Pick up trucks and SUvs sometimes come equipped with retractable side mirrors. These are mirriors that allow the driver to extend the mirrors outward from the body of the vehicle in order to allow them to see around wide trailers they may be towing. The mirrors can be extended and retracted electrically or manually.

The mirrors are made retractabe so the vehicle will retain it's narrower profile when not towing wide trailers.

Do power retractable side mirrors decrease the width of a vehicle?

Yes, power retractable side mirrors can decrease the overall width of a vehicle when they are folded in. This feature is particularly useful in tight spaces, such as parking or navigating narrow streets, as it allows for easier maneuverability. However, when fully extended, the mirrors return to their original width, which is necessary for proper visibility while driving.
