I LIKE! Hope they make a plain set for my STX with a good price point!
What do the inside controls look like?
What about the passenger side?
Pics please if you get a chance!

They're made to swap out with your stock mirrors, so whatever controls you have already is what would control them.

I'll post more pics shortly.

I will get a set the day they become available. Add on mirrors for towing a travel trailer are limited to those silly, next to useless clamp on/strap on type. If, like me, you are used to a good tow mirror, these will be the way to go.
Showed the web site to the wife, who is also adept at towing. Didn't even blink at the price...she said, "Get Em".

Snapped a bunch of pictures in various states of extended/normal, folded/unfolded, left/right... Hope this helps. Took a video as well, to show the lights, will try to post that next.

YESSSSS !!!

Managed to get the video in with minimal trimming - surprised myself with that one

The white one pulling the trailer? That's the "original" design, they do have that for the Ranger. No guarantees what all versions they're planning to stock here in the states, but if you go to the Aussie website they have 3 different versions: Original, NextGen, and Compact.

Hope they offer the same range of options in the states...?

I don't see why they wouldn't - if they're already sending stuff on a ship/plane, they might as well do a variety of options if there's a chance they can sell em. If you look around on the Aussie website, they have a PDF that compares the Original and NextGen versions with dimensions, and they also have a tab for the Compact version (basically, an extendable version of a normal shaped/sized mirror) but no PDFs with dimensions posted on the website yet.

Would have to see how it looks on the vehicle from afar. Would be super useful for when I have to tow!

When they become available, I will buy. I held off until BLISS was included. I’ve seen them some places for international shipping, but without the electrical connections. What I have works well, but is clunky and a hassle to install and adjust all of the time.

plus I have a blind spot attached to each side and neoprene seat belt covers between the straps and the paint. It works, but …………

I hate the strap to factory style mirror extensions.

I tow this 4700lbs a lot. Tows great.

Have you gotten up to speed on expressways with them fully extended to see if the wind affects them in any way? I know that with mirror extensions on the Ranger, if you get past a certain speed, the wind will push the mirrors in towards the door due to the mirror motor not being able to handle the wind pressure

Sign up to be notified when they're in stock (still anticipate Feb 2022)

They are certainly nice. I don't need them at the moment, but if you tow a lot they look like the ticket.

Here is a question. Have an XLT with BLIS, but I am pretty sure I don't have turn signal indicators. Does anyone yet know if that will be a problem? will I suddenly get working mirror signal indicators? or will they just not function?

The most likely scenario is that they simply will not function due to lack of wiring in your truck's mirror harness. On my 2013 F150 I was able to swap heated mirrors with blinkers and puddle lamps and they just worked (once I added the button for the mirrors), but as I understand it the Ranger tends to "right size" the harness so that all of the "extra" features won't work without adding new wires.
