The Tundra is handling this winter storm perfectly! I’m using a 7’ 6” Western plow, and it’s been great in these snowy conditions. Anyone else using this setup or something similar?
I’ve got a 2016 SR5, been plowing since I got my driver’s license over 30 years ago. I only got the Tundra five years ago, always had Fords and Chevys before. Didn’t think the Tundra would plow well, but I put a Western Enforcer on it, added custom wings, and it’s by far the best truck I’ve ever used for plowing.

I’ve got Goodyear Wranglers. They grip really well, but I’m thinking about switching to ten-ply tires since I carry a lot of tools daily. The Goodyears are 6-ply, grip great in snow but wear out faster, and they’re a bit noisy. If I switch, I’ll be looking for something quieter.
@Fallon
I’m using Falcon AT3 all-season tires (winter rated). They’re okay, but the compound is a bit too hard for winter. They work well enough with 4WD, though.
@Fallon
What tires are you using? That’s a heavy rig, but it gets the job done!

V plow enters the chat, nice setup!
Looks great! Those plows can be hard on the transmission. How’s it holding up?

Hey, no issues with it so far. It’s holding up really well. The plow’s been on the truck since 2012.
@Vivian
Correction, the plow has been used during winters since 2012.

More bulletproof than a Silverado 3500!

Those plows can get expensive! I looked into getting one just for my driveway, but with some used parts and me doing the install, it was going to cost around $8-9k.
Nice setup!

Thanks a lot!

Love it! Great rig.
I’ve got a friend whose son (I think in Massachusetts) uses Tundras for plow trucks exclusively. He’s tried everything, but he prefers the Tundra.
What plow are you using, and does it work well?

I’m using a Western HTS plow. It’s a really solid plow from a trusted brand. I’ve got a remote in the cab that lets me move it in all directions while on the move. I absolutely love it.
That looks awesome!!!
