    Towing a 7 x 14 x 7 cargo trailer. Looking for something on the cheap but effective. Any suggestions or past experience? Also anyone selling an old set?

    There are extensions you can buy to go over your mirror, but I'm not sure how effective they are. You can also just buy a convex mirror that fits your OEM mirrors with a sticky backing. That's what I used until I upgraded to full on towing mirrors. The sticky ones never came off in 4 years and I had no issues with seeing a 12'x6' cargo trailer. When you get into campers, the towing mirrors make things MUCH easier for parking.


    EDIT: Here is a link to the tow mirrors I got (or close to it....mine came with the turn signals built in). It's all plug and play and I swapped them out in 10-15 minutes.
