Any plows yet?

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

Any plows yet?

Anyone put a plow on their 2012+ PW? Yes I know the manual says no plow.

My theory is this: I personally think Power Wagons or Reg Hemi 2500's are the PERFECT platform for snow plows. Why you ask ? Because with a simple $330 dollar set of front springs----SPECIFICALLY for a diesel, you can easily haul around the heaviest of snow plows with no issues what so ever. Diesels are about 6-800 lbs heavier than our Hemis. Only issue is the accelerated front end parts wear that comes with plowing. Ball joints, wheel/unit bearings, tie rod ends, etc.. .

I agree. Still looking to find anyone who put a newer plow unit on a 4th gen, specifically 2013 models. I may be selling my 95 F350 diesel dump truck so I will need to buy a plow for my PW. The winch is the main issue, I don't want to lose that or the tow hooks for a plow.

I have my old myers on my 05. This makes truck #3 for the old plow. The wintch and tow hooks are there. It was a pain putting the mount on the truck. The factory mounting bolts for plow mount that go through the wintch mount and frame were too short. Think i had to do a little mod on tow hook mount. Been a while can't remember. Everything is still there.
