Does anyone know of a place I can get some heated mirrors that would physically mount up? (wiring isn't an issue for me) I hate scraping ice on cold mornings. I guess I've been spoiled by my Acura RLX.

They have a fairly unique mounting... I'm not aware of anything that will bolt up. Not sure they were ever "optional" on any generation Ranger... with exception of 2019's.
I suggest building a bigger garage... heated garage at that.

I would check for a Aviator or Mountaineer with heated mirrors and see what it would take to graph those to a Ranger. Be sure to take pics and post a thread on it and what you did to make it work.Does anyone know of a place I can get some heated mirrors that would physically mount up?

- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Just heat the mirrors you already have.
I found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Hacloser-Universal-Mirror-Heater-Defogger/dp/B077JQNS3X?tag=959media-20
I might try it...

That seems like it has some potential.

If you do this, it might benefit others if you did a "how to add heat to stock mirrors". Luckily i live in FL and should never need this mod.
