    Forgive me if this has been posted already. I tried the cheap Camco towing mirrors that suction on to the glass. They were pretty small, didn't stick out far enough, and looked like they may cause failure of the mirror motors due to over-loading.

    Then I found these Dometic Milenco Grand Aero3 mirrors. You can tell from the clamp quality, they aren't junk. The part # is 2912 and available on-line. For the Taco, the bottom mount is the only fit and they will contact the OE mirror slightly when installed. Shouldn't cause any concerns tho.

    Those are my favorite too. I have the exact same set for my Tundra.

    With that said, be aware that you need to take them off when not towing and getting on the xway. Once you hit 75+ mph, they will come off...


    With that said, I am looking for a single towing mirror:anonymous:

    I use these mirrors too. They work well and do shake a little.

    I agree. With used with a Tacoma, they would need to be extended extra far to see around the camper. That extra extension would increase the shaking.

    I don't think they shake enough to bother ne., But be aware that will.

    Yeah, I agree. I can live with the shaking. It’s not too bad.

    I just installed the fold out taco mirrors. They look fine folded down and are great for towing when folded out.
