A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head that is movable relative to a mounting base and a powerfold actuator that is operable to move the mirror head relative to the mounting base between a folded position and an extended position. The powerfold actuator includes a base portion attached at the mounting base and a pivot tube that extends from the base portion through an output gear and a housing. The output gear includes a plurality of detents that engage a corresponding plurality of detents of the housing. With the detents engaged, a biasing element biases through the housing and the output gear to the base portion to releasably retain the powerfold actuator in the at least one detent state of the powerfold actuator. With the detents disengaged, the biasing element does not bias through the housing and the output gear.
