I am looking for tow mirrors for a Acadia. The only 2 choices I have found so far are the tow-n-see and the CIPA Temporary Mount Towing Mirror. Any recommendations?
Have you considered the McKesh Mirrors? They're first rate. We used a set when we towed with our F150. They provide an excellent sight of view of the rear of the trailer.
From what I've seen (no pun intended) the McKesh (I belive there is another brand with the same style setup) are the best if you need to be able to use them all the time. The clip on to the mirror ones shake pretty much when traveling making everything very blurry but work fine for backing up and such, at least that was my experience. On the Con side... I find I remove the McKesh if I'm going to be doing any running around without the trailer, due to their size it's more of a hassle to remove/install them then the clip on jobs would be. They are also a pain to get setup in the first place, I need to use a screwdriver to get them adjusted, luckily they rarely need adjusting after the 1st time.

The Mckesh style are the only ones that do any thing for my TT. If you have a narrow body TT you may be able to get away with the slide on CIPA's if they make one for that newer style vehicle. I tried clip ons, they just wiggle and fall off, don't wast your money there.
BTW, Nice vehicle, what will you tow?
