On Rockauto, I noticed they specify that the mirrors aren't heated, which of course implies that there's a version which *does* have heat. Not that I need heated mirrors, but why not right?
Of course the Ranger (to my knowledge) never had heated mirrors. The explorer, does, however.
I know the 01 and lower style expo mirrors will bolt onto a Ranger with no fuss, but because I'm difficult I must have 06 mirrors. I just like the profile more, that and the bigger mirror surface is nice too.
So, on a hunch, I looked at 2006 explorer mirrors. Well, how about that?
They look pretty much the same, and they can come with heated glass plus a puddle light.
Has anyone tried this? I thought about comparing part numbers, but even comparing non heated expo mirrors to non heated ranger mirrors is fruitless, because they're still different. Expo has puddle lights (which changes the number) and the Ranger doesn't.
