Summary

  • Automotive mirrors are reflective components that give drivers a clear view of the vehicle’s rear. 
  • There are two types of mirrors installed on F-150 trucks: internal rear-view mirrors and side-view mirrors.
  • Internal rear view mirrors help drivers observe oncoming traffic at the rear of the truck.
  • Side mirrors give the driver a clear view of the length of the truck on both the driver and passenger side.
  • Common features of truck mirrors include heated glass, anti-glare mirrors, auto-dimming technology, and built-in lights.
  • OEM replacement mirrors typically cost anywhere between $200 and $860.

Whenever we think of an American truck, the Ford F-150 always comes first to mind. Since its debut in the mid-70s, it has gone through several facelifts  which transformed it from a powerful workhorse to a stylish personal-use vehicle. Technology has played a central role in modernizing this classic, and this is quite evident if you take a closer look at F-150 mirrors.

What are automotive mirrors?

Automotive mirrors are reflective components that give drivers a clear view of the vehicle’s rear. These mirrors extend the driver’s awareness of pedestrians, objects, vehicles, and road conditions outside his peripheral vision. These parts play a crucial role in safely making turns, switching lanes, and backing into parking spots.

What are the types of Ford F-150 mirrors?

There are two types of mirrors installed on F-150 trucks: internal rear-view mirrors and side-view mirrors.

Internal rear-view mirrors

Internal rear-view mirrors are often referred to as simply rear-view mirrors. This part helps drivers see   oncoming traffic at the rear of the truck, without the need to turn their back on the steering wheel.

Convex mirrors are used for rear-view mirrors in order to reflect distant images. These are typically installed on a plastic base plate that is adjusted using a swivel joint. The rear-view mirror is installed in the upper-middle section of the windshield.

External rear-view mirrors

External rear-view mirrors are more popularly known as side-view mirrors, side mirrors, or wing mirrors. This external mirror gives the driver a clear view of the length of the truck on both the driver and passenger side. These are installed in the front of the vehicle, on both sides of the dashboard or right on the door panel.

Towing side mirrors

Towing mirrors are also referred to as trailer tow mirrors. As its name suggests, these mirrors are made to provide better visibility along the length of your truck, including any vehicle or trailer hitched to its rear.

A popular optional feature for F-150 trucks is telescopic side mirrors which slide out for towing and push back in place for regular use. The 2018 Ford F-150 Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum even have options for electronically controlled telescoping tow mirrors.

Portable towing side mirrors

These are temporary towing mirrors that can be installed on your truck’s existing side mirror. Some come as clip-on attachments, while others are installed on the mirror’s surface using an adhesive. There are portable tow mirrors marketed as universal, and also those made specifically for each truck’s year, make, and model.

Foldable side mirrors

Modern Ford F-150 trucks feature foldable side mirrors that either has manual or electric adjustment systems.

Manual side mirrors

A manual foldable side mirror is physically adjusted by the driver from outside the vehicle, or through a lever accessible from inside the door or window panel.

Power mirrors

Motorized side mirrors are  popularly called power mirrors. This type of mirror uses technology that allows you to save your preferences and switch between angles with a touch of a button.

Why is the driver and passenger side mirror different?

The driver’s side features a flat mirror while the passenger’s side uses a convex mirror. Each side uses a different mirror to manage image distortion. Since the driver is seated close to the flat mirror, the images reflected are generally accurate.

If the passenger side also uses a flat mirror, only a fraction of the reflection will be seen from the driver’s seat. A convex mirror compensates for the angle and distance between the passenger side mirror and the driver, providing a clear view of the other side of the vehicle.

Common features of Ford F-150 mirrors

Heated glass

Heated mirrors are external mirrors that have built-in warming systems that melt frost and ice. This feature gives drivers a clear view from their side mirrors, even in winter climates.

Anti-glare mirrors

Anti-glare mirrors, also known as day/night mirrors, use specialized glass that controls the  reflection of light to protect the driver’s eyes. This feature prevents you from being blinded by direct sunlight or the headlights of other vehicles behind your truck.

Auto-dimming technology

Newer F-150 trucks have rearview mirrors  with auto-dimming function. This type of mirror uses glass which is sandwiched between an electrochromic gel and electronically conductive coating. This system darkens the glass based on the brightness and ambient light detected by the sensors.

Built-in lights

Side mirrors may also come with provisioning for turn-signal lights and puddle lights.

Finding the right mirror for your Ford F-150

Over the years, there have been 13 generations of the F-series trucks. Each generation features parts in varying styles and sizes. To help you find the right mirrors for your F-150, input your vehicle’s year, make, and model on our website’s search engine.

How much is a replacement Ford F-150 mirror?

The cost of a replacement Ford F-150 mirror will vary depending on your truck’s year and model. OEM replacement mirrors typically cost anywhere between $200 and $860. While it is possible to work on this part on your own, we recommend going to a trusted mechanic for installation.

When should truck mirrors be replaced?

Clear and accurate mirrors are important features that help you drive safely on the road. Side and rearview mirrors must be replaced when the glass is cracked or if its reflection is already obscured. As an external component of your truck, side mirrors are more likely to require replacement due to damage from debris, collision, or even theft.
