We installed a set of extendable tow mirrors on a Chevy Silverado and wired them in — power, heat, signals, and the running lights all working — giving the owner a much wider, safer view when towing. A clean upgrade that makes hauling a trailer far less stressful.
This Silverado came through Juggernaut USA in Wheat Ridge (Denver), CO for tow mirrors. Factory mirrors are fine day to day, but they leave big blind spots the moment you hook up a wide trailer. Extendable tow mirrors fix that — they reach out past the trailer for a clear view down both sides. The catch is the wiring, and that is where a proper install matters.

A wider view for towing
Extendable tow mirrors telescope out past the width of a trailer, so you can actually see traffic and lane lines down both sides instead of staring at the side of your load. On a truck that tows regularly, that visibility is a real safety upgrade — and the mirrors fold back in for everyday driving.
Wiring it in right
Modern tow mirrors are not just glass — they carry power fold and adjust, heat, turn-signal indicators, and running lights. Making all of that work means integrating cleanly into the truck's harness, not splicing and hoping. We wired these so every function works exactly like factory, with no warning lights and no guesswork.
Common questions on this build
Do tow mirrors need to be wired?
The powered kind do — for fold, heat, signals, and running lights. Doing it cleanly into the factory harness is what makes every function work reliably without electrical gremlins.
Are tow mirrors worth it if I only tow sometimes?
If you tow anything wide, yes. Extendable mirrors fold in for daily driving and extend out only when you need the extra visibility — the best of both.
Can you install and wire accessories on my truck?
Yes — mirrors, lighting, and electrical accessories, wired in clean and reliable. We do it in-house.
