Clearview Towing Mirrors

We previously used a set of these mirrors on our Nissan Patrol. After hearing that Clearview Towing Mirrors had just introduced a new set for the Toyota Landcruiser 70-79 series, we ordered a pair. When you hook up your caravan, all you need to do is pull the mirror head outwards. The mirror extends by another 100mm, allowing you to see clearly down the side of the van. The mirrors are much larger than the standard ones and provide much clearer vision for safer towing. They are built robustly for Australian conditions and will not vibrate when travelling at highway speeds or when overtaken by road trains.


On the Landcruiser 79 series, the Clearview mirrors utilise the existing mirror holes, but on the 76 series, additional bottom holes need to be drilled.

  1. They are great mirrors Ross. I would be curious to see a close up photo of how they are attached to the door. Also, what's in that alloy box(es) behind the cab?

    1. Stephen,

      Have added another photo showing more detail. The alloy directly behind the cab are not boxes but in fact alloy stone guards for the front of the canopy.

    2. Thanks for that extra photo Ross. That is very clever.
