My first ever Ram pickup is my 2022. I was disappointed with the mirrors after having Ford's nice design. Not the end of the world but I always thought the ram mirrors were dorky looking when in the wide setting.

This change is a big improvement.

I wonder how many ponies the ‘23 Cummins regular output will have? In 2022 Ram Canada (Ramtrucks.ca) advertises 385 hp where as Ramtrucks.com indicates 370 hp.

I leave my 15 mirrors UP (ANTLERS) because the spot mirrors work best in that position. My 01 I have towing mirrors and the spots work the same up or down so I run down unless towing.

Personally I really like my 15 mirrors.

Big whoop! Too much SH!T on those that's NOT needed. Why the HE!! do I need to look at my center console to see what is right next to me??? Isn't that what a spot mirror is for??? Looks like the spot mirror is smaller than what I have side to side???

Another reason to keep my truck!

Interesting features in the mirrors. But the mirror themselves look kind of small? Fwiw, I’m happy with my mirrors in my 2012. Wish they would have powered food in feature, but the function of them when towing is very good.

Does it come with the ZF8 speed Grit has been promising?

I'm willing to bet the power extension feature will make these mirrors equivalent or maybe better than Fords mirrors with the LED forwards and reverse lights. I do agree with cummins that the spot mirrors could be larger so perhaps it's a tradeoff between spot mirror size and LED reverse lights.

I'm a bit disappointed Ram didn't include the 6.7 cummins gas variants this year.
