    I could see putting a plow on the truck if you had to go on the road to get to different sites, but for home use, why not just get an ATV?

    My father in law does 500' of driveway with an ATV and it seems to work pretty well.

    I have Meyer Drive Pro on my 2012 Taco. Great little plow. If we get wet heavy snow, l’ll add a little weight in the bed, and that truck just keeps pushing it.

    I agree with this.

    Youll risk tearing the crap out of a DD tacoma by running a plow.

    If driveway isn’t too big I would just buy a nice snow blower, ariens makes about the best. No problem with piles of snow that way.

    I plow with my Kubota with a 3ph plow. I would never ruin a new truck with a plow because they take a lot of abuse.

    Lets see I just plowed the last storm with my snow-pro 3000, not to hard to install, light enough to pull or move into place if your off a little, My taco still pushes it fine, and if were to get a lot of snow I too like to add some weight. I do not think that the plow can hurt my truck ( it's got 327,000miles so far).
    Granted I use it on my 400+ driveway and large parking area with out to much trouble, remember go easy and often when there is a lot of snow. The key is to push the snow way wide the first storm .


    However I didn't find it on there web site ... might not be made anymore..:eek:
    P.S. Snow blowers do not like rocks!
