Nice, Looks good. Does this one not have the 802A or did they just not choose to have the mirrors fold in? I feel like the truck is wide enough where I will always want the mirrors folded in.

 

[EricM]

Mirrors are no wider on a Raptor than any other F150.

 

[Wolfeman]

I prefer to park far away from most other cars and really don't have much of a use for the auto folding mirrors. I can count on one hand how many times I've used them on my current truck.

 

[ROMILOWITZ]

Mirrors are no wider on a Raptor than any other F150.

Yeah, but isn't the truck itself six inches wider than a normal F-150?

Yes but that is all in the fender flares. The cab is the same size as any other F150. The mirrors are the widest part of the truck. That means that total width at the widest point, a Raptor and standard F150 are the same width.

 

[EricM]

Fenders, wheels, yea they are wider. Cab and mirrors are the same as any other F150. Mirrors are still the widest part of the truck, just like any other F150 as well. In fact, a standard F150 with tow mirrors is wider than a Raptor with it's smaller mirrors.

I only use the powerfold mirrors when I go through a tight drive thru or in a situation like the picture above, backed in with cars on either side. If it's pulled in forward, I don't fold them. If it's parked away from everyone else, as usual with my vehicles, I don't fold them.

 

[ROMILOWITZ]

I see. I wish they were auto powerfold, like in my Genesis. Then you don't have to worry about it, it does all the work for you. Mirrors fold as soon as you lock it and unfold as you approach the vehicle.

 

[EricM]

You must live down south. Auto fold is no good when there is ice and frozen slush all over the mirrors.

Vegas. Yeah, never thought of that. Not a concern here.
