    Has anyone mounted a snow plow to their vehicle? Never mind, putting a blade on my riding mower instead.

    I live in a snow belt and a lot of landscape guys plow snow in the winter to keep busy. They use mostly 3/4 ton trucks that are used to pull equipment trailers in the summer. These trucks look beat. Even when they’re late model. A 4 Runner is a sport vehicle, sure it’s tough compared to a car and most of the unibody SUV’s out there, but it’s pretty light underneath. It’s not a 3/4 ton or 1 ton diesel Ford, GMC or Dodge truck. My suggestion if you want to plow snow is to get a compact tractor with a front end loader. Something designed for the purpose.

    on a 4runner I never seen a plow on one. perhaps because how do you mount it ? other trucks the frame is setup to mount the plow.
    I have seen small trucks with plows and these are used to just plow their driveway not street plowing.

    250/350 trucks are street plow trucks 1200/1500 driveway plowing.
