Improve Your Towing Experience with the Right Mirrors for the Job

Many of us tow with our vehicles, and if you’ve ever pulled something larger than a small trailer, you know it can be difficult to see what’s behind you with factory mirrors. They’re usually not big enough and almost certainly don’t extend to a helpful width.

The Quick Fix: Clip-On Towing Mirrors

The cheap solution is clip-on towing mirrors for your 4WD. These simply attach to your existing factory side mirrors. However, they probably won’t win you any points in the aesthetics department, and are unlikely to integrate with the electric features in modern vehicles.

Is There a Better Way?

The good news is that there are now plenty of ADR-approved aftermarket towing mirrors available for most makes and models. A lot of work has gone into retaining all the factory mirror features you love. These mirrors offer a cleaner look with superior visibility thanks to larger mirror surfaces and full adjustability to accommodate anything you might need to tow.

Clearview Next Gen Towing Mirrors – Features and Benefits
Enhanced Visibility

Clearview Next Gen mirrors have a large surface area, providing a wider field of view around your trailer or caravan. The large flat top mirror helps with reversing into parking spaces or aligning a hitch with a trailer, and the smaller convex mirror provides a better understanding of what’s happening around the vehicle.

Adjustability

Clearview Next Gen Towing Mirrors have three stages of extension, up to 180mm, and can retract back in when you’re not towing. They come equipped with electric adjustment using the same switch as your factory mirrors, and they retain the powered folding capability for parking in tight spaces or driving down narrow four-wheel drive tracks.

Safety Features

Safety is a priority with the ClearView Next Gen Towing Mirrors. They have integrated indicators and heating elements (depending on your vehicle model) for clear visibility in all weather conditions. These mirrors are built to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance. You won’t lose factory features like memory settings, heated mirrors, or blind spot monitoring.
