How do I choose the right snow plow for my truck?

Match your plow to your truck’s size, suspension rating, and front axle capacity. Straight blades are ideal for basic driveway clearing, while V-plows offer better control and cutting power for larger areas or deep snow.

What’s the difference between a straight blade and a V-plow?

Straight blades are easy to use and great for pushing snow forward or to the side. V-plows are adjustable, making them more efficient in heavy snow or when clearing wide areas. If you plow often, a V-plow gives you more versatility.

Does the plow’s material really matter?

It does! Steel plows are tough and cut through ice and packed snow well, but they’re heavier and can rust if not taken care of. Poly (polyethylene) plows are lighter, won’t rust, and snow tends to slide off them more easily, so they don’t build up as much weight. Aluminum plows are also rust-resistant but aren’t as common. If you’re plowing often and need something durable, steel is a solid choice. If you want something lighter and lower maintenance, poly is a great option.

Can I put a snow plow on any truck or SUV?

Not every truck or SUV is built for plowing. You’ll want to check your front axle rating, suspension capacity, and whether your vehicle is plow-compatible. Smaller trucks and SUVs can handle light-duty plows for driveways, but heavier plows are better suited for three-quarter-ton or one-ton trucks. If you’re not sure, checking your owner's manual or looking up a plow fit guide is the best way to know what your vehicle can handle.

How do I maintain my plow?

Inspect hoses, connectors, and edges before winter. Rinse off salt after use to prevent rust. Store plows off the ground to protect the blade, and lubricate moving parts regularly to extend the life of your gear.
