Tow with clearer vision, safer lane changes, and more confidence behind the wheel.
Clearview Towing Mirrors are full replacement extendable mirrors designed for 4WDs, utes, and tow vehicles. Slide them out when you’re towing a caravan, boat, trailer, or horse float. Slide them back in for everyday driving.
Built tough for Australian conditions, Clearview tow mirrors help you see past your load, reduce blind spots, and retain key factory mirror functions where compatible.
See More. Tow Safer. Drive with Confidence.
Standard factory mirrors are not designed to see around wide caravans, trailers, boats, or horse floats. When your load is wider than your vehicle, your rearward vision can be blocked, making lane changes, merging, reversing, and parking harder than they need to be.
Clearview Towing Mirrors are designed to give you a wider, clearer view down both sides of your vehicle and whatever you’re towing.
With Clearview, you can:
Built for Towing, Not Just Looking Good
Clearview mirrors extend outward to help you see past your caravan, trailer, boat, or horse float. When you’re not towing, they retract to a more practical everyday driving position.
Safer Lane Changes and Merging
Better side and rearward vision helps you judge traffic more clearly. You can see what’s beside you, what’s coming up behind you, and when it’s safer to move.
Full Replacement Design
Clearview Towing Mirrors replace your factory side mirrors. They are not clip-on mirrors. This gives you a stronger, cleaner, more stable solution for regular towing.
Made for Australian Conditions
From highways to corrugated tracks, Clearview mirrors are built to handle tough touring and towing environments across Australia.
Factory-Style Functionality Where Compatible
Clearview Compact and Next Gen Towing Mirrors are designed to retain key factory mirror features such as electric adjustment, indicators, heating, power fold, Blind Spot Monitoring, 360-degree camera provision, and more, depending on your vehicle.
ADR Approved and Legal Across Australia
Clearview Towing Mirrors are tested and approved to meet applicable Australian Design Rules, giving you confidence on roads in every state and territory.
Clearview offers three towing mirror ranges to suit different vehicles, towing needs, and preferences.
Best for everyday drivers who want a streamlined towing mirror
Compact Towing Mirrors are ideal if you want strong towing visibility in a smaller, more OEM-style design.
Choose Compact if you want:
Compact Towing Mirrors are a great choice if you tow regularly but still want a practical mirror for day-to-day driving.
Best for frequent towers who want Clearview’s flagship towing mirror
Next Gen Towing Mirrors are designed for drivers who want broad towing visibility and a premium mirror setup.
Choose Next Gen if you want:
Next Gen Towing Mirrors are a strong choice if you tow larger loads often and want maximum confidence when reversing.
Best for practical towing visibility and value
Classic Towing Mirrors offer a durable, proven Clearview design with the key towing essentials.
Choose Classic if you want:
Classic Towing Mirrors are a smart option if you want a tough, functional towing mirror at a more accessible price point.
If you want a streamlined mirror with strong visibility and everyday practicality, the Compact Towing Mirror is the clear choice.
If you tow large caravans and trailers often and want the broadest towing view with premium feature compatibility, Next Gen Towing Mirrors are worth considering.
If you want a simpler, more value-focused Clearview option with fewer feature choices, Classic Towing Mirrors may suit your needs.
Modern vehicles often include important technology in their side mirrors. Clearview’s towing mirrors work with compatible factory mirror features, helping you tow safely without losing the functions you rely on.
Depending on your vehicle, available features may include:
Important Feature Note
Mirror features depend on your vehicle’s make, model, series, variant, and year.
Clearview Towing Mirrors can only support compatible features your vehicle already has. They do not add new functions to a vehicle that did not have those features from factory.
For example, if your vehicle does not already have power folding mirrors, Clearview Power Fold Towing Mirrors will not add power fold functionality.
The double arm design of Clearview towing mirrors provides superior stability and adjustability. This innovative design minimises vibrations, even at high speeds or on rough terrains, ensuring that the driver has a clear and steady view at all times.
The added support from the dual arms also allows for larger mirror surfaces, which enhances visibility and safety when towing or manoeuvring large vehicles.
Clearview’s design remains the preferred choice for those seeking the utmost in mirror stability and reliability.
Tow Legally Across Australia
In Australia, you must have a clear view down both sides of your vehicle and whatever you’re towing. If your caravan, trailer, boat, or horse float is wider than your tow vehicle, standard mirrors may not provide enough rearward vision.
Clearview Towing Mirrors help you achieve the visibility needed for safer, more compliant towing.
ADR Approved
Clearview Towing Mirrors are tested and approved to meet applicable Australian Design Rules. They are legal in all Australian states and territories when fitted and used correctly.
For best compliance, Clearview Towing Mirrors should only be extended when towing. When not towing, return them to the retracted driving position. Mirrors will not add power fold functionality.
Clearview has been manufacturing premium extendable towing mirrors since 2006.
Every set is designed with strength, stability, and long-distance touring in mind. Clearview towing mirrors are built to perform on highways, regional roads, worksites, and rough Australian tracks.
Quality You Can Feel
Clearview Towing Mirrors are made with:
Final assembly takes place at Clearview’s Melbourne factory, where every set is inspected and tested before being shipped.
From Cape York to the Gibb River Road, Clearview mirrors are built for Australian towing conditions.
Why do I need towing mirrors?
You need towing mirrors when your caravan, trailer, boat, or horse float blocks your view down the sides and rear of your vehicle.
Clearview Towing Mirrors help you see past your load, reduce blind spots, and make lane changes, merging, reversing, and parking safer.
Are towing mirrors required by law in Australia?
Yes, if your load is wider than your vehicle and your standard mirrors do not give you clear rearward vision, you need suitable towing mirrors.
Clearview Towing Mirrors are designed to help you maintain the visibility required for safer, compliant towing.
Can I use a rear camera instead of towing mirrors?
No. A rear camera can help you see behind your caravan or trailer, but it does not replace the need to see down both sides of your vehicle and load.
Towing mirrors give you side and rearward visibility that cameras alone cannot provide.
Should I keep my factory mirrors?
Yes. We recommend keeping your original factory mirrors as a backup.
If your Clearview mirror ever needs repair, your factory mirrors can help keep your vehicle roadworthy while you wait.
How do I maintain Clearview Towing Mirrors?
Regular routine maintenance helps keep your mirrors operating smoothly and extends their life.
Follow the maintenance instructions provided with your mirrors, especially if you regularly drive in dust, mud, salt, rain, or off-road conditions.
Are Clearview Towing Mirrors clip-on mirrors?
No. Clearview Towing Mirrors are full replacement mirrors.
They replace your original factory side mirrors for a stronger, more stable, and more integrated towing solution.
Do Clearview Towing Mirrors extend and retract electrically?
No. Clearview Towing Mirrors extend and retract manually.
Power Fold, where available, refers to the mirror folding in toward the vehicle body and folding back out. It does not mean the towing extension is electric.
Will Clearview mirrors keep my factory features?
In many cases, yes. Clearview designs mirrors to retain compatible factory mirror features where available.
Feature compatibility depends on your vehicle’s make, model, series, variant, and year. Clearview mirrors do not add features your vehicle did not already have.
Which Clearview mirror range is best for me?
It depends on your vehicle and how you tow.
The best place to start is with your vehicle fitment.
Clearview Towing Mirrors give you the visibility, stability, and confidence you need when towing across Australia.
Whether you’re heading away with the caravan, launching the boat, moving a trailer, or transporting a horse float, Clearview helps you see more of what matters.

The existing positions of the mirror mounting holes on the doors of the LC79 vary as the standard mirrors are installed after the vehicle lands in Australia. When the factory mirror is removed, it leaves two holes in the side of the door panel. Our Clearview Towing Mirror base mounts onto these same holes, but due to their varying positions on individual vehicles, our mounting holes are elongated to allow for the variance. This can also mean that the overall position of the mirror on the door can be different by vehicle.
Toyota LandCruiser Troop Carriers are designed with vent windows (triangular windows). Clearview Towing Mirrors can be installed onto Troop Carriers, but due to the mounting position of the mirrors overlapping the glass, the vent windows will no longer be operational. New mounting holes will need to be drilled in the side of the door panels to support the mirror base.
Our unique, patented, secondary mount design for the 300 Series towing mirrors has accounted for the LC300’s lighter-weight Aluminium door skin and inadequate strength of the existing internal bracketry to safely mount extendable towing mirrors to.
Our complete redesign of the LandCruiser 300 Series side mirror mounting position allowed us to identify the optimum location for the new Towing Mirrors to be installed to provide the best visibility when in the extended towing position.
We needed to move the standard mounting point forward to make it easier to see out of while towing. If we’d simply reinforced the existing mounting point and installed our mirrors there, the driver would be constantly leaning backwards and turning their head to see anything out of the extended towing mirrors.
Extendable towing mirrors are important for a few reasons.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide whether or not you need extendable towing mirrors, but they can definitely be a worthwhile investment for anyone who frequently tows trailers or other large objects.
When looking for towing mirrors, there are a few key features to consider:
Clearview Towing Mirrors are a critical addition for any caravan, horse float, or boat owner. They ensure that you have the visibility needed to transport your precious cargo safely. However, brand new mirrors can be a significant investment.

The term Power Fold is a feature within a vehicle’s side mirror, which allows the side mirrors to electrically fold in towards the body of the vehicle, and electrically fold out.
The Power Folding functionality is useful when parking in tight spaces, protecting the mirrors from being clipped by passing vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians. It’s also great when 4WDing to get you out of a tight spot!
The mirror is designed to electrically fold towards the body of the vehicle and fold back out again when the vehicle is locked/unlocked via:
Power Fold Towing Mirrors on vehicles with proximity locking will also fold in when the vehicle automatically locks.
All vehicles are different and therefore the functionality of your new Clearview Power Fold Towing Mirrors will “mirror” the standard functionality of your original factory mirrors. Power Fold functionality is only available for vehicles with pre-existing factory electric folding mirrors. Clearview Mirrors cannot add functionality to a vehicle that didn’t have the functionality to start with. For specific information on your vehicle, refer to your Owner’s Manual.
*Options may vary depending on make, model and year of vehicle. Clearview Towing mirrors do not extend or retract electrically.
Whilst Clearview Power Fold Towing Mirrors are motorised, allowing them to fold or unfold at the press of a button, non-Power Fold Towing Mirrors are also available for most models.
