Just received and installed my trail ridge power heated big tow mirrors from 1A auto on my 06. $185.95 and free shipping. Plug and play. To my surprise they included the mirror brackets which mount on the inside of the door. I had ordered those brackets separately from 1A thinking they weren't included. A quick call to 1A and they were kind enough to credit these back to my card and I don't need to send them back. Great customer service! Thought this might be helpful to anyone like me that has been slow to pull the trigger on purchasing. Mirrors are very sturdy. I will update in a few weeks after using them for a while.
What year and model of Armada do you have? What functions did your original mirrors have, and what about the new tow mirrors? By functions, I mean power adjust, power fold, heat, auto-dim, integrated turn signals, etc.
2006 SE.
Original mirrors have heat and power adjust only. Same for new mirrors. No power fold, auto-dim, turn signals or puddle lights.
Thanks for the welcome. Been lurking a few years.
I assume you can just manually fold them in? Do you know if they have options for power-folding, signal mirrors, and/or puddle lights? (I would look myself, but that site is blocked at my work for some reason.)
Yes they manually fold in. I sourced these for a Titan the same year and options as my Armada. They do have some with other options such as memory. In order to be plug and play you will need them for the same year and options you have.
How have these been? I am nervous of aftermarket due to sometimes the mirrors shaking easily going down the road. How has your experience with these been?
Firefighter,
I wish I had purchased these two years earlier. I have no complaints. They do not shake. I recommend you give them a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I can't speak for 1A auto but I think if you were not satisfied, they would make it right.
I didn’t end up going the tow mirror route. I absolutely love the look of them and want them all the way. However the conveniences that you lose(Power fold, in mirror turnsignal, auto dimming) wasn’t a trade off my wife was willing to make.( Her daily driver). Plus we pull the camper max 3 times a year, so I ended up ordering the strap on mirrors like others have mentions. Part # KS-3891. Got them through www.etrailer.com for $65 shipped for the pair. They come tomorrow. We shall see how it goes.
jklhill, thanks for letting me know how you like the mirrors. I still have not checked into them. Don't ask me why. So, when you want to extend/retract, do you manually do it? Seems like that would be the case if you only have power adjust and heat options (I have the same on my 2011).
Thanks Firefighter. How did your strap on mirrors work? I tried a couple different kinds and experienced too much vibration. If I had all the bells and whistles on mine, I would not want to lose those.
