I think the 2008 models have the mirror at a better angle than does our 2007. I cannot see the hitch in the bed because of the length of the cab (megacab) and also my crossbed toolbox blocks the view. I tried using the mirror but cannot see the hitch and pinbox until almost to the hitching point. So, it's of little value to me. I think the 2008's with the different mirror angle might work better.
To solve my problem of not being able to see the hitch, a friend (member SteveS) gave me an extending magnetic tool pickerupper. Now I just extend that tool and set it on the hitch in alignment with the center of the pin opening on the hitch. I can line up perfectly now. The pinbox pushes the rod off the hitch but the rod is tied to a lower part of the hitch and it just lays in the bed when not in use. Works great (thanks Steve!)
