Ford F250/350 tow mirror identification help
Hi gang. There's a guy selling a set of tow mirrors he says he got from the Ford dealer. How do I tell if they are genuine Ford mirrors and not a Chinese aftermarket set?
Is their a FOMOCO part number of those? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, S |

I'll keep that number handy, but I forgot to mention the mirrors are for 1999-2003 F250 (maybe later).

There are part numbers on them, where they bolt to the door frame I believe. I'd have to unbolt mine to look.
How much does he want, thats a dead give away. Bill |

If Ford stay true to what they've always done, the numbers on the part is not the actual part number when looked up.

I just replaced one on my 2005 F350 King Ranch. There is a FORD logo cast into the part that mounts to the door. It's not the blue oval, just a FORD script.

I guess it does have the oval. Here's a pic:

Thats a good price. I am guessing they don't have the turn signals in them.

Not sure about the turnsignal, but the mirrors were bought for a 1999. I don't think they had turnsignals at that point. No heat. I can pick up chinese mirrors on eBay for leas than $200. I just don't want to pay for these to find out I bought $150 eBay mirrors for $195.

Picked up the tow mirrrors today and they are Ford factory mirrors. Brand new, still in the box they were delivered in for $195.
It took me and one of the kidfs 30 minutes to install them and I love them! Can't wait to tow with them. As I told the wife, "I have a real truck now." |

Congrats on the mirror upgrade, but if you don't have a King Ranch dually, you don't have a 'real truck'.
