I have the 2004 SE CC w/o BT so I do not have the extendable mirrors. I am going to but the factory BT mirrors and was wondering if anyone out there had ever changed them out? I looked for a thread on this but could not find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

Remove the door panel.. It's a piece of cake once you've had to do it a few times...

Someone hit me up with a PM if you don't mind walking me through some basic towing info. All I've towed before is a boat or two. I've got an '06 king cab 4x4 SE with the towing package and I'm looking at getting a 7k# trailer to tow when I move cross country. I need some academics on basic towing stuff (hitches, weight distro and anti-sway) and figured this would be a good place to ask what I need to get. Just towing to move right now, not an everyday thing so I don't want to break the bank with a gucci setup. I just want to make sure I cover all the bases. Thanks in advance...
7k should be manageable without sway or air bags but I would still add at least one of the two for such a long haul. The hitch is the easiest to add. Equal-i-zer is a popular brand. Get a brake controller installed.
Just remember don't overload your trailer. If its a 7k enclosed then it probably weighs ~3k so you can haul 4k worth of stuff inside, secure the load so it doesn't shift. Keep the tires in the trailer aired up to the correct PSI.
BTW I have an 06 CC with Big Tow. I pull a 28' enclosed trailer with my Ftoy inside. And this is my 15th post so I can hopefully post links pictures now.
I tow a 23 foot front sleeper weekend warrior toybox. It weighs about 8500 loaded and my only complaint is not having air bags. I have a weight distributer and It is a must. The truck has tons of power to tow it but the bed of the truck rocks slightly once in a while. So Igure air bags of a thicker sway bar would help.

I tow the same trailer, and the air bags work great!!! But make sure your hitch is set-up correctly first. Which W/D hitch do you have?
Pre Air Bags..
