EMUK towing mirrors

[Andy Norfolk]

Does anyone use EMUK towing mirrors? The strap on ones we are currently using on our Ford Ranger aren't great and move whilst towing. The EMUK ones are not cheap but they look solid.

Wondered if they are worth the money at around £120 a pair. TIA.

Have a look at milenco ones.

I have and currently use a pair. They aren't great on the Ranger wing mirrors. Hence looking at the EMUK ones.

Check out the dedicated foot clamping pads for your Ford Ranger. For the Milenco Grand mirrors.

I changed from Milenco Grand Aero to EMUK for the Sportage last year. Unbelievable improvement. No vibration, a much more certain mount and the best view I've ever had. Well worth the money IMHO

We have never had an issue with Milenco Grand Aero vibrating on any of our tow cars which has included Ford, Toyota and Jeep? I wonder why there is vibration on some cars and not others?

Thanks for that. I've just ordered them.

Since Milenco and EMUK mirrors both fit onto the door mirror casings, any vibration in the casings themselves will be transmitted to the towing mirrors.

Another vote for Milenco mirrors

2023 GT Line S 2wd HEV 227bhp, Max braked trailer weight 1650kg... beware the max trailer weight is reduced on later models. Mine tows Bailey UnicornV Cabrera(1600kg MTPLM) very well

Disagree. The Milenco's clamp to the thin outer casing of the car mirror. The EMUK have a custom wraparound casting which uses the whole mirror body not just the thin plastic outer casing.

Ours clamped onto the outer casing at the top and the mold on the inside. Probably why no vibration issues?

Not heard of EMUK, but can speak on the Milenco vibration.

I've got a pair of Milenco Grand Aero mirrors which are great on my Volvo's door mirrors. Yes, they bounce a bit, but they are on the end of an arm. However, I kept my Aero 3's I'd bought first, as spares; had cause to use them last year for the first time in years. but they bounce and vibrate like the proverbial, and are annoying to use. Will keep them for emergency use only.
