How to operate a snow plow on a 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport.

If you look up SnowWay for 2024 Tacoma... They will have all the specs you need.

 

For those of you concerned about blocking the intercooler... Here's a handy little trick... If you take that yellow piece of metal on the top that says SnowWay and flip it around ( two bolts) it makes a nice airfoil that shoves cold air straight into the grill and won't get covered by the plow blade. Or " Plowflomaster' makes an air foil that you can mount directly to the top of the plow blade.

 

Thanks I did get a part number 99101519.

 

You're welcome!

 

do you happen to have some good pictures of the plow frame mount and what was removed or cut, i am getting this same type of setup for my truck but no way is anything getting cut, the mount should install without removing anything beside the ridiculous air dam. also is yours the hybrid? if so any issues running the power into the rear seat area. thanks

 

First, who ever says anything negative about plowing with a Tacoma is really short sighted. I have been plowing my driveway (1/4 mile paved) for 15 years with three different Tacoma's and never had a problem related to plowing snow or truck damage. I do NOT do any commercial snow plowing. If you want to do that for a living , sure, buy a bigger truck. But don't say the Tacoma cant plow snow because its simply not true.

That said, I want to trade in for a 24 or 25 Tacoma but I have yet to find a snow plow for one. I use Fisher, but they will NOT commit to having their HS plow fit a new Tacoma. What gives? Any other folks putting a (hydraulic full function) plow on a 24-25 Tacoma with success ? Please advise.

 

I think I would less hesitant with a blower than a regular blade. We had a person that plowed lots and the cemeteries with a 1500. He never had issues but after he plowed one event of snow. His brakes were shot.

 

I plow with a SnowWay 22 series 2 plow. It works great on my 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport.

 

Plowing is really hard on any truck. Whether or not the Tacoma is a good choice is besides the point. If you have strong reasons to have a plow for yourself (remote, long driveway or extensive property you are responsible for) and you don't want to spend a few $K for a beater with a heater for some reason, I'm sure it will get the job done.

But hanging a plow on a brand new truck that isn't a dedicated work truck is definitely asking for problems. The added weight up front, the increased strain on the transmission and brakes, the real chance of hard impacts on packed snow or hidden objects.....eeeesh. You just paid a LOT of money for a new truck, and this is pretty heavy duty if you're really going to work that plow. I wouldn't do it unless I had no choice (nobody I could hire, absolute necessity to have ground cleared at all times, big farm/commercial property with critical needs).

Are you really sure you don't want to buy an older F150 or something real cheap and use that to beat on?
