Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: No incident..,however while in alaska in 2005. i was told by a state trooper that my vehicle side mirrors do not meet dot standards, they are too small to properly view the side of the vehicle. my vehicle: 2000 ck3500, crew cab, 4x4, duel rear wheels..,pulling a 29' travel trailer. the trooper is right, my mirrors don't even view beyond the rear fenders much less the trailer. my question is; how can the vehicle industry put a product on sale if it does not meet the requirements it was made to do? nobody buys a vehicle as described without using it to pull something and the vehicle should meet those requirements per the standards set by dot nationally and by states. *tr
