In this episode we run through all the important considerations in regards to tow mirrors as we test the new KSource Snap & Zap mirrors for the Next Gen Ranger against out Milenco Grand Aero 4 tow mirrors.
We run you through the Australian Design Rule requirements, how to measure and plot out the required field of vision to text our compact mirrors to see if they will actually work and comply. We also list out the different mirrors available, including pro's and con's to help you out if you are looking to tow a caravan, camper trailer, horse float or any large trailer.
Don't forget our episodes are broken into chapters, we have included timestamps below.
Also to help you out, here are some links to the ADR requirements as well as all the mirrors we run through in this episode.
