Hail took out my side mirrors the other day on my 06 Silverado 2500. They were power sport mirrors with heat, and I would like to upgrade to some tow mirrors since I have to replace anyway. So do I go with Flea-Bay for around $100 a pair or? Anyone have a suggestion on a set of side view mirrors for my work truck?

Get OEM tow mirrors. They will bolt and plug in and work.
When the tailgate drops the BS stops.

At $900 a pair for OEM new, and about $400 for used. I'm looking for alternatives for my old pickup.

OEM style from rock auto. Looks like they are about $67 to $70 per side.

Probably the same mirrors on eBay, they're all OEM style. I'm more interested if anyone has tried some of these mirrors.

I got some of the ebay oem mirrors for my Ford. They was such wavy, chitty things you couldn't hardly use them. So I got some from a junkyard and threw the ebay ones in the trash....

You could save money, bump up your liability insurance and just back up until you hear glass breaking…

Well, I didn't upgrade to tow mirrors. I was able to get a used set of sport mirrors for $100.

You could save money, bump up your liability insurance and just back up until you hear glass breaking… I've said that about those high dollar front bumpers. Most of them aren't strong enough to take a hit from a large animal anyway. You can save a lot of money by just paying for a reduced insurance deductible.
