Towing Mirrors for a 2015 Suburban
Anyone know of any towing mirrors that will fit a 2015 Suburban? Not having any success with the usuals. Even those advertised as fitting, the fit alls, etc. - NO JOY! Appreciate any help anyone may be able to provide. Thanks!

If you haven't already, I'd give eTrailer.com a try .....

I recommend the Cipa mirrors like these;

I have a set and they work great. They are easy to install & remove, won't scratch up the mirror housing and they don't vibrate when you're driving.
Right now CW has them for $5 off, but an internet search might find an even cheaper price.

I looked at all types/styles of extending mirror and opted for a set of factory tow mirrors (electric & heated) to replace the factory standard mirrors.
They cost a bit more but have never been more pleased.

When you say a "bit" more, do you mean like hundreds and hundreds of dollars more The towing mirrors I bought from eTrailer were $75 and I made sure I ordered the factory mirrors with our new truck this time around. If one were to add the Ram tow mirrors after the fact, it would cost about a $Grand.

I purchased the factory (electric/heated) tow mirrors for my Ram on Ebay from a dealer in Nevada or Arizona or Texas ~ someplace around there for about $300 w/shipping. And I sold the non tow style (electric/heated) mirrors I removed on ebay for about $180 IIRC.
The cost difference was very reasonable IMO.

I think my local dealer sells the individual tow mirrors (dealer retail) for about $475 and over $100 labor to install, so you definitely got a good deal there
The dealer probably pulled them off a truck who's owner didn't like them and changed them for the stockers.
And again, not everyone has your mechanical eptitude (is that a word ?)

Thanks ~ I thought I did ok too. And swaping out the mirrors was pretty simple, remove 3 or 4 fastners, unplug wires, plug wires back in new mirrors and re=install the fastners (screws).
And this place has 'look alike' aftermarket ones....unfamiliar with the quality but the price is low.

PS: I think the word is aptitude ??

Yup you are correct. A word I haven't used.

I use these. No vibration and clear vision.

They go on and off quickly and once setup very little tweaking is needed. I considered these pricey but after using them well worth the price.
