Whats the deal on side mirrors? I did a search and did not turn anything up.
I see pics of some that look like some of the SD trucks I have seen with 2 bars holding the mirror away from the tuck. Others have an attached mirror with no spacers like the bars.
Are they from different trim levels or years or options like heated?

The mirrors you describe as having the 2 bars are the optional towing mirrors that were available on both the X and SD. These mirrors manually extend for towing by pulling them out on the arms (bars).
The mirrors that are attached are the standard mirrors that came on both the X and SD.
I ordered my X with the towing mirrors but I would think they are an easy upgrade if you do not have them.

Thanks guys. My pontoon boat is wide and the tow mirrors would be helpful. I if the Ex I end up buying does not have them, I will buy some and put them on.
got my set from www.powerstrokeshop.com you can get them cheaper off ebay but just make sure they are OEM mirrors. I have heard of the cheap ones rattling apart.
good luck,
Steven
