it all depends on the stance, if you leveled or higher with some tire poke, then tows work good. if your lowered or stock with flush, then standard mirrors.
I've thought about tows....
But, I agree, it'd have to be wider and taller. And, even then.... I'm not sure I'd like them 100%. I tried the HD tows on the RCSB before and even with the 2" spacers and leveled height it just wasn't enough IMO.
As for turn signals and power fold.... The signals might be "cool".... But, I'd honestly never use the power fold option.
I'll probably eventually do eskys and my fully painted mirrors with chrome caps.

Buddy has them on his 2500 burb but he has 18" welds and 285 or 305s and also has cm'd flares, definitely a case by case thing with suvs
Finally got rid of the ugly, faded orange taillights......
Candied the stockers and cleared. Much better!

These are 33/12.50/17 MTZs. They seem to run kinda short, but wide. Perfect for a DD leveled/sm. BL setup IMO.
The 295/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers I had originally on these FJ wheels were taller, but narrower. Probably a Trail Grappler in the same 295 size would look better IMO. But, I got these MTZs from a buddy for great deal and I couldn't pass them up. Plus, I'd always wanted to try MTZs as it was one I hadn't tried out yet....
Well.... A couple pics from today. Was gonna wash/detail it, but no point..... rain tonight, tomorrow, and Tuesday.
Update.....
Burb grew some today...
Installed my new Moto-Fab 1.5" rear coil spring spacers. Cranked the Ford keys up to match. Then, tossed in the front Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks. Only put the 2" RCX wheel spacers on the front so far.... Back will be widened as well.
I'm loving how nice it sits now!!!!

Lol.
I think a cam'd, LT'd 6.0 would be a better replacement in the weight department for my 1500 suspension....

Yeah but the fun department demands ridiculousness! I kinda almost want to see this at Carlisle this year haha

Well if you are interested, I have a set of DL3 power folding, heated signal mirrors with puddle lights that I'm selling. Once I get some pictures of them I'm gonna post a sale thread.
Handles swapped/painted/cleared. Crappy.... midnight, in the garage, pic.....
