Hey All,

This has probably been answered somewhere but I'm not seeing it. I recently bought a 2019 Tahoe and am loving it. The only issue I have is moving from my 2013 silverado to the tahoe is the drastic size difference of the side mirrors. I was wondering if anybody knew of a good replacement that increased the size of the mirrors without going full towing mirrors. I'm hoping to keep the sleak blacked out look of my tahoe without going too big in the mirrors.

Thanks for any help!

Esky mirrors are the way to go. I’ve had it on both my 16 and my current 17.

Plenty to choose from. Make sure your current options are available on the Esky. Ie puddle, heat, blind spot, signal.
Just realized you were saying Escalade, and not some brand of mirror called Esky.... now I get it :D

So all I need to do is look at the escalade mirrors from the same year (which is in your link) and make sure I'm not losing any features? I'm driving the LS so the only feature I currently have is the blind spot bubble. Nothing fancy.

Been looking into this as well. Considering throwing a set on my '15 Yukon XL Denali.

Question: If K2XX Escalade mirrors with side cameras are purchased and installed on a K2XX Denali or K2XX Tahoe/Burb LTZ is there a way to "activate" them and add the function to a non-Escalade vehicle?

I'm asking because all of the K2XX Escalade mirrors that have blind spot alert, heated, and power folding also have the cameras on them. Was just curious if anyone has figured out way to make that feature usable.

Whatever functions you have will work on the new mirrors; anything new will need coding and or parts. On my LT I didn't have fold and mirror memory but changing the passenger window switch enabled them both without coding (but I would need to add a wire for puddle lamps while blind spot monitoring requires a radar). The mirrors are worth it for the size increase alone, and are one of the 'must do' mods for this gen...

So far, no one has been able to use the camera feature with them on a Tahoe. It may be possible, but you will need a Tahoe upgrade ands extensive upgrades to cabling/configuration to get all pics to play nice.
The size alone is well worth the 10 minutes it takes to seal them out. I bought from eBay, and sold my stock ones on eBay. Now I have about $30.00 net invested in the upgrade.

I did mine some time back as well. Well worth the investment; almost double the mirror real estate!

Are the completely plug and play? I have a 19 Tahoe LT but hate how small the mirrors are. Escalade mirrors have same wiring harness etc?

As long as you ahead have the needed features AND the Eskys have the same all is well. Options would be :
Power fold
Heated
Blind spot
Turn signal
If the donor has it, but your original does not, then no bueno.

if your original mirror is only heated and power, then.
heat, turn signal, power, puddle light "should" be plug-n-play
power fold would require the power fold switch and typically also require the door harness (both sides) and potentially additional wiring from the door harness/body interface to bcm (really depends on "if" the wires are there already or not at the door/body interface)
blind spot will not work period unless you had blind spot already.
camera will not work, you could "maybe" use a 3rd part interface but that's a different ball game
if your mirrors have everything above and you are just moving up to larger mirrors then it's plug-n-play

It may depend on if the cabling to the mirror is the same.
Years ago, when the instrument cluster on my 2004 [1500] Tahoe failed at 190k miles, I had it replaced for an extra $40 with a 2500 Chevy truck instrument cluster that had all of my Tahoe gauges plus the transmission temperature gauge in the lower left corner. The transmission temp gauge worked fine when the cluster was connected to my Tahoe wiring harness.
A few side notes.
The instrument cluster harness connection was a pain to deal with although the access to the connector was not difficult.
The vendor input my odometer reading into the new instrument cluster.. I had to attest that the number was accurate
My mechanic at the time remarked “I am surprised it lasted that long”. At the time I was unaware of the defective cluster design that resulted in failures at 70-80k miles.
