Clearview Towing Mirrors Review – Are They Worth It for Towing?
If you tow a caravan, camper trailer, horse float or boat, having the right towing mirrors isn't just about convenience—it can also be a legal requirement in Australia when what you're towing is wider than your vehicle. In this review, we take a closer look at Clearview Towing Mirrors to see why they've become one of Australia's most trusted towing mirror upgrades. From improved visibility and stable highway performance to factory-style integration and Australian-made quality, here's what makes Clearview stand out.
Choosing the Right Clearview Mirror
Clearview offers three towing mirror styles to suit different towing requirements and personal preferences.
Clearview Compact
Perfect for drivers who prefer a factory-style appearance while still gaining the additional extension needed for safer towing.
Clearview Next Gen
The most popular option, featuring a dual mirror design that provides multiple viewing angles and excellent visibility when towing caravans, camper trailers and boats.
Clearview Classic
The largest mirror in the range, offering maximum visibility for larger caravans, horse floats and heavy trailers.
Real-World Performance
One of the biggest differences we noticed was the improvement in visibility once the mirrors were fully extended. Standard factory mirrors often struggle to provide a clear view past wider caravans or trailers, making lane changes and reversing more difficult. Clearview mirrors extend far enough to restore rearward visibility while remaining stable at highway speeds thanks to their reinforced arm design. The result is a clearer, more confident towing experience with significantly less vibration than many aftermarket alternatives.
