My vehicle: 2000 ck3500, crew cab, 4x4, duel rear wheels..,pulling a 29' travel trailer. The trooper is right, my mirrors don't even view beyond the rear fenders much less the trailer. My question is; how can the vehicle industry put a product on sale if it does not meet the requirements it was made to do? …”
