Does anyone run a plow on either the T100 or Tundra and what brand and size plows are you running? I currently run a 6 1/2' Fisher plow on my '90 pickup and am interested in finding out if I can still plow if I go to a T100 or Tundra.

The brutal winters in California sometimes dip into the low......60's. It is occasionally cold enough that you cannot even wear your.......shorts.
Snow, what snow? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'll take a little snow any day over your earthquakes, mud slides, forest fires and heat! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

But shucks, I love being outdoors, man.. can't go outside when there's 26" of snow holding the door shut. Can't have the best of both worlds I guess unless you're a snowbird...good luck with the plow. Albany gets plenty of snow.. I got stuck up there 10 years ago applying for a forestry job.. never got it, thank God! (Nothing against you!, I just hate winter.) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Here's a good pic : the day of the 2005 blizzard, I HAD to go to work (figure that, huh?). I needed a plow that day. ![[Linked Image]](http://img84.exs.cx/img84/7675/truck_snow.th.jpg)

The front end of the t and the comparitively week engine (compared to F250 and chev 2500)just don't lend itself well to be a plow truck. A 7.5ft medium duty Fisher MM plow weighs approx 700lbs. Although there are some lighter composite plows out there now for personal use that might work. I have seen those on some pretty small vehicles. It all depends what you need to plow. I myself love my t way to much to toss a plow on it. Thats what Chevys are for. Sorry, but I cannot speak about the application on Tundras, although the engine is plenty strong. What's up Albany? Nice to hear from someone in the area. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

It does the job well but its getting old, rusty, needs a t-chain and clutch soon. I hate the 95 to present Tacos and all the pre 95 trucks are getting rusty unless you go south to locate a clean one. Im just exploring the possibility of going to a T100 or Tundra if I can still plow with them. Ive seen full size steel plows on T100s but not Tundras. I would never consider a unreliable domestic truck, BUT the Jeep Gladiator (dont shoot me! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />) concept is very tempting... Gladiator . Other than that, alls well in SmAlbany. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Fwiw, I think the T's frame (boxed vs. c-channel) & suspension (torsion bar vs. coil) would be better suited for plowing than the Tundra. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
