Wa. :thumbsup:0501171309a.jpg

    Sure. You drill new holes where the replacement mirror fits. Metal and bolts. It "will work".

    Looking for tow mirrors to use on my 2020 Limited. My problem is that I have all the gadgets including a camera installed in my mirrors and I don’t want to loose these options.
    I used the strap on type years ago on my 2000 Tundra and they were okay but not sure if they’ll work well on my new Tacoma?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Love this forum

    Same deal here. 2020 Limited and I’ll be towing a 14x7 cargo trailer and I really want to see down the sides. So far it seems none of the aftermarket companies are making extendable mirrors with the cameras that come in the Ltd trim package. Hopefully they catch up soon. Luck to us both!

    Hey Mistersawdust.
    I purchased the ‘Fit System 3891’ universal clip on mirrors for my truck last week off Amazon, so far I’ve only tried them on my truck and they fit well without blocking the cameras or sensors. We’re heading out for a few days for the first time later this week so they’ll get the road test, I’ll post the results next week but I’m sure they’ll be good. They have great ratings on Amazon and are cheap.
    Nice truck btw :thumbsup:

    Pretty happy with the Dometic mirrors that we picked up at a nearby RV parts and service shop.

    A very small amount but it's the whole assembly, not just the extension.

    Just going through the thread looking for a switch answer and did not see what I was after. The mirrors I purchased have a heater in them, my OEM did not. It has two light gauge wires that plug in to the mirror from the drivers side and the passenger side is pre connected assuming to make it a loop. Question is is I get an after market heated mirror switch do I need a timer or a timed relay and do you have an example of the wiring for that? Cheers

    I have a Gashole
    Those are perfect and I would buy them in a second if they only included the BSM. How difficult is it to do that?? They would sell a ton more since A1 is the only alternative and it is not available in all black, only chrome which is very disappointing
