VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
MY FORD F250 IS EQUIPPED WITH A TOWING PACKAGE TO TOW A FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. THE TOWING MIRROR IS MY COMPLAINT. THERE IS A LARGE MIRROR ON TOP AND A SMALLER PARABOLIC MIRROR ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MIRROR FRAME. THE UPPER MIRROR IS ADJUSTABLE, BUT THE PARABOLIC MIRROR IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING OUT OF IT EXCEPT FOR THE REAR TIRES OF THE PICKUP AND THE GROUND. IF I WERE ABOUT 5 FEET TALL IT WOULD WORK GREAT, BUT I AM 6'1'' AND CANNOT SEE ANYTHING OUT OF IT THAT WILL HELP ME SEE THE TRAILER OR THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER, THE FORD DEALERS IN TUCSON, AZ AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAVE GOTTEN NO SATISFACTORY ANSWER. THE MIRROR NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTABLE FOR PERSONS OF DIFFERENT HEIGHTS. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO AT THIS TIME TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION.
