Default '07 towing mirrors

Does anyone know if the tow mirrors are available with 'power retract'? The owners manual would say yes, the option list seems to say no.

And how wide is it with the mirrors? The brochure doesn't appear to include the mirrors in the width.

Don't have answer's to your questions.. Sorry

But I would LOVE to have those towing mirrors on my '06 DC! I'm just waiting for them to show up in parts departments/body shops with the off chance they can be easily transplanted onto my '06.

The tow mirrors do not have power extend/retract, only manual. The regular mirrors have a power fold option.

aHaaa! That's the kicker then. The limited I was referring to earlier has the tow mirrors and that's why it doesn't have power retract.

So, to clarify since there's NO conclusive information to be found online:

Tow mirrors do NOT retract electronically
The standard mirrors DO have electric folding capabilities.

This is what it says on Toyota.com, "Tow mirrors -- power, heated, extendable, with turn signals, black (requires V8 Tow Package)."

You are correct and that's what I read. I took that to mean that they were manually extendable outward for better viewing and not electronic folding. Toyota needs to word it better as aside from that there are now conflicting stories online and I only assume that it's due to people interpreting this differently.

under Features and Prices on Toyota's Web site it says this

Tow mirrors [2] – manual-extend, power-adjustable, heated, with turn signals (requires V8 Tow Package)

I have noticed different sections sometimes say different things and sometimes the conflict. Then on top of that the manual and accessories brochures from the dealer may say something even different. I wish they would all get on the same page.

People have posted here that their trucks have them though and the CrewMax hasn't even been released yet so I think that your dealership is just as confused as the rest of us on this one.

the double cab has them for sure. The one I test drove last friday, 5.7 SR5 towpackage, had them. They extend out manually about 6 inches. They were the desiding factor in my desision to go ahead and by one. Mine will be here at the end of March. 5.7 SRF DC, vibrant Red, TRD, Tow mirrors, tow package, JBL 6 disc, bed rails. The only think I wish it came with bas the bench seats. Oh well.

We know Toyota offers towing mirrors. What we are trying to figure out is whether or not they offer towing mirrors that are power extendable/retractable.

Actually, my original question was whether they power FOLD. I know they are manually extended and retracted.

Only the Limited regular mirrors power fold. The tow mirrors do not--I wish they did.
