Default Replacement Towing Mirrors

I am wanting to upgrade my mirrors to telescoping for towing. I can't seem to find any...what gives? I've had many Suburban's and never any had trouble finding them before.

Make/model/year?

1aauto has just about every type you can imagine. Here are my 2 trucks, both upgraded with 1aauto towing mirrors.

I actually checked there before posting this.
Those (the ones like your picture) won't fit a 2017 Suburban...trust me, I found that out the hard way after disassembling my door. And now I have to pay to ship them back.
I think what's going on is that the new body style sub/tahoe doors are different than the pickups. They used to be the same, but my new one has a smaller, 3 bolt pattern on the mirrors.

Well, you could've started by saying you had a 2017 Burb. :-/

Since the Suburbans are the same platform as the fullsize pickups, I'd expect that they have the same bolt pattern and wiring. Look for towing mirrors for the K2XX Silverado/Sierra trucks.

If it was me, I'd probably start at the dealership parts counter. Ask the guy if the Silverado towing mirrors would fit on the Burbs.
