Extended towing mirrors are important for 4WD owners who tow a caravan, boat or large trailer. We recommend the MSA 4x4 Accessories towing mirrors, or if you have a camera or autofold, the Clearview Accessories range will have you covered.
Extended towing mirrors are needed for several reasons:
- Safety: When towing a trailer or caravan, the driver's field of vision can be obstructed by the trailer, making it difficult to see what's behind or beside the vehicle. Extended towing mirrors help to overcome this problem by providing a wider field of vision, which improves safety on the road.
- Legal compliance: In many states, it is a legal requirement to use extended towing mirrors when towing a trailer or caravan that extends beyond the width of the towing vehicle. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in fines and penalties.
- Convenience: Extended towing mirrors make it easier to monitor the position of the trailer or caravan while driving, which can be particularly useful when changing lanes or reversing.
- Damage prevention: Without extended towing mirrors, the driver may be unable to see if the trailer or caravan is swinging out of control, which can result in damage to both the vehicle and the trailer.
Overall, extended towing mirrors are essential for safe and legal towing, and they make the process more convenient and less stressful for the driver.
