Description

MSA 4X4’s patented, SEMA award-winning Towing Mirrors feature a large single mirror that pivots on a heavy-duty extension slide. Allowing the mirror to extend out when towing and return to a normal driving position, when not towing.

Government guidelines state that the driver is required to see 20m past the widest point of the towed vehicle. MSA 4X4 has created a range of Towing Mirrors that meet this guideline and are specifically designed for Australian towing vehicles.

The mirror is the subject of Chinese utility model No. 201721652844.X and international patent application No. PCT/AU2017/051320, as well as corresponding patents and patent applications in Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The mirror is also the subject of international patent application No. PCT/AU2020/050810, as well as corresponding patents and patent applications in Australia, Canada, China, Europe, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States of America. The shape of the mirror is protected by Australian design registration No. 201715134 and Chinese design registration No. 201830077185.5.

FAQS

GENERAL

What are MSA 4X4 Towing Mirrors?

MSA 4X4 Towing Mirrors are vehicle-specific replacement mirrors designed to give you better vision when towing a caravan, camper trailer, boat, or horse float. The larger lens cuts down blind spots and reduces vibration, giving you a steadier view of what's behind you. They mount to your vehicle door in the same position as your factory mirrors, using the existing mounting points.

Will they fit my vehicle?

We make towing mirrors to suit a wide range of popular Australian touring rigs. Current applications include the Toyota LandCruiser 70/76/78/79/80/100/200/300 Series, Prado 120/150/250, HiLux N70 and N80, Fortuner, Ford Ranger (including PY Super Duty), Everest, Mazda BT-50, Isuzu D-MAX and MU-X, Nissan Patrol Y62 and GU/Y61, Navara D23 and NP300, Mitsubishi Triton, Pajero and Pajero Sport, Holden Colorado, Jeep Grand Cherokee, RAM 1500, and VW Amarok. Use the vehicle filter on the towing mirrors category page to confirm fitment for your make, model, and year.

Are MSA 4X4 Towing Mirrors ADR compliant?

Yes. The MSA 4X4 Towing Mirror range is ADR compliant, so you can fit them with confidence and pass roadworthy inspections.

What's the warranty?

MSA 4X4 Towing Mirrors are backed by a 5-year warranty. (Note: this is different to MSA 4X4's Lifetime Guarantee, which applies to most other products in the range. Mirrors and Power Panels are excluded from the Lifetime Guarantee due to their electrical components.)

Do they come in black or chrome?

Both. Most models are available in black or chrome to match your vehicle's existing trim.

Do I need to install them permanently, or can I swap them back to factory?

Most owners leave them on year-round because of the better visibility they offer day to day, but yes, they can be removed and your factory mirrors refitted at any time.

FITMENT, FEATURES AND INSTALL

How do MSA towing mirrors connect to my vehicle?

They're pre-wired to plug directly into your vehicle's existing harness, in place of the OE mirror. No splicing, no aftermarket wiring kits in most cases. Plug in, mount up, adjust.

Will the mirrors fold automatically if I bump them?

Most factory features carry across, including electric adjustment, heating, indicators, blind spot monitoring, puddle lights, memory, and camera provision. Important caveat: an MSA 4X4 Towing Mirror can only deliver features that already exist in your standard OE mirrors. For example, if your factory mirrors don't have blind spot monitoring or indicators, an MSA mirror with those features won't activate them. Match the MSA model to your factory mirror feature set to get the right fit.

How do I work out which model suits my vehicle?

First, identify your vehicle's make, model, series, and build date. Then check what features your current OE mirrors have (electric, heated, indicators, blind spot monitoring, etc.). Match those features to the equivalent MSA part number on the product page. If you're not sure, contact our team or your local MSA stockist before ordering.

Can I install them myself?

Many touring owners do fit them at home with basic hand tools, particularly on simpler models. For mirrors with more electronics (blind spot monitoring, camera provision, memory function), we'd recommend a qualified auto electrician or your local 4WD fitter to make sure everything is calibrated correctly.

Is there anything I should know before drilling or modifying?

For most vehicles, no drilling or cutting is required. The mirrors mount onto the existing factory location. For 70-79 Series LandCruisers and a small number of other applications, a switch kit or specific mounting consideration may apply. Check the product page notes for your specific vehicle before installing.

MSA POWER FOLD™ TOWING MIRRORS

What is the MSA POWER FOLD™ Towing Mirror?

MSA POWER FOLD™ Towing Mirrors are the patented version of our towing mirror range, with electric folding built in. Press a button and the mirrors fold inwards or outwards. Useful for tight carparks, narrow tracks, and getting through gates without snapping a mirror off.

What's the difference between a standard MSA Towing Mirror and an MSA POWER FOLD™ model?

Both share the same large single lens, vehicle-specific fit, and pre-wired plug-and-play install. The MSA POWER FOLD™ adds an electric fold function, allowing you to retract the mirrors at the press of a button. Power Fold models also typically include more advanced features as standard, such as heating, indicators, and blind spot monitoring on supported vehicles.

Will the mirrors fold automatically if I bump them?

Yes. The MSA POWER FOLD™ Towing Mirrors are designed to fold inwards or outwards if they're knocked, whether that's a tree branch on a tight track or a shopping trolley in a carpark. That movement helps prevent damage to the mirror and the vehicle.

Can I still adjust the mirror manually when towing?

Yes. The mirror adjusts to four solid positions, including a horizontal towing mode. When you rotate the mirror into towing position, the actuator adapts automatically so you can still fine-tune your view (up, down, side to side) using your vehicle's standard mirror controls. That covers drivers of different heights and seating positions without any extra hassle

Note on Memory and Auto-tilt:

On vehicles with these features, the memory and auto-tilt functions don't work correctly once the mirror head is rotated into the extended towing position. This is a physical limitation of the OE setup, not the mirror itself.

What are MSA POWER FOLD™ Towing Mirrors made of?

Die-cast aluminium body and injection-moulded components, designed to handle Australian touring conditions, dust, vibration, and the occasional bump.

Are they more expensive than standard towing mirrors?

Yes. Power Fold models are a step up in features and price, reflecting the actuators, additional wiring, and extra functions. Most owners who tow regularly or use their vehicle as a daily driver find the Power Fold convenience worth it. If you tow occasionally and don't need the fold function, the standard MSA Towing Mirror range is the better value option.

TOWING AND USE

Do I really need towing mirrors?

If your van, trailer, or boat is wider than your tow vehicle, yes. Australian road rules require you to have a clear view down both sides of your trailer, and standard mirrors often don't cut it on anything wider than the tow vehicle itself. Towing mirrors give you that view legally and safely.

What can I tow with these mirrors fitted?

Caravans, camper trailers, boats, horse floats, and box trailers, anything where the load is wider than your tow vehicle. The mirrors don't change your vehicle's tow rating, that comes from the vehicle and tow bar. The mirrors give you the visibility to do the job safely.

Will they vibrate at highway speed?

The larger single lens and reinforced housing are designed to reduce vibration compared to factory mirrors and clip-on extensions. You'll get a steadier view, particularly on corrugated dirt roads and at highway speed with a load behind you.

Do they affect my vehicle's blind spot monitoring or camera systems?

On supported models, MSA towing mirrors retain the factory blind spot monitoring and camera provision functions. Make sure you select the correct MSA part number that matches your factory mirror feature set so those systems carry across properly.
