Installing a snow plow on your pickup can seriously help save your arms and back.
The best snow plow for a Toyota Tundra
depends on how much plowing you’ll be doing and how much money you’re willing to spend. You’ll also need to choose your plow’s material, blade shape, and whether you want a fixed or mechanical plow. For personal use snow plows, it’s generally recommended that you choose a fixed, straight blade plow made of lighter and less expensive steel. However, you can also opt for a polyethylene (plastic) plow for greater durability and a mechanical plow for heavy-duty jobs—these will cost you more.
Here are a few popular plow manufacturers Toyota Tundra drivers have found good options with:
Depending on the material and company you choose, you can expect to spend anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000 for your plow. If you opt for a mechanical plow, you may also need professional help with wiring and installation, which will cost extra.
Before you spend that sum of money, you’ll want to make sure your Tundra is equipped to handle a plow in the first place. Typically, it’s recommended that you only install a snow plow on Tundras with at least a six-cylinder engine (preferably eight) and four-wheel drive.
