Clearview Towing Mirrors - Gen 3 Mazda BT-50 TF 9/2020-on
One of the most important factors when it comes to road safety is the ability to see what’s going on around you and your vehicle. Standard mirrors often don’t provide the vision required when towing large objects, such as caravans, trailers and horse floats. Towing mirrors are required by law in Australia when towing anything wider than your vehicle.
If your side mirrors are ineffective with the trailer hitched up, Clearview Extendable Towing Mirrors provide the extra visibility required to see you safely to your destination.
Clearview Towing Mirrors aren’t just great for reversing, they also provide the extra visibility to be aware of vehicles coming up behind you, wanting to overtake.
Vehicles nowadays include an advanced level of technology which is often incorporated into their side mirrors. These features can include Outside Air Temperature (OAT) Sensors, GPS, AM-FM, Blindspot Monitoring Systems and 360-degree Cameras. Clearview Towing Mirrors account for these extra features, making your mirrors a quick, easy, and safe addition to your vehicle, without sacrificing any features.
Two Great Options
Clearview Towing Mirrors feature 2 different designs for your vehicle, allowing you to select the best mirror for your application.
Clearview Next Gen Mirrors
Clearview’s Next Generation Towing Mirrors feature a twin mirror design ideal for towing everything from small trailers to large vans. The large top mirror provides a true distance reflection, while the curved bottom mirror offers a wider field view, reducing blind spots. Easy to install, they use the original mirror fittings and wiring. When not extended, they are unobtrusive during daily commutes, extending 180mm when needed for better towing visibility and safety.
Equipped with advanced features like 360-degree camera provision, auto-tilting, memory adjustment, power-fold, and blind spot monitoring, Clearview’s Next Gen Mirrors enhance functionality and safety. The double arm design provides superior stability and minimizes vibrations, even at high speeds or on rough terrains, ensuring a clear, steady view, making them the preferred choice for reliable and stable towing mirrors.
- Mirror driving position comparable to OEM mirrors
- Telescopic 2-stage extension provides 3 towing positions to choose from, and won’t retract when driving at high speeds or when passing large trucks.
- Extends up to 180mm for towing
- Large top mirror 1:1 ratio. This large, flat mirror provides a narrower field of view, reflecting true distance for reversing. It provides an exact reflection of what’s happening behind you.
- Smaller bottom mirror. This slightly curved mirror makes objects appear further away than they are. The convex mirror reduces the objects that it reflects, allowing the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishing blind spots. This mirror provides a better understanding of what’s happening around the vehicle.
- Choice of black, chrome and raw finish which can be painted to any colour to match your vehicle (Done at any third party auto painting service)
- Due to their double mirror design, Next Gen's are recommended for all your towing needs.
- Replacement convex glass is also available to purchase for those who prefer the convex vision over the 1:1 vision.
- ADR Compliant – Legal Australia Wide!
- Built in Australia
Clearview Compact Mirrors
Clearview Compact Towing Mirrors are just like a factory mirror with a large single convex mirror, and the additional advantage of the extra visibility that Clearview’s towing mirror extension provides. Featuring a large convex mirror that reduces objects in reflection, providing a wider field view and reducing blind spots. These mirrors are true replacements, using the original mirror fittings and wiring for easy plug & play installation. Unobtrusive during daily commutes, they extend 180mm for better visibility when towing, making them ideal for vehicles with canopies, trailers, caravans, boats, and horse floats.
Clearview’s Compact Mirrors integrate advanced features like OAT sensors, GPS, AM-FM radio, blind spot monitoring, and 360-degree cameras, ensuring these technologies are retained in towing mirrors. The double arm design provides superior stability and reduces vibrations, offering a clear view even at high speeds or on rough terrains. These features make Clearview Mirrors the preferred choice for those seeking reliable and safe towing solutions.
- Mirror size and driving position comparable to OEM mirrors
- Telescopic 2-stage extension provides 2 towing positions to choose from, and won’t retract when driving at high speeds or when passing large trucks.
- Large convex single mirror reduces the objects that it reflects, allowing the driver to have a much wider field view and diminishing blind spots.

- Choice of black, chrome and raw finish which can be painted to any colour to match your vehicle (Done at any third party auto painting service)

Clearview Mirror Features
Clearview Towing Mirrors have a number of features available for them. Ensure you select the correct features to suit your vehicle's factory mirror heads. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our helpful team.
These features listed are all of the features available in all Clearview Mirrors. Your vehicle or mirror application may not have these available, ensure you refer to the drop-down box titled "Mirror Features" to know what features your mirrors will have.
Important: Towing mirror features are only available for vehicles with those pre-existing features as standard (ie heat, powerfold, BSM etc) – the mirror alone cannot add new functionality to the vehicle.

Blind Spot Monitoring

Electric Adjustment
Clearview Mirrors support vertical and horizontal adjustment of the mirror glass to suit your preferred viewing angles. The single mirror model (Clearview Compact) offers electric adjustment of the mirror and the double mirror models (Clearview Next Gen & Original) allow for the larger top mirror to be electrically adjusted. The bottom mirror on Clearview Next Gen & Original is manually adjusted.

Only available for vehicles with pre-existing indicator feature. *Options may vary depending on make, model and year of vehicle.
OAT Sensor
An Outside Ambient Temperature (OAT) sensor can be found in some mirrors to monitor air temperature. This information is transmitted to the car’s computer, which controls the heating and cooling based on your preferred interior temperature. *Options may vary depending on make, model and year of vehicle.
Heated Glass
Demists and defogs glass on the mirror in frosty, icy weather, working off the same de-mist system as the vehicle. Frost and ice will melt away from glass when turned on. Only available for vehicles with pre-existing heated glass feature. *Options may vary depending on make, model and year of vehicle.
CAT 6 Indicator option
The Clearview CAT-6 LED Indicator is designed to meet the requirements of ADR 6/00. A CAT-6 Indicator is an optional fitment on all ‘Off Road Passenger Vehicles’ (MC Category) and most ‘Light Goods Vehicles’ (NA Category) but is a mandatory requirement on Light Goods Vehicles over 6.0m in length and all Medium Goods Vehicles with GVM between 3.5t and 4.5t. (Category NB-1). Note: The Clearview CAT-6 Indicator should only be used as the “Sole Side Indicator” on a vehicle, when the vehicle dimensions enable positioning of the Indicator, when fitted to a Clearview Towing Mirror, within the dimensions as prescribed by ADR 13/00 Appendix A Clause 6.5.4 – Installation of Light Signaling Devices – Position. For some Medium Goods Vehicles this may not be possible for the 'prescribed distance from the front of the vehicle to the Indicator (Clause 6.5.4.3)', due to the reduction in maximum allowable distance, from 2500mm to 1800mm.
Colour Options
Clearview Next Gen, and Clearview Compact are available in a Black, Chrome, or Raw Finish
*Please note that mirror features specified in the Mirror Features Options Drop Down are the only features included in the mirror. Any features not specified are not included in the Towing Mirror. Please compare our listed features with your standard vehicle mirror to understand what features you may be missing in your new Clearview mirror. If Powerfold, Camera or auto reverse-dip functionality is not specified in our mirror description, then we do not have it available for your model at this time.
Towing mirror features are only available for vehicles with those pre-existing features as standard (ie heat, powerfold, BSM etc) – the mirror alone cannot add new functionality to the vehicle.
To remain ADR compliant, if your standard mirrors have Indicators or Blind Spot Monitoring functionality in them, then your towing mirrors also need to have these features.
Clearview Towing mirrors do not extend or retract electrically.
