I've towed alot of different size trailers with my Avalanche, and also previously with two Suburbans. The Avalanche has the factory tow package, the mirrors are only a bit larger and have turn signal indicators in them. They are not extendable. I think I may have seen factory extended mirrors on some of the larger GMC trucks (3500/4500) and F350/450, but don't recall seeing them on standard 1/2 ton trucks.
As @pc500 said, I've never felt that I needed extended mirrors. My boat that I tow regularly has a 98" beam (width for you land lubbers) and I recently towed a refrigerated trailer that was 92" wide. I never thought once about any visibility issues.
I don't think it's at all unusual that Rivian promotes the towing capability but does not offer extended mirrors.
My brewery has an Isuzu NPR Box truck that I drive on occasion. While the mirrors are extended like any other box truck, you still can't see small cars centered directly behind you.
