So its about time for me to get rid of my Tundra. I really like that truck. It has gone 150K mi + with zero issues.
Unfortunately, I just cannot bring myself to get a new '14. For some reason I just do not like the look of the truck.
Saturday I put an order in on a '14 Sierra Denali. I will wait at least a month or more for its arrival due to delays in getting the 6.2.
I'm ok with that as I will finish out the season in the Tundra. However, once the GMC arrives I will need to get a plow on it.
I did the Western and Fisher quik match and both show a plow available for the GMC. I am not familiar with western or fisher but it seems that they suggest only a very small lightweight plow for this truck.
I will be putting on a 3-4" lift including coils and other necessary hardware for a proper job but I was wondering if anyone has put a plow on one of these (chevy Silverado or gmc sierra) bigger than the base home use or 1/2 ton suggested plows?
I have my Boss from the Tundra which is a year old and I have had no problems with. I'd prefer to use that but at this point cant find anyone who has done one. I figured if it has been done with any brand this is the place to hear about it.
If anyone has or has attempted to put a decent weight plow on one of these '14 trucks let me know. I hate to have to throw away the Boss to get a lesser plow. If the Boss doesn't work but a western or fisher of similar weight does that is OK. I know its a new truck and likely by next season it will be common place I just figured I would see who has attempted this and what the results were.
Yes, I know its not ideal for plowing, I've heard the electric steering causes issues, I am aware of the extra wear and tear, I know all of the negatives. Yes, I have a '01 Tacoma beater with a 7' light duty plow I can use. Its just so much nicer to be able to plow in my daily driver. More comfortable, all my stuff is in there, and I just like it better.
So, if anyone has any comments on actually doing an install or attempting to do one let me know.
Yes, I tried the search option as well. Not a lot of useful information there yet either.
Thanks
