Default snow plowing ranger?

this might be stupid to ask but anyone have a snow plow on their ranger?
if so pics would be great and the snow plow brand and size would be great too!
Thanks

i've seen quite a few around me lately with plows. Next time i see one parked, I'll take pictures of it and make note of brands and such. Maybe I'll even talk to the owner if hes around it haha.

I was scanning through my owners manual a few days ago and remember it saying that my ford ranger was NOT made for a snow plow . Maybe it's because I have the 2 wheel drive :P, but if you do a google search you'll find a few different brands.

haha ya youd have no chance with a plow. let alone just driving in the snow. when i have mine in 2wd in the snow it sucks. i dont know how you could go any where without 4wd in a ranger. how does yours handle the snow?

if you put a plow on , remember that adds to the wear and tear on all the front end parts. everything wears out quicker.. and i should know from experience.. that's why i went bigger.

Not very well, It tends to fish tail a lot. And if you don't weigh down the back good luck getting anywhere on ice. I even have pretty decent 29" AT tires.
