The fact that you updated us after a good amount of time with the mirrors is such an admirable thing. Best video in my opinion, thank you sir!!

Glad to hear you liked the style! It’s really the only true way where I feel like you can get to know the product before you review it.

Great video on your thoughts after using the mirrors! I'm going to buy mine on Friday and look forward to the install and all the benefits you mentioned in your video. I appreciated your realistic approach and review. Thank you!

Thanks and you are welcome! It’s really worth the money. I’m extremely happy with it and it’s been great this winter. I’m sure you will really like it especially if you do any towing.

Great video! Great follow up on their use after some time. Thank you!!

Thanks Mitch! I'm really liking them.

Nice upgrade. Not sure I would that for my application, hauling my boat I haven't really had visibility problems. But I could see that for a camper or cargo trailer for sure.

Yea, it isn't necessary unless you are towing at max width. My snowmobile trailer is max width and I definitely need it to see around. It's made my life much easier. I also like the smaller convex mirrors on the bottom as I am maneuvering around things in the yard. Thanks for checking it out!

Great Video.

Ddi you run into any issues with temperature sensor in the mirror? I've seen other comments about it but don't know if it applies to my 2020 xlt (similar to your truck).

@SmackeysGarage

Жыл бұрын

I did not. My temperature sensor operates correctly as it should with this mirror.

@SmackeysGarage Now that you've had these mirrors for a year, would you still recommend them? I've been towing my boats without extended mirrors for a while now but starting to consider the upgrade. It's easy to loose the trailer placement in the passenger side mirror

Yea 100% will still recommend them. They have held up great with no degradation or issues at all. Work well in winter for towing and the manual extend/fold all still works great. When I get a new truck, I'll probably end up getting these mirrors again. I couldn't see myself not running tow mirrors on a truck. It does take some time to find the placement you like for the smaller mirrors on the bottom but when you get it dialed in, it is great for towing. It's also really nice to have a lot more visibility when not towing.

Thank you for the insights! Like you said, these things ain’t cheap so reviews and feedback are super helpful. Much appreciated! Glad to hear they’re holding up well.

Do the lower WIDE mirrors, adjust, maybe not via motor/remotely...but can you push them around to tweak their angle any?

Nice!! They finally got smart and put the connector on the mirror, Instead of running it down behind the door panel. #BuiltByBo

So my stock mirrors don’t have a blinker or any lights on them, do you know if there is any extra wiring to install this mirror for me since it has a blinker?

@SmackeysGarage

I really think it depends on your year and options. I believe even the XLs had the option for turn signal mirrors so the connection is most likely there. I would reach out to Boost directly through email and see what they say. I’m sure they get the question often. If you wanted running lights on the mirrors you would definitely have to run a wire like I did.

Looks great, now do my truck! 😄

My original mirrors have 360 ​​camera. Is it possible to move it or will it be on the mirror I will buy new?

I checked their site quickly. It looks like it either comes with the camera or is camera enabled. Might be worth reaching out to them.

Will tow mirrors work on a 2016 xl f-150 with no turn signals or heated mirrors???

Yes they will. My truck didn't have DRL and I was still able to add them, but it was more wiring. EDIT WITH NEW LINK: boostautoparts.com/products/2015-2020-f150-tow-mirrors?rq=th_ford%7Eyr_2016%7Emk_f-150&variant=33715135283335

If you just want the signal to work when you install them do you still have to go in the door panel

@SmackeysGarage

My understanding is if you have signal only mirrors you do not need to go into the door panel.

So do these mirrors eliminate the electronic folding feature?

Boost offers a set with electronic folding. You'd have to look through their options but it is a dropdown on their site.

you didn t show connection of the daytime wire. unless i missed it

I probably didn't. I just did a few tips on it rather than the details of the full install. The Boost video shows exactly where it goes. It was a miss on my part with this video. I should have done a full detailed install.

So what exactly did that extra cable plug into?

Is there a different way to hook up the cable?

Not a good way. It's a pain, but after you get one done the second is easier...Getting it through the door and boot is the hardest part.

How is the vibration while driving? I just bought a cheap set on Amazon and on the highway they have horrible vibration. Thanks!

@SmackeysGarage

It's no worse than the stock mirrors that they replaced. That was one of my biggest worries with aftermarket mirrors. They do vibrate some, but I believe it's inline with the stock mirrors. I wasn't able to tell a difference from switching from stock.

@Smackey's Garage great, thank you! I may have to return these Amazon ones and go with the Boost Auto ones. The vibration drives me crazy haha. And the temp sensor has been about 5 degrees higher than the actual temp. Not a huge deal, but bugs me haha.

Boost's youtube channel has a good install video that goes through that. I only meant to show tips and tricks for people who are installing them not the full install. For the next videos I'll make sure to include everything.
