No idea on mirrors. Are there any suggestions on this? I see there are Ford towing telescoping mirrors that offer the heated, puddle and turn signal feature like the stock mirrors. But that's $600 for the pair. What is everyone else using?

Extendable mirrors before I traded trucks, now I have a F-250 and think the extendable & fold-able mirrors are fantastic.
It's a shame Ford doesn't put these mirrors on the F-150 as a standard item... Great towing mirror.

Most people use some kind of clip or or clamp on the OEM mirrors. Check out CIPA and K Source if they have any that fit the Expy. Do not get universal ones unless McKesh.

I did not know Ford offered a wider towing mirror on the Expy. I would check out Ebay for OEM clones too, often for about $200-300/pair.

Cooper makes a 275/55R20 that I don't think is actually a truck tire but it does hold 50 lbs. of air. I think thats what I'm going to try when I get rid of my Scorpions later this year. Their not listed as a P or an LT at least not on their websight. But they do call them a truck tire ?

X2 on these, I run the same ones.

I also contacted CPIA to see if they had a custom set in the works for the Expedition but they do not find it as important as we do.

We use Reese add on mirrors on our Expy. Under $20 even at CW.

I like them because they have two adjustable mirrors and fit well/ strap down tight.
