can anyone tell me whether or not this truck will hold a plow, I'm new to this and dont plan on plowing 100 acres with it, but I just want to be sure that this truck will hold the plow well enough, any ideas on what would be a good starter plow?
I'm running an 8.5 extremeV on an extended cab short box 2000 2500 silverado... I have the torsion bars cranked up and timbrens on it, and generally run 500 lbs of bagged salt against the tail gate and it handles it pretty good...
Mine holds my 8ft Snow Dogg just fine. Got 4 turns on the tbars, timbrens and about 450lbs of ballast. Front drops maybe 1/2 inch. Got the same motor and trans as the 2500HD so there is no lack of power. Mine has 160K and still doesnt miss a lick
have a 2000 2500. Bought brand new. Has been plowed with since new. 75% commercial,15% res., Boss 8' pro poly. truck is holding up fine. it is 8600 gvw. going to run it till it dies. 135,000 mi.
I wouldn't hesitate plowing with truck. If your going with a straight blade put in the correct counter weight and you probably wouldn't have to mess with tbars.
I would bet if you check your title it actually says HD on it. Even if does not you will have NOT one problem putting a blade on it. Timbrens would be extra insurance.
