    Ford OEM f250 towing mirrors?

    Where can I get a replacement drivers side tow mirror.
    Some jack-*** decides to take mine out driving down the road. Cracked mine and destroyed his little f150 mirror and scratched the very tip of his door pretty good.
    We both decided to move on and not tell insurance as it goes down as a wreck on both of driving records and insurance won't cover telescopic mirrors.
    So for an 2001 F250 where can I get them? Power doesn't matter as I won't go through the trouble of hooking the power up.

      I have a pair of these type mirrors, they fit the 1999-2006 F250/F350's...I replaced mine with what style you are probably looking for that extend out for towing. I got those at www.1aauto.com you can get the towing mirrors for less than $100 each or like $80ish each new...otherwise maybe junk yards or Craigslist. Just fyi the towing mirrors or the ones like I have "paddle mirrors" mount exactly the same.

        JCWhitney had to get a new passenger side since my son decided to swat a tree with it. Cool vue or something like that. Under $100 (I think under $80) electric and Ford dealer wanted over $200.
        Looks just like factory mirror and easy to replace. You can do it yourself in under an hour easy and no special tools required.
        PM me if you want and I will walk you through it. No mechanic here, just like to save all the $$$ I can to spend it on something I like

          Oh and from someone who just replaced their mirror it's gravy...and if yours is power you might as well buy power because you have to unplug it anyways. That website I sent you has videos on youtube that show how to swap them out step by step. It's just two sockets to get them all the way off and a flat head.

            Sweet will check both out. I have the power towing mirrors and sadly I had them extended all the way out because I do haul a 5th wheel every week full of cattle so I've learned how to drive with them.
            Just tonight either I messed up or the other driver did.
            Either way I feel better cause he is driving a 2012 f150 and his mirror is about twice if not three times as much as mine. Plus the nice scratch mine put on his door

                    If he was coming from the opposite way I'll bet that scared the crap out of you

                      I bought the newer style tow mirror for my 2000 model f-250 and really like the look and function of the mirror. Found them online for around 250 a pair with the power option with wiring pigtail. Install was about 20 minutes per side...

                        Those are pretty nice looking!!
                        I'd buy them if I didn't have the fear of it getting whacked off again

                          Scared me a little bit.
                          The other guy was shook up quite a bit. I kinda saw it coming as he was coming my way I could tell he was a little too close at the last second.
                          I don't think he saw it coming at all i guess he didn't even notice the clearance lights on them. But he has more damage than I do. I kinda felt bad cause he has a 2012.
                          I have my daily driver 01 working truck.
                          But neither of us want a mirror swiping to end up on a driving record as a wreck

                            Thats a heck of a deal on those mirrors! Last time I checked ebay, the cheapest I could find em was like $120 per side.
