Ford Expedition 2014 Towing Mirrors

Howdy all.

After many decisions between different tow vehicles, I ended up getting a great deal on a lightly used 2014 Ford Expedition EL which will be towing my 25 FT Flying Cloud.

The issue I have is that it came with regular non-towing mirrors. I have to park is some seriously tight spots (including my own driveway) and really need better tow mirrors, more like the ones on an F150s I've rented. However, it doesn't look like Ford made optional towing mirrors for the Expeditions in 2014. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm trying to avoid the clip on guys since they seem like a pain. And I've found a few replacement mirrors but can't really gauge the quality (for example, this one 2014 Ford Expedition Power Heated Puddle Light Memory Turn Signal Telescoping Towing Mirror Pair at 1A Auto.com).

Any advice here?

I use the Milenco clip ons. No issues over 15 months and 5k miles. I like that I can take them off when not needed..
