Uh, they do fold in. Or do you want power folding?

Not sure how easy it would be but as for as least expensive I'd search some of the luxury car forums and see if they have any mirrors like this for sale. Then you could tear them apart and adapt the parts to the ranger mirrors.

The other option is aftermarket parts but I've never see them for rangers, mainly hondas and such.

I've been looking into this as well, but it doesn't really seem feasible on the cheap side, because you would need to remove your glass for them mirrors which is never easy/cheap to replace, but ti would be cool, I believe the new F-150's have (lariat and king ranch) have the option stock, but I'm not sure how F-150 mirrors would look on a Ranger, here's write up I found, but again it is for swapping F-150 mirrors:
