I've gotten used to them all except the passenger side tow mirror....it's useless. The small bottom part is ok, but the top is just terrible because it is a 1:1 reflection whereas most other passenger side mirrors are the "objects are closer than they appear" type that give you a larger view.
I tow a cargo trailer all the time for work. With my 04 Tundra I could back that thing into a one car garage from a 90 degree angle using nothing but the passenger side mirror....now I'm straining my neck trying to see what I'm backing into.
Does anybody know of a replacement for the big part of the passenger side tow mirror....something I could maybe just stick on...I don't care if the heater/defrost doesn't work. Thanks!

Same thoughts here. You're not alone.
Outside of the fact they can extend out for towing purposes, I find the towing mirrors to have less real world usefulness than normal mirrors.
You need width in a mirror in my opinion. The normal, non-convex portion of both mirrors is really narrow. I find myself using the tiny lower mirrors on both sides almost all of the time.
They look nice though, I guess.
