Cascadia mirrors

We have them on all of our Cascadia's, I don't have them on my Pete but I do have "peep" windows in the doors, If no peep windows, I would want fender mirrors, to #### many small cars buzzing around you on the right.

 

I have them on mine and use them constantly. My previous truck did not have them so I am familiar with both elements. They do make life easier.

 

I use mine all the time. Too many small cars now that can and do hide between the coverage area of the convex bottom mirror and the front tire on the blind side. Saved my ### more than a couple of times. Adjust them right and you get almost full coverage down the side

 

The Crapcadia has the worst mirrors in the business. All six mirrors on the Crapcadia suck. I have larger mirrors on my pickup.

The fender mirrors are a huge safety benefit. I don't care if someone thinks they look ugly, I am driving a truck to make money not to impress anyone. That said, the factory Crapcadia mirrors are better than nothing but still worse than the ugly universal mirrors some put on trucks. The factory Crapcadia fender mirrors give you good view of the hood, fender, and a couple of feet beside the fender. That is the problem, I don't need to know what my fender and hood looks like, I like to be able to adjust the fender mirror so I can see all along the whole truck. You cannot do that with the crapcadia factory fender mirror.

You can also adjust the mirror on other trucks to the edge of the truck and use it as a bumper indicator. This will let you reference where the fender bumper are when maneuvering in tight spots.

The door mirrors are just the worst on any truck and one of the prime reasons I hate the Crapcadia.

 

Not sure what deck work has to do with whether or not you would want those mirrors.

I think they're great. I can see a lot more than just the hood and fender. Maybe the ones on Toomanybikes truck were somehow not mounted properly. I would ask for them if I were you.

 

I have driven several Crapcadia, and I am talking about the factory crapcadia fender mirrors. Those are severely lacking in their field of vision. If you turn them out to capture more than a few feet off your fender the mirror bezel casts a shadow on the mirror and reduces your view. It is just a crapy design like the rest of the truck.

The universal, either the tripod or the bracket mounted ones, are much better than factory Crapcadia and much more adjustable. I would ask for them. It is your license and if you get in a accident you get to explain it for the rest of you career not your bosses.
