Cheap Snow Plow on small truck

yeah it is too good to be true, i bet that thing lasts a season if youre lucky before its fucked.
your truck itself might be alright for plowing, but realistically, youre going to fuck up your nice new ranger and not really be able to push that much snow at once (since the truck/plow combo is so light) id just try to find an old f250/350 with a real plow on it, it can be a huge heap of shit if youre only plowing with it so you shouldnt have to put that much money in it
just my 2cents

From all these Ranger forums I'm looking at, it seems that you would need a 250x or higher (Silv, F-series, Ram) to push commercial plots of snow.
But the larger I-5 Colorados and V6 Rangers (mine) seem to be able to do light snow like we get in Toronto. It'll be for 10-20 snowfalls in the winter and maybe (maybe) one ice push if my friendo gets his Nissan titan stuck in the snow or ice up north.

As long as its easily detachable or adjustable so that its not "on duty" when you're on normal roads

You do NOT want to hit something solid & attached to the road in a normal pickup truck when going at high speeds

Thatd prolly be fine if you dont have crazy long driveways.

>Truck is a 230hp 2010 Ford Ranger V6 4.0.

Actually its 207 HP.

Is it detachable? By the looks of the mounting kit, can I put it just on my front bumber or some shit like I do with my bumper guard?
I've never attached something like this or a pull kit before.. How do with those weird screws?

NOT WITH MY AFTERMARKET CARB!!!
Any chance to bring this up (;

207 HP would be OK if it were a V8 and had nearly 300 ft/lbs of torque but youve only got 238 ft/lbs and its at 3000 RPM.

Are you sure thats enough for snow plow type duty? Theres a reason people use full size and medium duty trucks for this kind of thing. Obviously, youll need 4WD or at a bare minimum a rear locker with weight in the bed.

Best I can tell you is to tune it for 93 octane, there are many companies that will make a tune for the 4.0 SOHC. Youll need something like an SCT tuner.

You might get +10 HP/ + 8 ft/lbs.

fffffuck if I know, looks like these four mountings are supposed to around something tube-shaped on the underside of your front

And no, your front bumper would probably fall off as its not designed to take on heavy loads like that

Those ppl plow acres like parking lots and shit. All I'm doing is two runs of my driveway and my neighbour's.
How much weight on the end, btw? Also, 4WD L good in the snow or do I stick with 4WD H in 2nd gear?

I'm looking at this. I might just be able to put it on my bumper GUARD - not the bumper itself.
I'll have to check what the guard is bolted onto, though. It looks like the easiest installation ever but so does LA GRILLE.

Any issues I would probably run into with using a medium sized truck like this Ranger?
