I’ve been considering adding some tow mirrors to my 2023 Ford F-150, but I’m a bit overwhelmed with the options available.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
- Compatibility: I want to ensure any mirrors I buy will fit my truck without too much hassle.
- Functionality: I’m interested in features like power adjustment and integrated turn signals.
- Installation: Any tips on whether these are easy to install myself or if I’d need to visit a professional?
Questions:
- What brands do you all recommend for tow mirrors that won’t break the bank but still offer quality?
- Has anyone had issues with vibration or visibility while using aftermarket tow mirrors?
- What’s the best place to find these mirrors—online or local auto parts stores?
I really appreciate any experiences or advice you can share about tow mirrors for the 2023 F-150. Thanks in advance!

I’ve installed the CIPA mirrors on my XLT, and they’ve been great! They are compatible across various trims, including Lariat.

Does the installation process differ if you have the power folding mirrors? I’m considering the same CIPA option mentioned.
Good question! I think it depends on the specific model. Some users say the CIPA mirrors fit fine, but check reviews for your exact setup!

I’ve also looked into the Towing Mirror by BAK. It fits all F150 trims, and the wider angle is a game-changer for towing.
I’ve heard good things about those too! How was the installation for you?
I had a rough time with installation on the BAK mirrors. Ended up hiring a professional. Worth it though, they are super functional!
Ouch! I hope I don’t have to go that route. I am a DIY type.
Has anyone tried the OEM tow mirrors for the 2023 F150? I wonder if they’re worth the extra cost compared to aftermarket options.
I looked into those but found them to be quite pricey for what they offer. Aftermarket seems just as effective for me.
To be honest, the OEM ones are very nice but not necessary. Just went with some from a local shop and they’ve worked fine!

Thanks for all the suggestions! Sometimes I feel like choosing mirrors is as tough as selecting a spouse. Any last-minute tips?
Just make sure to check compatibility with your trim level. And remember, happy towing means happy trails!

Check out the Torklift Central tow mirrors! They fit perfectly and are super easy to install. I did it in just under an hour.
I’m curious about the installation process. How difficult is it really?

The installation is straightforward if you follow a good guide. I found a video that walks through each step nicely. If you want, I can link it!
Yes, please! I’d love to see that video. I’m a bit nervous about making mistakes while installing them.
