Well, I've not settled yet on a ball mount, but I know I can get something that works almost on the spot if necessary.
Towing mirrors:
I hear from some that you should go OEM fit, and from other that the slide one or strap on are just fine. OEM fit is extremely expensive, and while it would improve visibility when not towing, I can still see well without blind spots when I'm not towing. OEM fit would offer better visibility for towing, but if the CIPA slide on effectively eliminates blind spots, I will probably go that route for now.
However, we also own a 2008 Explorer, and towing mirror selections are terrible for this vehicle! It's narrower than the Tahoe, so an effective mirror would have to extend further. Selections seem to be limited to strap on only. Not even a slide on, but that could be because of the wonky mirror housing shape. Those of you who tow with the 2006-2010 Explorers, what do you do for mirrors?
