Adding modern gadgets

Blind spot mirrors are a big help. They make it so you don't even have to turn your head to see if anyone is next to you. I see vehicles in the blind spot mirrors and my peripheral vision simultaneously. I have them on all of my vehicles.

+1. These are necessary.

Side mirrors can be adjusted to eliminate blind spots without installing blind spot mirrors.

How To Adjust Your Mirrors to Avoid Blind Spots

Adjust the mirrors so far outward that the viewing angle of the side mirrors overlaps that of the cabin’s rearview mirror.

Yes, but I use the blind spot mirrors to see where I'm backing up.... not as blind spot mirrors. Especially with trailer.

Aftermarket TPMS should be easy, there are a few companies that make kits.

There is always the option of doing a complete drivetrain swap from something newer. Like a new 2.3 ranger. Then you can port over the entire dash and all the peripherals.

I like the ones that are oval, rather than round, and mounted on a slanted base.

I even have them on my two motorcycles. Yeah, you can adjust the mirrors a hair. You cannot adjust them so much that you can see a vehicle in the mirror and your peripheral vision at the same time. All my vehicles, I can do that. There's absolutely no need to swivel your head when you can do that. Best to keep your eyes forward every second you can. And yes, backing up, I can clearly see the lines I am trying to back up between in those teeny mirrors.

In any event, my Ranger has Street Scene mirrors. They are rather small. The blind spot mirrors are what allow me to keep them. On all my vehicles ,the bs mirrors are located on the lower inboard corner. Works very well for me.
