This truck plows better than my 03 F250 and I don't know why.

 

nice truck..

I would think that 6.7 would be a huge jump in power over the old 5.4 when plowing..

 

I just put a boss XT V Plow on my F250 last week and plowed most of the day Saturday and it works great. I was in some deep stuff and the bottom 4 inches has been there for a while and was frozen, the top 4 inches was not frozen. Never got stuck.

 

What tires are you running? Do you have a preferred brand of tire for plowing?

 

I just have the OEM tires myself. Not even sure of the brand without looking.

 

Good looking truck. We could have used the plow at our house this week too.

 

At work we have a 2001 F250 crew cab long bed with 3.73 gears and 5.4 motor with a standard Boss plow. Ive used it three times coming in for OT to plow and its pushed snow with ease. Ive plowed with a older chevy diesel so it wasnt like a newer power house diesel but i dont see why the need to have a 500hp diesel to push snow for?? Especially since ive plowed with a 1986 jeep with a plow and it did just as good as the trucks ive driven iPhone from IB AutoGroup

 

My 5.4/3.73 combo pushes snow great with a 8.5' Western Pro plus plow.

Plowing is a game of persistence anyway. If you wait until you have 14" to move then it's a problem. If you are moving every 4 - 6 then it's easy. We have had so many storms here in the Boston that it's a friggin' joke right about now. I have gone through (Literally) 20' snow drifts, hit the gas, close your eyes and hope to hell that there is no one stuck in there. : )


I plow with a 04 350 DRW with a V10. the truck has more than enough power to move the snow (Although the DRW makes it a little challenging)

Any truck will starve for traction before power...nic rig kaufman

 

just the oem tires so far.
