Anyone using a snow plow with their Toyota Tacoma?

Accessories & Modifications
1

I’m considering adding a snow plow to my Toyota Tacoma and I’d love to get some feedback from others who have done the same.

What’s your experience?

  • Which snow plow model did you choose?
  • How easy was the installation process?
  • Have you encountered any challenges during use?
  • How does it perform in heavy snow conditions?

Compatibility & Options

I want to make sure I get a plow that’s not only compatible but also efficient. Are there specific models that others have found work best with the Tacoma? Also, are there any additional accessories that you’d recommend for a smoother plowing experience?

Budget Considerations

If you’ve gone through the process of buying a snow plow, what kind of budget should I be looking at? Any tips on where to buy from or good deals you’ve come across?

Looking forward to hearing your tips and tricks!

I’ve been using a SnowBear plow with my Tacoma for a season now, and it works great! The mounting system is easy to install and remove, which is perfect for keeping my truck versatile.

That sounds great! How does it handle with the weight of the plow? What modifications did you do?

I’ve added air bags to help with the weight distribution. It makes a huge difference when the plow is mounted. I’d recommend those for sure!

Good tip, clee! Are they easy to install, or is it a complicated process?

Just installed mine last weekend, and it took about 2 hours. Completely worth the effort. The plow sits much more level now.

Do you think a heavier plow would be a problem for a Tacoma? I’ve heard mixed reviews about that.

Honestly, it depends on the model year. Some Tacomas handle heavier loads better than others. Newer models tend to have upgraded suspension systems.

Thanks for the insights, qfarmer! I’m considering a Fisher plow, but I’m unsure if it would fit my older model without significant modifications.

Fisher plows are great! Just make sure to check if there’s a compatible mounting kit for your Tacoma’s year.

I haven’t used a plow personally, but I’d love to hear how they hold up in really heavy snow. Is it worth the investment for regular users?

I can say that having a plow saves a ton of time in snow removal. For regular users, it’s definitely worth it!

What about using a snow plow with a lift kit? Does that affect the mounting?

A lift kit can actually help with the plow’s positioning, just be cautious with the weight and balance. It can get tricky!

I’ve heard people joke about Tacomas being ‘snow plow trucks’. Given their performance with plows, is that true? Sounds like they can handle it!

16

Haha, it might just become the new Tacoma trend! They’re definitely capable with the right set up.

I’ve been using a snow plow with my Tacoma for two winters now. It handles well in light to moderate snow, but in heavy conditions, it’s a bit of a struggle. Overall, I’m satisfied but would recommend upgrading to a stiffer suspension.

That sounds like a solid setup, but have you tried it in deeper snow? I’m curious how it performs when the conditions are at their worst.

I’ve used mine during a blizzard last year, and I was honestly impressed! My Tacoma powered through the heavy snow without any issues. Just make sure to get a good blade!

What kind of plow did you go with? I’m debating between a few brands, and I want to make a smart investment.
