Does anyone know of a decent towing mirror that is available for an 07 Ford Expedition? I have been looking but apparently the slide on type are not available past the 03 models.

Thanks in advance for your help!

We love the McKesh mirrors. They go on and off in a matter of seconds, and will fit any vehicle.

Double ditto on the McKesh mirrors. Before finding the OEMs that fit my van, I used the McKesh.

If for some reason you can't get the McKesh, CIPA makes a similar set. Price is about the same, though.

If price is no object, you could get your mirrors replaced with Ford telescoping towing mirrors. These are available for F-150s which your Expedition is based on. They are a bolt on replacement for the regular ones. A pair of them will run around $500. They are nice since there are no straps and since they are a solid mount, there is no movement of the reflected image. You just grab ahold of them and slide them out for towing and push them in for non-towing. They are similar to the F-250 mirrors. I have seen them on F-150's on dealer lots. Drive through a couple of dealers lots. You may see a couple of them on new F-150s. This is not just a Ford thing. I have seen similar mirrors on GMs, Chevys, Dodges, and Toyotas.

Have these and very happy I spent the extra money for them. Basically set and forget unless your brother in law shows your daughter how to push them out of alignment and thinks it's funny to do it over and over again until you get mad and take them off and hide them - ok maybe my situation is different.

This is my 5th season using McKesh. A great set of tow mirrors.
