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.
asked by: Caleb
Expert Reply:
Caleb, for a few small business lots I’d lean toward the HomePlow Hydraulic # ME53FR. It gives you full in-cab control to raise, lower, and angle the blade, which is a nice upgrade over the lighter auto-angling HomePlow models if you’ll be plowing regularly.
It mounts in a 2" front receiver, and if you don’t already have one, the Curt # C31083 is a fit for your F-150. I’d also consider the Timbren # TFF150G up front to help support the added plow weight and reduce front-end sag.
How often are you expecting to plow those lots during the winter?

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

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
