Clearview® Compact Towing Mirrors

Small in Size, Big in Vision.

Clearview® Compact Towing Mirrors

Small in Size, Big in Vision

The Clearview® Compact Mirror is our newest towing mirror design.

Telescopic 2-stage extension provides 3 towing positions to choose from, allowing you to see down the side of your van when towing and won’t retract when driving at high speeds or when passing large trucks.

A large convex single mirror diminishes objects it reflects, allowing the driver to have a wide field similar to an OEM mirror, making it perfect for smaller vehicles with service bodies.

For the newest Toyota MY24 LC76, LC78 & LC79 Series, our special edition Clearview Compact Towing Mirrors ensure compliance with ADR standards. Featuring a single, flat mirror on the driver’s side, and a single convex mirror on the passenger’s side, these mirrors maintain their good looks whilst complying with the ADRs.

Single mirror models are recommended for vehicles with large canopies or for towing smaller vans. Clearview Compact models are still suitable (and popular) for towing 20ft vans, but will not offer the equivalent visibility that our Next Gen mirrors offer.

This is the mirror for you if you want a sleek, compact style while still ensuring wide visibility and safety.

Included Features

*Please note that mirror features specified in the above mirror descriptions are the only features included in the mirror. Any features not specified are not included in the Towing Mirror. Please compare our listed features with your standard vehicle mirror to understand what features you may be missing in your new Clearview mirror. If Powerfold, Camera or auto reverse-dip functionality is not specified in our mirror description, then we do not have it available for your model at this time.

Towing mirror features are only available for vehicles with those pre-existing features as standard (ie heat, powerfold, BSM etc) – the mirror alone cannot add new functionality to the vehicle.

To remain ADR compliant, if your standard mirrors have Indicators or Blind Spot Monitoring functionality in them, then your towing mirrors also need to have these features.

Clearview Towing mirrors do not extend or retract electrically.

CAT 6 Indicator option

The Clearview CAT-6 LED Indicator is designed to meet the requirements of ADR 6/00. A CAT-6 Indicator is an optional fitment on all ‘Off Road Passenger Vehicles’ (MC Category) and most ‘Light Goods Vehicles’ (NA Category) but is a mandatory requirement on Light Goods Vehicles over 6.0m in length and all Medium Goods Vehicles with GVM between 3.5t and 4.5t. (Category NB-1). Note: The Clearview CAT-6 Indicator should only be used as the “Sole Side Indicator” on a vehicle, when the vehicle dimensions enable positioning of the Indicator, when fitted to a Clearview Towing Mirror, within the dimensions as prescribed by ADR 13/00 Appendix A Clause 6.5.4 – Installation of Light Signaling Devices – Position. For some Medium Goods Vehicles this may not be possible for the 'prescribed distance from the front of the vehicle to the Indicator (Clause 6.5.4.3)', due to the reduction in maximum allowable distance, from 2500mm to 1800mm.

All Clearview Compact Towing Mirrors are available in a choice of black, chrome* and raw finish.

Chrome*

Raw

*Amarok 2H 2009 – 2022 models not available in Chrome due to its effect on radio reception

Raw finishes can be painted to any colour by a third-party automotive paint shop at an additional cost.

The importance of clear, unobstructed vision when on or off road cannot be overstated - especially when it comes to towing.

Whether you’re a seasoned road-tripper, a caravanner, or a hardworking tradie, Clearview Towing Mirrors transcend mere accessories to become an essential component of vehicular safety.

Standard side mirrors often fall short when it comes to providing adequate vision around your vehicle when towing wide loads or with a large canopy installed. The last thing any driver wants is limited visibility, which is where Clearview Extendable Mirrors make the difference. These aren’t just ordinary mirrors – they’re engineered to provide extended vision, essential for safe towing and reversing, but also offer a greater awareness of your surroundings, a crucial aspect for overtaking. In Australia, good rear visibility isn’t just about convenience – it’s a matter of safety and a legal requirement which mandates towing mirrors for anything that exceeds the width of your vehicle.

Tow with Confidence

Seamless integration, extended visibility, and cutting-edge technology – Clearview Towing Mirrors are your ultimate partner in safety and convenience on the road. With each adventure you undertake, gain peace of mind knowing that the best towing mirrors accompany you. Clearview mirrors reflect the future of towing – one that is safer, smarter, and suited to modern demands.

Towing has never been clearer, and the road ahead never looked better.

Why are Clearview Mirrors the Best Towing Mirrors?

When it comes to choosing the best mirrors for your vehicle, particularly for off-road and towing purposes, Clearview towing mirrors remain the most popular options on the market. What sets Clearview mirrors apart and why are they the better choice?

Don't sell your factory mirrors!

We recommend that you keep your original factory mirrors as back up should something happen to one of your Clearview Mirrors, necessitating the need to return it to us for repairs.

This will allow your vehicle to remain roadworthy whilst waiting on your repaired Clearview mirror.

Regular routine maintenance will help to ensure continued smooth operation and longevity of your Clearview Towing Mirrors.

Maintenance information can also be found in the Installation Instructions booklet provided with the towing mirrors.
