    Default Power mirrors & windows

    Since most of the trucks that I see have regular / manual mirrors, I often wonder if it's possible to have them changed to power & heated mirrors, with power windows.....any opinions ?

    Most of them have power windows and mirrors. They are a lifesaver at night time especially when backing into a dock especially one that is inside a building.

    What does that have to do with anything? I'm just saying they are a lifesaver cause they reduce the glare in your mirror especially at night.

    Most trucks have POWER MIRRORS on the Passenger side Big DIsel Dummy. Even in the late 90's they were doing it that way. I had power windows even on my fleet trucks at Henderson.

    Heated, mirrors are a "must"

    We just got a Chinook, - 25 in the valleys, -2 on top of the hills...

    Power mirrors are a nice thing, I have them, but seldom need them...

    If you get into a tight spot with a train, it's nice to just toggle the mirror...

    After awhile, you just "know" where it's at :wink:

    Just drive the "truck" Grey, it will follow...

    I guess my question wasn't quite framed appropriately. It should have read : I'm curious to know if power / heated mirrors & power windows can be fitted out in a truck that doesn't have the convenience.

    My truck has them....I simply would like to know whether those that don't can have them.

    Thanks in advance.

    you can have anything done if you got the $$$$$$
    Truck Driving an occupation consisting of hours of boredom interrupted by sheer terror!!
