Get the Best Priced Dodge Ram 1500 Mirror

Wing mirror, side view mirror, fender mirror, door mirror--car mirrors have had a lot of different names throughout the years. However, they've always served the same important function: keeping drivers and passengers safe. Mirrors are probably the least technically complicated feature you'll find on your Ram 1500, but they save lives every single day. Mirrors are essential to any vehicle but, particularly if you're driving a large, load-bearing pickup, the correct and most effective mirrors are an absolutely necessity for you to get around safely. Mirrors need to have the appropriate size, shape and lighting to get the job done effectively. Not just any mirror can be strapped to the side of any vehicle and get the job done. So it is important to know exactly what you're looking for.

Dodge Ram 1500 Mirror Replacement

There are many reasons you might need to replace a side view mirror on your 1500. Car accidents, an act of vandalism, an automated car wash or even something as wild as a hail storm can easily take out a mirror. However, when replacing mirrors, you have to do so with care. U.S. federal motor vehicle standards require that side view mirrors have a curvature radius of anywhere from 889 mm to 1651 mm.

Dodge Ram 1500 Mirror Extensions

Often, as with any load-bearing vehicle, your 1500 might require some extra length when it comes to the mirror if you plan on hauling any fright with your truck. Mirror extensions or "towing mirrors" as they are sometimes called are necessary when pulling something behind your truck as standard factory mirrors may not always be large enough to see the entire load at once. Mirror extensions are designed to eliminate such blind spots by enabling more movement and adjustment of the mirror. As well, they set the mirror further away from the truck's body allow for more of the scene behind you to be seen in the reflection of the side view mirror.

How Much Does a Mirror Cost?

What you might end up pay for a new side view mirror can vary. Much of this has to do with how old your Ram 1500 is. If you're looking for something, let's say, in a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 mirror you could be looking at paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $24-$51 depending on what features the mirror has. However, if you're looking for a newer model, such as a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 mirror replacement, you'll be looking at more of an $80-$162 cost for replacement. However, this is just for the cost of the part, and while many people might feel comfortable taking care of this sort of non-invasive repair on their own, this is not for everyone. The price of mirror replacement will, of course, go up with added labor costs.
