Yes, and I say power telescoping is overrated. Leave them out all the time, and use the power fold feature when parking in tight areas to keep people from bumping the mirrors.

I think if you’ll find your really don’t want to move them in and out that often; and it’s really not a big deal to me walk around the truck and pull them out - heck you can do it during the vehicle walk around you do every time you hitch up to your trailer.

Save your $$$ and put it into something useful like TPMS for the AS.

Are you asking about the Syppo’s? If so yeah they are that easy. There is a YouTube review that goes over some of the installation. Just snap off the interior plastic housing. Unplug the harness. 4 bolts, 2 obvious, 2 in the door jam and bingo. Just reverse to install. Really that easy.

PS did my research on the F150 forum and this led to my decision to purchase these as aftermarket mirrors.

Thanks, Little54 - the Syppo extra set of towing mirrors for $280 is attractive. Particularly since I will be using the F-150 as a daily driver, this would allow me to run the standard mirrors with BLIS for those trips to visit grandchildren and around town when we are not towing.

Thanks again, everyone, for all of the advice.
