I just use the cheapies that I got at Walmart. I think they were $10 each. My tundra mirrors just barely show enough, that I rarely even look at the tow mirrors. I would have gone with factory tow mirrors, but the power-fold-flat was a necessity. If they could make the factory tow mirrors fold flat, that would greatly help.

Same here. I've been looking for OEM tow-mirrors for my '07 Tacoma since I got it, but no luck so far. Let me know if you find/hear of something. I've tried all the generic strap-ons, clip-ons, velcro-ons, suction-cup ons, etc and they all suck.

I have tow-n-see mirrors and I think they cost me $19 each.

I don't have a Tundra but also use the tow-n-see mirrors on my Expy. They work good with little vibration and move with the OEM mirror when you adjust them. Worth it.

But the McKesh mirrors ruin the rubber strip around your window. I used the McKesh for a few years and by the time I traded in my 4Runner for the 08 Tundra the rubber was permanently deformed.
I like the Tow-n-see mirrors also. The Tow-n-see mirrors move when you move your mirror and do not vibrate like the rubber strap ones do. But I have had the mirror fall off while going 70 down a highway. Luckily they have a loop that is attached to the truck mirror, so it did not fly off and break.

Mine did not come with the Tow Mirrors either. I looked around at the other mirrors to strap on and decided to spend the extra money and get the factory tow mirrors. A little more money but as said above, well worth it.
I bought mine on ebay at a "Toyota" store and saved about $125 for new in box mirrors over the dealer cost. I switched them out myself. Took about 35 minutes for the first one and 10 minutes for the second. You can visit http://www.tundrasolutions.com/ and search tow mirrors and you'll get all kind of responses on how to switch them out.
