Exterior Rearview Mirror problem

No incident. . ,however while in alaska in 2005. I was told by a state trooper that my vehicle side mirrors do not meet dot standards, they are too small to properly view the side of the vehicle. My vehicle: 2000 ck3500, crew cab, 4x4, duel rear wheels. . ,pulling a 29' travel trailer. The trooper is right, my mirrors don't even view beyond the rear fenders much less the trailer. My question is; how can the vehicle industry put a product on sale if it does not meet the requirements it was made to do? nobody buys a vehicle as described without using it to pull something and the vehicle should meet those requirements per the standards set by dot nationally and by states.
