OEM vs BOOST AUTO

To me, Boost Auto makes the better towing mirror. The finished look and interface is factory while adding features not available with OEM mirrors. You can buy them plane-jane for a plug and play swap, or loaded with features;

• paint to match, chrome, black

• forward and rear facing floods

• upper & lower defrost

• standard or sequential turn signals

• switchback running lights (amber turn signals, white running lights)

• blind-spot detection (only if factory equipped)

• and POWER FOLD

Adding the extra features does require pinning into the factory harness, but Boost Auto provides detailed feature-specific and vehicle-specific video installation instructions. The process looks intimidating, but it isn't difficult, just time consuming. The second mirror went much faster than the first. 

Watch the video below to see the removal of the factory mirrors on a 2020 GMC Sierra, and the installation of Tow Mirrors offered by Boost Auto. The process is the same for the 4th generation Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, and Escalade. 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.
