Anyone able to recommend any good towing mirrors for a Gen 4? Something that fits easy and is non damaging? Thanks.

I've used these RING in the past and found them easy to fit, clear in use and none damaging.

BUT ---- I don't know if they will fit the Jimny as I no longer have them , they should as they are a "universal fit"
Have you towed yet ? Only asking as I can see fine without them on my G3 with Eriba caravan on the back.

I just checked and legally you have to be able to see a 4 meter spread from the side of the trailer at a distance of 20 metres behind the driver. In practice I find that I can comfortably see both back corners of my 5ft wide sheep trailer with the standard mirrors which is acceptable for road use. However if I have to shunt my 6ft wide twin deck I can't see the corners so would need extension mirrors if I dared take it down the road on the jimny. I would therefore recommend extension mirrors to any jimny towing something over 5ft wide. I too used to have the ring ones for the Cherokee but sold them with it.

Thanks. Think I'll order the Europarts ones, they seem pretty cheap.

Kind of surprised Suzuki don't offer any 'official' ones. Seeing as the Jimny has sufficient tow rating to tow a lot of types of caravan. But being a narrow vehicle clearly would require towing mirrors to be safe and legal.
