Clearview Towing Mirrors - Suits Toyota Prado 120 Series 2003-2009
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.
Three Great Options
Clearview Towing Mirrors feature 3 different designs for your vehicle, allowing you to select the best mirror for your application.
Clearview Original Mirrors
Clearview Towing Mirrors ensure full visibility of your vehicle and towed items, such as caravans, trailers, or horse floats, enhancing safety while towing, changing lanes, or reversing. Designed to comply with legal requirements for towing mirrors when towing wider loads, these mirrors are built tough for Australian conditions, from Cape York’s Telegraph Track to the Gibb River Road. Clearview mirrors are the top choice for reliably viewing caravans, boats, or trailers, featuring a large single mirror above a smaller convex mirror for serious towing.
- Telescopic arms with 2 different driving positions, Normal Driving Position and Extended towing position.
- Sturdy steel arm construction won’t retract when driving at high speeds or when passing large trucks.
- Very 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.
- Extends up to 103mm for towing
- ADR Compliant – Legal Australia Wide!
- Built in Australia
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.

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.

These features make Clearview Mirrors the preferred choice for those seeking reliable and safe towing solutions.
