I have these http://www.etrailer.com/Mirrors/CIPA/11650.html.
At the time I bought these they had really good reviews. They are exactly like the McKesh brand but much cheaper. No vibrations and they one of the few that go out far enough to actually see what's behind you.

I just got a pair of those mirrors. I have not used them towing yet, but I did put them on the truck today. They look great.
I do wish they had more mirror area. I'll know for sure if they are viable once I hitch up the trailer.

Bang for the buck (my benchmark for everything RV related), you can NOT beat the CIPA slide on mirrors. They do not vibrate, slide on securely in seconds and give an excellent view all for $69 (for my F-150). When I am not towing just slide them off and place them in the storage bay of the TT. What more do you want?

x2, However, I rarely take mine off. Mine have been living on my truck since early march. LOL
If they make them for your vehicle, the slide on mirrors are awesome!
Thanks!

Those were my next option. I struggled hard b/w the CIPA's and the permanent replacements. I ended up going permanent, not only for the better sight and safety, but I think they'll look awesome on my truck. It was just another mod for me. I will NEVER get rid of this truck....I could probably pay the truck off for what I've spent in mods

I was in the same position. Do I go permanent or go slide on?
I went slide on because the "Big-Tow" look mirrors on my body style F-150 look out of place "In my opinion"
Thanks!

I was worried about the same thing. I HOPE they don't look bad. I might throw some pics up when I'm done installing.....should be tomorrow or Tuesday I hope. I've leveled my truck and put on aftermarket fender flares, wider tires, etc., so I'm hoping they will blend in. We will see.
