[QUOTE="MagicMtnDan, post: 156871, member: 2768"] Thanks for your kind words. I do disagree with you about having to "see your own vehicle" in the side view mirrors - it's just not necessary. If you're squeezing through a really tight spot perhaps then you'd benefit from seeing the back of the truck but only if you're turning once you've squeezed the front end in between the obstacles. And in those situations you're better off readjusting your mirrors for that moment and then returning them to position using the seat side button. By the way, if the mirrors are set properly you do NOT have to look over your shoulder. And that's the crux of the issue with resetting the side view mirrors for a wider view - it's UNCOMFORTABLE until you get used to it. But when you do you'll use your rearview mirror to see what's behind you and you'll use your side view mirrors to see if the lanes to either side of your Raptor are clear to move into. It's a whole new driving experience (and it's way better)! :waytogo: [/QUOTE]
