    hey guys i need a little help. There was a little frost on my truck this morning on the way to work. I turned on the defroster and after a while i realized that the passenger side mirror was defrosted but the driver side one was still frozen. Any help on what the problem might be and how to fix it? :confused:

    Unless you added heated mirrors they are not a factory feature.

    I've hadn't heard that the mirrors are an option in 09's. How do you turn them on?

    Heated mirrors on second gens are not a factory option. I could see dealer installed, but it's definitely not factory or port.

    I have an 09 and I even asked the dealer about that before I bought my truck and he told me it isn't an option. There's a guy on here that rigged up some 4runner mirrors, I'm not sure if they're heated, I know the have the lights in them that shine down on the ground, but can't remember if they are heated. He paid an arm and a leg for too.

    :confused: I never heard of this package. Definitely not from factory, but could be a dealer's customization though. Have you talked to them yet?

    All you guys are right!!!! i found my old window sticker and i see nothing on there about a cold weather package. Looks like the salesman either lied to me or didn't know what he was talking about. :mad:
