At work tonight I was in a truck with no heated mirrors, and it didn't take long for the freezing mist to ice them over. I want to get my cdl soon and drive for real, not in a parking lot, and I'm curious if newer trucks have them as standard equipment.
Are heated mirrors a standard on tractors?

Most highway trucks I ever drove had them. City trucks, not so much.
QuietStorm Thanks this. -
The only thing standard is one of them usually don't work

LOL. You know, it's the darndest thing. I've driven trucks just few years old, and they didn't work, and I recently drove an old Pete cabover as a yard horse, and guess what worked.

Not only are my door mirrors heated (both sides, and both convex mirrors) but my hood mirrors are heated as well...but my seat isn't, and my sensitive fanny gets cold
mud23609, Zeviander and spyder7723 Thank this. -
It's a option on trks when ordering

My next truck is getting heated floor boards. I got heated mirrors and heated seats. But nothing sucks more than getting out of the nice toasty warm bed and putting your feet on an ice cold floor at 4 am.

Heck even the old yard dog I drove at my last job had heated mirrors. Didn't work of course, but it had them lol.

Don't forget heated wiper blades. I thought of that years ago. Now I see them advertised. #### good idea

Or some sort of "popper" to knock ice off.Ruthless Thanks this.
