Snow Plow

[murdog]

Has anyone found a plow manufacturer that has an application for the 2017 Raptor? Better yet, has anyone installed one and used it to provide some feedback on performance? Thanks

WTF?? I think you bought the wrong truck for that application.

Why would the Raptor be immune from plowing snow? It is a truck. Trucks are used for plowing snow. Really. . .

The soft suspension would do poorly at supporting the weight of a plow.

Exactly, do efficiently plow you will likely have to replace the suspension, hence you defeated the purpose of a Raptor. I would imagine you would have to add a significant amount of weight in the rear as well.

Would go buy a dedicated 3/4 or 1 ton truck to beat around for snow plowing.

You guys are probably right. I am trying to jam a square peg in a round hole. I don't plow much, my drive and my office lot only. May be time just to hire it out! Have not bought a Raptor yet but highly considering one. Thanks.

Pretty sure there is a reason they only offer the snow plow prep package on 5.0 trucks.

When I get my plow I'm going to ceramic coat it
