snowplow?

Just my opinion, but a 1/2 ton isnt the best set up for a plow. The beat down your truck takes is unreal, you will never make enough to pay for the plow and maintain your truck. Buy a beater if you wanna push snow. Western makes decent lightweight plows, if you are dead set on the idea. Disengage you airbags too, or else the first parking block you find might hurt a little.

I have never seen them on a 1/2 ton. Always F250, F350, Chevy 2500 or Dodge 2500 and up. And also on older model trucks that are used ONLY for that specific purpose. You need alot of weight behind the push, plenty of torque and heavy duty steel frame(I would think):o .I think unless you are using your truck as a beater(as previously mentioned), then give it a try, but not a daily driver. I have seen airbags offered to strengthen the front end

I have seen others but cannot find it now. Good luck. Let us know if you give it a try.

Makes me laugh every time i see it, cause usually they are the ones driving around when there is barely any snow at all. Poor wittle truck.. They make plows for every jeep and truck out there regardless of size, but please dont go out there and beat the crap out of your truck because they make a plow for it. If you want to use it for your home or farm buy a used polaris 500 with a blade, save your truck for the drifts. Besides Pushing snow is fun for about a half an hour then it just plain sucks. just my opinion

150 is good for your driveway and thats about it. gotta go with with 250-350 if you want to make some cash and they can take that kind of abuse. i had a dakota with a 6 foot blade and it was great for my driveway and my neighbors. it is funny seeing those rangers and s10 with thier plows on when its a dusting.
