WHY Do Ram Owners Drive with their MIRRORS UP?!? *Real Reason*

[@mikebongiorno6343]

I have a 2019 ram 3500 and i leave the mirrors up for one simple reason. I can see way more with them up...i virtually have no blind spot and can see 5+ lanes of traffic at all times. I agree with you completely.

[@jayirving6996]

Your a Fuckin idiot u can see more up and down but not side to side and unless u have a dually u should be able to see behind you perfectly with them down unless your eyes are crossed from being kick in the head by a horse as a child witch could very well be the case!

[@codyd.4711]

Your the fucking idiot. when flipped up the convex part of the mirror 100% allows you to see a lot more

[@deadfreightwest5956]

You nailed it. My 1500 has these mirrors, and when they are down, when I look into the "blind spot" mirror prior to changing lanes on the freeway, I have to peer carefully at it to see what's around me. Having the mirrors in the tow mode, the "blind spot" mirror is in its logical position.

[@ryan2546]

Exactly cool concept not a good design when they’re down

[@chriswilliams9069]

I have a 2018 mega cab. I drove with them down for the first 600 miles. I put them up when towing my toy hauler. They haven’t been down since. It makes a world of difference. I didn’t even know the tow mirror meme was a thing until later. My grandparents have a 2016 mega cab. I only recently just asked why they always left them up. Grandpa said “I can see more area behind me. There is no point to having them down, ever. In maybe but not down.” I agreed.

[@ryan2546]

Yep, there’s so much more visibility you can’t afford not to have them up! World of difference!

[@poohbearr80]

I just bought a 2500 yesterday and did not even realize they flipped up like that but after watching this video I flipped them up and I can tell you for sure that they are much more functional flipped up. I struggled all day with those mirrors did this and I am good to go.

[@renanusa6559]

😂 same problem as me hahahahaha

[@getpower1]

I’m a truck driver...totally agree that the mirrors are more functional when up than down. On my truck, I can’t bring myself to do it. They stay down unless I’m towing. It’s annoying adjusting them when changing, but with memory buttons it’s not a huge deal. There’s a happy medium with the spot mirror where they work up and down without adjusting. Btw, just to keep you updated, with a knee surgery the wife is enjoying the steps! Thanks again!

[@ryan2546]

You are welcome! You see my jump to get in now 😂😂😂 wife would probably you know what to you if it was that high. Glad you enjoy!

[@wgreenjr81]

I don't think anyone questions the increased functionality of the mirrors when they're up, its the issue that Dodge doesn't make the arm retractable. I've got tow mirrors on my Silverado but when it's not in tow mode the mirror pod is only about 3 inches from the body instead of 8 when the arm is at full extension.

[@maccheese9072]

[@rev9fan1]

Except being a Ram owner and having to hear it all the time really sucks, now I just copy the link to this video and people shut up real quick about it 😂

[@BRoszel1]

Thanks for finally explaining. The mirrors are definitely a poor design. Mirrors should not become less effective when not towing. I would absolutely be irritated having to deal with those & I even like ram pickups!

[@ram89572]

Brian Roszel I’d disagree that they become less effective when in the down position. I have a 2016 Ram 1500 with these same tow mirrors and I always drive with them down and still see fine. It all comes down to how you adjust them. Also when you have them up you have to turn your head more to see them which means more travel time and less overall road awareness even if by only half a second.

[@rev9fan1]

Well no it's an awesome design when flipped out, honestly the only reason I think Dodge gives the option for flip down/up is for off roading. I own a Power Wagon and with the mirrors down and adjust right I can see every rock I'm crawling and it's great for spotting everything. But not many people actually off road with their trucks, it also gives another 3 inches or so of clearance between obstacles, but I have auto fold in so it's not really a problem

[@starmc26]

What's there to deal with?... Just leave them flipped up.

[@offroad5798]

Huge Ram guy but personally, mirrors down looks better to me

[@josh.kaptur]

you finally articulated what so many people don't get. The mirrors are WAY more functional for everyday driving in the two position. In fact, I almost never use the larger glass on my mirror... the small one oriented in towing position is amazing. Big one only gets used for when I need to adjust it to see clearance of the boat or a low angle when parking or something.

[@kb3ejw14]

I spent 19yrs driving an 18 wheeler.the spot mirror is on the bottom.I got into my '15 Ram with the tow package and mirrors.I turned them up and never looked back.and yes,I do tow a 34' travel trailer.

[@alankaster835]

That’s the exact same reason why I have mine up. I don’t care for how far they sick out but I see so much more.

[@christophersanders4152]

I do it because it's my truck and feel like it. I don't give 2 craps less what anyone thinks of it. I tow with my truck 90% of the time and I'm not adjusting them every time I drop my trailer. Don't like it? Suck it!

Excellent strategy. I changed from a 2008 Nissan Titan (half-ton) to a 2922 RAM 2500 crew cab (3/4 ton) but continued to use the RAM mirrors just like the Titan (down and out). I will certainly try this today.

[@oologahnorthernrailroad8873]

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500. At first, I had the mirrors folded down. That was until I decided to fold them up, and I’m happy that I did. I can see so much better!

[@tylorhughes4484]

It definitely is more practical having them up. That's how I'd run them. I am glad my jeep Cam with those Walmart stick on wide view mirrors, they are such a help especially backing out if a spot.

[@larryschmitz4281]

I just bought a 2014 Dodge 1500 Big Horn. I wasn't aware of the capability of folding the mirrors up. When I first got in the truck to drive it, when using the mirrors I felt that my eyes were crossing due to the set up of the outer convex mirror. I'm used to driving a semi. I'm sitting here 1200 miles away from our yard hoping my mirrors will fold up. It would be so natural for me to drive with them on the up position. As I was heading to the yard to leave out this run I almost had a close encounter with another car riding in the lane next to me. There is a lot I still have to learn about the truck due to not getting an owners manual with it. I do have a manual on it's way to the house now And yes, your truck looks sharp.

[@f16grinch3]

I don’t disagree with the extra vis laterally back behind me when vertical. However, I found when I had it vertical, I had a substantial blind spot to the left and right to look around when I come to a T intersection and have to clear left and right before proceeding. Additionally, I use the small mirror only to clear my blind spot at my 7-8 and 4-5 o’clock position and the large mirror to see the larger area (5 parking spots) you are referring to with the small mirror.

[@Joeygvwngm4me]

Yeah, I don’t understand why these guys wanna look so far left and right when they can’t see what’s right next to the door

[@Lsx865]

I drive a 17' 5500 single cab. I can't drive with them flipped up. I like em down. Little mirrors for side/end of truck. Big mirror out away from truck and get same view.

[@kevinmoorer8266]

I've got an F250 I keep my mirrors in cause I don't want to slap mirrors with someone on a narrow road an I pull a 16 foot trailer everyday. What I don't like about the Dodge trucks with the mirrors up is there so much wider than down.

[@justinbarnes5498]

As a professional delivery driver pulling trailers that are up to 8.5 wide daily, I can tell you that it is customary to have the tow mirror in the outward position. Some ask why I don't retract them after delivery - and it's because when you are used to the convex portion of the mirror being in a specific spot of view, changing it back and forth only serves to confuse things. When I need to change lanes abruptly, I need to know that the lane beside me is clear - I don't have to time to waste searching the entire mirror for the convex to verify nothing is the way.

[@floydmorey]

I've been driving one for a month I don't like the look of the mirrors up but you can definitely see out of them like 300 times better. But down they're actually pretty distracting almost to the point where it's dangerous but they look better

[@ryan2546]

exactly very very distracting with the mirrors left and right like that the line between the mirrors is exactly where you should be looking and it messes me up bad if they’re not up

When you put it in reverse while theyre up do they cant down like they do when theyre folded down

When they are up and shift the 68RFE into reverse, the mirrors do cant down. Very nice for backing up. I was not aware the mirrors moved when they were down. You're making me want to double check it. [2010 3500 DRW Laramie]

[@MicahWotring1]

My 03 1500 has the other mirror in the corner and it's not adjustable. I flip it up so that I can use the big mirror for regular use and the small mirror then points at my back wheel which makes backing up a breeze. Cheers man

[@loganbrice7781]

I have a Ram with the regular mirrors and have wanted to get the tow mirrors since I got the truck and finally got the option and I would drive with them flipped up most of the time because of all the reasons you mentioned in the video but I have heard alot of people yourself included say they are kinda pointless with the mirrors down and the view is way less which I understand but is this the same view as the regular power fold mirrors? If so I am alright with that but I don't want to get new mirrors for the normal position to be worse than my current mirrors. Thank you. Edit so I have the mirrors now and even in the down position I believe it's rougly the same view as the regular mirrors but takes a little getting used too i have noticed everything is a little bit off on the main mirror but it could be the way the mirror is angled and the lighting, the convex mirror in down position is pretty much pointles

[@bigron8346]

Your young you think it's cool that is ok but I've driven dodges for over 20 years and still have a 2500 Cummings turbo diesel and the mirrors are for towing and I think it looks ridiculous driving with the mirrors up but it's your prerogative

[@Kyle_Godfrey111]

[@LCVEable]

I agree Ron, it seems allot of the younger generation drives with the mirrors up. I keep my mirrors down because I also think it looks ridiculous with them up while not towing. I can see everything I need to with my mirrors in the down position. On another note, It is a beautiful truck and I do love the manual transmission! The tires are overkill, but if that is what he likes, that is all that matters.

Alternatively he could learn how to adjust his mirrors properly...

[@harleyames6895]

What if you tow a lot and don't want to keep going in and out back and forth just for when your not towing ram should really make them automated that's why I always leave mine up and I would be in the younger generation at 23 i own a 2011 3500 Dually and tow very frequently for the construction company I work for

[@LCVEable]

I do agree they should be automated, they fold in automatically but you still have to manually put them up or down. That is one of my complaints with the mirrors.

[@sholbura]

Just tried this for the first time on my 2021 Ram 2500 and it’s a day & night difference. Soo easyto see the blind spots now amd definitely easier to backup.

I disagree with the remark to have your vehicle insight of your mirror.

[@MrPlecemanvpd]

Where did you find a manual? I wish they could be easier to find. My last manual was a 1995 Ford F-150 with the 302. I loved that truck and the manual shifter. My next truck was a 2003 Ram 1500 4.7 awesome truck. Since then my next 3 trucks were all Dodge / Ram

Not sure if anyone said it yet but it's also annoying having to adjust them to see. When you flip them up, the controls on the power mirror are backwards which makes it difficult to adjust. Then just to flip them down and re adjust and then back up to tow, re adjust (backwards again) ... just easier to leave them up because of all the pros

I still do, but if the front end of a car is next to me, I can still see the back end of the car in the mirror.

I have mine adjusted perfectly where they are the same up or down, but I leave mine up. I do it for safety. Seeing if a little car is in my blind spot of my dually is more important than some teen saying I look stupid! I tow a 40' trailer often so I don't want to have to think about where my mirrors are or if they are up and down. Switching back and forth can't be good for you especially if you need to see if you're able to merge quickly and you don't have time to think!

whichever way works best is what id go with when im backing up id rather see more of whats behind me than a little bit of it theres nothing wrong with seeing more so you know where other people are or cars and tbh that view backing up cant be beat

I run the tow mirrors out on my Ram 3500 for the same reason. Especially being lifted 6”

[@ryan2546]

Exactly Can’t see shit with them down

[@n2snow]

That makes sense, but it’s not as easy to get in garage with mirrors up. Also more wind drag with mirrors up. (Fuel mileage)

[@kc8653]

Did he just really say it's hard to keep it clean. Lmao. It's a truck if you ain't got mud on it you got a car. Which this is basically well built mall crawler

First video I watched was the easy tailgate thing It just popped up so I watched it. I bought my first pick up truck a couple weeks ago. And it is a 2008 Dodge Ram 4.7l magnum (not a hemi 😭 ) and it’s 2wd unfortunately so I’ll be making it a street truck.

[@ryan2546]

Slam that thing and tune it up!!! Only ways I like trucks! Jack em up or slam them on their nuts

[@stephenhardman9784]

Hate the Dumbo mirrors but you are absolutely correct! I won't drive in Moose Mode unless I have a trailer for the simple fact I don't wanna be "that guy"!

[@DavidWykofka]

When I drove a ram I used the down position most of the time but what I didn't do is overlap the view. There is no reason to see the same thing in both mirrors so you just adjust the outer mirrors right edge to the inner mirrors left edge and you get MOST of what you get in position 2. I got a couple of mpg more with the mirrors in position 1 so it was worth it.

Had those stand up mirrors on my 2004 Ram, I had them up ONCE for towing a trailer... Just traded it in a month ago...

Anybody else having head gasket coolant issues on their 6.7's? I got a 2017 dually 4d 4wd with just 100k mi and it is loosing coolant like crazy until I put some Bars Leak professional in it and I'm afraid it's gonna go again soon. Been about 2000 mi with no issues yet but I feel like it's a ticking time bomb. 4300$ to fix they say even tho online it says it ranges from 950 1100 for parts and labor

[@ToTheTopCrane]

I drive mirrors down unless I'm towing my 36 foot camper. Then it's mirrors up. Also, pickups, regardless of what make are small. The crane I drive down the road on my channel is over 11 feet wide and 85 feet long. A pickup is like driving a Prius after a day in the crane. Lol

[@ryan2546]

Lol ur playing in a whole different ball field during the day lol! Truck must feel so smal

[@ToTheTopCrane]

Ryan Mayer, when I get in my truck at the end of the day, I feel like I'm driving a go-kart. Lol

[@barrettgranger9139]

I guess I see where your coming from. I’ve got a 2000 2nd gen and my mirror doesn’t have the big bottom mirror is why I ride with my mirrors down.
