Question:

I’m looking at plows for my 2018 F-150 4x4 to keep up with a few small business lots. Not sure if I should get one of the lighter models or something heavier.

Caleb, you’ll be happiest with the HomePlow Hydraulic # ME53FR or the commercial-grade WingMan # ME35FR. Both give you full in-cab control for raise, lower, and angle. The WingMan just adds a thicker 26" blade and dual hydraulic cylinders for heavier duty setup and more control. If you plan to use it quite a bit, the commercial one is worth the extra money. Either one fits right into a 2" receiver (if you don't have one yet, the Curt # C31083 would work fine).

On a half ton truck, it's also a good idea to get front suspension enhancement so the front end doesn't drop too low and prematurely wear out the front suspension. I'd add the Timbren # TFF150G for that.

Do you plow several sites back-to-back, or just your own lot?

Thanks! I’ve got a 5.0L XLT. Will that front hitch you mentioned fit fine with the tow hooks? I like to have those if I get stuck or something. thx

@Caleb Yes sir! The Curt # C31083 installs right behind the tow hooks on your 2018 F-150, so you keep them in place. It’s a bolt-on install that doesn’t require cutting, and Meyer’s Quick-Link mount slides straight in. Takes about an hour to put on with basic tools.

Does the WingMan drain the battery faster since it’s dual motor?

@Marcus Marcus, it does draw more amperage during lifting and angling, but your truck’s charging system can easily handle it as long as you’ve got at least a 60-amp alternator and a healthy 550 CCA battery. You should be good to go.
