The best truck for snow plowing - Dodge Ram 2500 vs Ford F-250 

3 years ago we had a 65 inch snowfall in Moose Pass Alaska. I successfully cleared the largest parking lot in this small town with my F350 4x4 V-10. The next day my truck was one of six left in operation, all were Fords.

Like your opening two truck synchronised backward snowplowing. I'm impressed.

The one thing I love about Hemi’s in Rams is that they move and sound great

Been plowing since 88 , started with 2 Dodge Snow Commander's with Meyer plows. I have owned & ran all of them , both has & diesel . I currently run- 09 Chevy 2500 reg cab gas with 8 ft Western straight blade & a Daniel's rear plow , And a 12 Ford F250 reg cab gas with Boss EXT blade . Both trucks have 140k on them , just put new trans $4k in Chevy a year ago, although rockers & rear wheel wells are rusting out , still a good looking truck & runner . Although replaced rotary dial 4x4 couple times . The F250 still looks close to new aside from a couple of dings/dents , both still have cold A/C , but the F250 will run circles around the Chevy !!! Guy's will bitch about having to drive the Chevy vs F250 !! From a guy whose a heavy haul trucker for 28 years, & operates a 600 hp diesel & 18 speed , hauling up to 200,000 lbs every day , My opinion is as follows- Ford F250/350 Reg cab , gas motor , lever shift 4x4 . Why ? The extra $$ over gas engine, the extra cost for diesel fuel & DEF, just dont justify the cost for my type of operation. The 6.2 gas has plenty to pull my 20 ft. fully loaded trailer , & gets good mpg , especially plowing. I've always run regular cab plow trucks , I can get into a lot of tight places that are tuff for crew cabs . I prefer the lever operated 4x4 & lock out hubs of the Fords . Better mpg & a lot less maintenance & wear & tear , over rotary dial & push button 4x4 and full time hubs !! I'm not saying I wouldn't buy another Dodge or Chevy ? It all depends on the deal I get ? And I'm in the market for another truck right now , and I'm likely to go with a F350 . They're all priced within $1500 for what I'm looking for , & plow dealers say a Ford is the most plow friendly truck . The new Dodge is a good looking truck, but I dont like the dash/gauge layout . And I dont know about the new Chevy , Idk , if I like it , or hate it ?? Time will tell .

Watching this makes me so happy I left the hell of NY 22 years ago for SC. I would never go back. Ever.

Ford fan due to the fact they have aways done great with pulling trailers hauling a load ford has always been dependable in my opinion

Every time I get sick of plowing I have simply to watch one of your delightful videos and I am heartened. Thanks for your videos.

The thing is .the more weight you have the more snow you going to push.i always put weight in my trucks.dont matter if it's a Ford or Dodge or chevy.weight is the key😜

I live in the desert, why am I even watching this

I have a 2019 ram limited . No snow plow by any means . After owning 14 Chevy and GM pickups the ram caught my eye and I’m glad I made the change. Truthfully I think all 3truckmakers have a good truck.

I had an 89 Ranger, small pickup. Someone converted the stick to an automatic. The tranny went out, first the reverse then all of them except 2nd and first. So I drove it around town in second, just as an experiment to see how long it would drive. Hauled a ton and a half a few miles and back, a small car, cut up but the recycling center refused the load, so it went back to where I got it. I tried to kill that bad tranny, but it would not die. Finally I gave up & junked it. This happened around 2010. Fords are tougher than we'll ever know. I subbed today. Christmas Eve 2019.

Hey there, I know I'm a little late on the subject but you mentioned the Rams rusting out over the rear wheels. Keep in mind another spot for these is the other rocker panel( the one you see when u stand next to it). To keep these from rusting from the inside out keep your used engine oil. Everyone your done pour the warm oil into a garden sprayer. Take your tail lights out and blow that used engine oil allover the inside of the fenders and the rocker panel. Both are doubled walled:)

At 76 you almost, almost make me wanna go back north just to go plow snow in a new Dodge. My 72 was a 7800 Camper Special W200, 318, with the NP 435 transmission and 4:10s, with a mechanical drive vs. electric hydraulic Myers Snofiter pkg. I added a second set of Springs and an additional 4 in in height do the top of the blade. It was all truck! I was out of the snow plow business after the divorce. But I kept the truck for more than 300,000 miles.

Not to mention you can put a new motor in a gasser for just the price of injectors on a diesel

Just bought the new 7.3 gas. the power curve from low to high is absolutely unbeatable! For a gas powered pickup, I had a 6.4 ram 2500. Which I loved but the 2020 f250 is equally comfortable. But way more power yet.

Hi Stanley, I was born and raised in a GM family always had Chevy and GMC trucks. Then I had a bad one and bad experience with the dealer. I bought my first Ford, it was a nightmare!! Traded that in for my first Dodge 04 2500 Quad Cab. Loved it. Had it many years and in 2015 traded it for a new one, I haven’t looked back! With a set of BFG ATs, the trucks are unstoppable and very reliable. I won’t buy anything else now. Good luck with yours, I’m sure you will love it.

My dads 2006 ram 1500 is a rust bucket in the same spots😂😂. It’s starting to create holes as well. Overall, with 113,000 miles, original everything, can’t complain. Great trucks

Ram shifts from drive to reverse smoothly and by far my favorite plow truck, have used 2500 and 3500 regular cab with 9.2 boss DXT for a long time, love the Ram and Boss DXT

I’ve just recently became a dodge owner about 5 years ago I transitioned from a Chevy with the 5.7 to dodge 4.7 the biggest difference to me is the low end torque but the dodge does hold its own hasn’t let me down

Been plowing for 17 years. Have plowed with dodge 2500 diesel and now a Ford F-250 diesel. I loved my dodge as far as turning radius when plowing over the Ford. The Ford overall I have to say I like better plowing. My Ford is a beast when pushing snow here in the Chicagoland area.

Really enjoy the review videos. I'm a truck enthusiast so I like them all. Id have to say Dodge/Ram is my favorite. All I have driven for 16 years. Currently have a 17 Tradesman I bought new.60k miles. No issues. I can't say ive had any more issues over the year's than anyone I know with a different brand. Ive had several diesels. Gasoline is my preference. It's going to be real interesting to see the 7.3 in the ford. Reminds me of the old 460.

Stan just basically has a portable sun sitting on top of the Ford 😂 so may LED pods I love it!

40 odd years ago not long after I emigrated to Canada I bought my first F250 8 cylinder gasser with a 8 foot Myers snow plow and started a small Landscaping snow plowing company. That truck was awesome, plowing snow for condominiums and small businesses. I made a mistake the next year taking over another small landscape maintenance company the next year acquiring another 2 trucks another F250 gasser and a Ram Charger 8cyl 360 gasser.... both with Western plows and they handled snow and ice like champs. The problem was those winters we had a lot of snow and it was hard getting good help willing to put in the effort until the all the contracts were plowed and cleared of snow. After 8 to 10 hours the 2 other drivers were wanting to go home as they were tired and unfortunately I couldnt drive 3 trucks myself and with that one storm I was out 36 hours plowing snow on my own. Then I got another driver, experienced and as the night wore on I was getting messages saying that certain condos the roads hadnt even been plowed and the new guy was supposed to plow them first hours ago. I had to go see what had happened to him thinking the worst sure enough very little was plowed and in those days we didnt have cell phones and so I had to go looking for this guy why hadnt he called the office if he broke down or had an accident.... then I saw him plowing out a gas station not one of my customers!!! A lot of snow had fallen and business , gas stations their contractors hadnt plowed them out yet and he had been asked to plow their lots and he was pocketing the cash and my customers and clients hadnt been touched. I was sooo pissed. I had to go get my wife, gave her quick lesson on plowing and we plowed the rest of the contracts together. Yes I fired him, made him walk home from there took the money off him. I should have just got enough work or contracts for myself and one other guy instead of growing my little landscape maintenance business too fast. Did you ever have an new employee pull that one on you... trying to hide it and lying to me by saying he made a mistake thought that was one of my customers? Fecker!!

That Dodge with a set of duratracs would be a complete monster! Love the vids man keep up the amazing content!

I was about to comment that you've plowed everybody's yard but yours, then you bought out the snow ❄ blower! 🤩

Me: " The hell is he doing with the mirror?" Mirror flips up Me: "Okay that was pretty cool"

my dad had a 2017 ram 1500 and he loved that thing. The power though was amazing, loved that truck

I bought a Ram Laramie Long Horn 4X4 in 2014...great truck...zero problems and I intend on keeping it for a long time...I drove a Chevy Silverado 4X4 for 11 yrs prior..also a great truck, but it did have many problems. I will check the passenger side of the bed of the ram for rust.... Truly enjoy your videos..... 👍👍👍

So I have been plowing for years and like you I was convinced that Ford diesels were the way to go as far as plow trucks go(and still am to some extent). However, not all Ford diesels. Either the 7.3 or the 6.7.. everything else will leave you heartbroken and, well, broke. However- I do have an old ('89) Chevy 3500 with a 454 single cab single rear wheel pickup I inherited that has some advantages over the Fords. The power to weight ratio is the absolute biggest advantage. The diesel engines at a LOT of weight to the front of the truck, which requires you to have a lot of ballast weight when running a plow which in turn makes the overall vehicle very heavy. Great for parking lot plowing. In fact a lot of the time you can plow in 2 wheel drive. Not great for if you happen to get off the edge of a road, because you are going to go directly to the bottom of the ditch. Every. Single. Time. Now, with that old Chevy I slip off the edge of the road I mash the go go peddle to the floor that old 454 lets out a roar and I am back up on the road again. Why? Because that truck weighs less than half of those Fords. The other obvious advantage is cold start. At -25° you will have a better chance of gas engine that hasn't been plugged in firing up than a diesel. Especially a 7.3 Ford diesel. However, in the economy game, the diesels sip their fuel, and that 454 guzzles gas like a dehydrated middle linebacker. Those are just a few of my observations, and I know it's not a comparison of Dodge/Ford, more of the gas vs diesel debate. Bottom line is all brands of pickups will plow snow, and all of them will have advantages and disadvantages. It's all in the set up and intended use that you have to look at.

Awesome brother Dodge kicks ass in the snow i have plowe with both trucks upstate Ny when i plowed snow love them both keep up the awesome work god blesss you and your family

I have a Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, love it! My first truck! I pull my 7x12 open trailer with it. I really want a Ford F-350 with a DumperDogg Pickup Dump insert.

Everyone has their own experience. Bought my first/final Dodge in '93. Good looking. Good price. Wouldnt start. Backfired. Stalled. Shitty mileage. Great in snow. Paint peeled off. Window wouldnt close. Brakes locked up continuously (not all, just right rear) and only way to unlock it was to back up - love backing up in traffic on Interstates. It got so used to being in the shop it would turn into the dealership on its own, it thought it lived there. Went to Ford and it rusted in 2.5 years. Chevy ever since. Way quieter, turns tighter, best transfer case.

Can't wait to see the cybertruck snowplowing....or not

Whatever anyone else tells you. You did RIGHT with DODGE!

I have been looking for a comparison like this. Like you I was once a die hard chevy person then Ford. But now rethinking things with you're comparison of Ford and Dodge. The Dodge clearly won in that competition. Thank you very much

Awesome video Stanley I've got three Dodges a 3500 a 2500 and a 5500 the 3500 is a 6.4 2500 is a 6.4 and the 5500 is a diesel six seven the 3500 it's a great plow truck I have never put up front in part in it yet it's got 250,000 miles on it it has a 9-foot Arctic on it the 2500 has a 9- foot Arctic it and the 5500 Dodge I have a 14 foot Pusher on it I made it up myself one for a skid steer. Tks again for the great videos

I'd love to come up there and work for a winter running equipment plowing.

Disable the RAM seatbelt chime. Simply put belt on, turn key on, wait till everything boots up in the cluster then Unbuckle and buckle three times while finishing with it buckled. Turn ignition off and you should hear a chime. No more belt alert.

Juat rewatched this video. The new chevy HD with the 6.6 gasser is a plowing and towing beast. The company I work for has 2 we plow with. Lots of low end power. Great for plowing, towing and hauling.

I've got a '18 Ram 2500 Big Horn Crew Cab, Cummins, Snow Chief Package etc. with a 8' SnowDogg HD80II. Love it! Pushes right through the heavy stuff and have yet to get myself stuck! Have my friends with Fisher and Western looking twice now!

I’m just here for the comments from the Dodge fans 😂 /backtotheshow

I have a 2500 ram with the 6.7 Cummins and it just plain monster and no problem with emmotions so far and in have 50,000 on it

That plow looks sooo perfect on the dodge

My 99 f350 plow truck with bench seat is huge inside for plowing...can't kill it after 20 years. both diffs are locked up cause I have a steep driveway.. love it. real 4wd.

I personally am a Ford guy love them have owned several since 2000 with zero issues. I currently own a 2017 F250 with the 6.2 gas. I have a buddy with a 2017 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 hemi. We pull enclosed snowmobile trailers to the U.P. of MI. The F250 pulls a 29ft trailer with for sleds and the Ram pulls a 20ft trailer with 3 sleds. He literally struggles to keep up in the Ram plus that 6.4 Ram doesn't drive past to many fuel stops.

I liked the montage Of the snow plowing. Can’t wait to see what’s next. (Also I am a ford guy all the way)

Thumbs up just for that clip of the side by side plowing maneuver.

Minnesota and Michigan do the same snow plow load test and id say both Ford And Dodge are basically the Same Hands Down keep up the Awesome work you have the best plowing work RU-vid channel 100%

Hey man you do a great job on your video. I really enjoy watching your content. I work for the power company and they just replaced my 2000 7.3 F-550 with a 2017 F-550 with the 6.7 and that thing is great. I know what you mean about that delay going into reverse and it is better on the 17. Not sure about the gas engine. Also the 17 has a lot more room behind the seat than the 16’s and older. But I am very excited about the new 7.3 gas engine and I am thinking about buying one for my personal truck. I don’t care about gas mileage in a truck I care about getting the job done. When I want gas mileage I drive my focus 😀

The pre emissions cummins engines are an absolute animal i own an outdoor service company and its the best truck out there

By doing the following sequence you can shut the seatbelts chime off... I did it on my 2017 Ram 2500. 1)Get into truck. Latch seat belt. 2) Turn key to on. Do not start. 3) Wait for everything to boot up. Then take ur seatbelt off an latch it 3 times within 10 seconds. Turn key off and then u will hear a single chime. Quick and easy. I do some work where I'm in and outta my truck alot and moving around at the farm or stuff like that where i dont need to put my belt on, but dont want to hear the chiming...

I am both a mechanic and a research engineer with 3 engineering degrees. I was a farm boy and grew up using trucks eze real heavy duty tools. In my area the farmers tie their pickups back-to-back with chains to see who can drag the other one across the fields. The Fords and dodges were pretty equal but the Chevy's always broke. Chevy has built their trucks for urban cowboys which is why the interiors fall apart over time and they break when used as tools. The Dodge trucks are built for performance and have incredible transmissions typically. However their performance is typically in the high end as opposed to the low end. The forge tended to be the best all around in terms of engine and transmission reliability as well as low end performance. If you review your video the reason that you had trouble with that 1st pile of snow was not because of any limitations with the trucks but rather a different type of ice on the road surface which caused the truck to lose traction. That was not the fault of the truck. I personally like both the Ford and the Dodge. In fact I still have a Ford excursion with a V10 that is just fabulous. You may want to verify this but one of the primary differences was that Ford has a separate engine division for their trucks while Dodge tended to use car engines which is the cause of the performance difference. The Chrysler cars have always had excellent high in performance which is translated to their trucks as well. The 4 truck engines even back to the old 292 were great at the low end. Ford had lots of trouble with the diesels for 2 reasons. 1st was the fact that they did not build the engines or design them. 2nd was the fact that the transmission was not specifically designed to handle the torque of a diesel engine. Chrysler had similar problems with their diesel. Now talking about that hesitation with Ford. Delete always have that hesitation or did it develop over time? You may be experiencing what we used to call morning sickness which can occur mostly in cold regions and results from the temperature impacting the seals of the valve body. As the transmission fluid warms it typically goes away. However it can also be caused by any of the U joints or couplers. If it is Au joint or coupler you definitely need to have those replaced as they will fail over time. I am very interested in your feelings about the 7.3 engine although I am not certain that the additional cost and reduction in gas mileage will be worth the difference as the primary challenge in your case is probably more traction than engine power. Just something to think about... Again I love my Ford V10 and the doggone thing will climb trees!!! Bank you for your wonderful wonderful work!

Hey Stan would love to see another review on those 2 dodges after having them almost 2 years now. I currently have a 2013 f350 crew cab with a 6.2. I've had it for 5 years now and its been dead nuts reliable. Tow my mini excvator lots with it. Started to get a bunch of dump trailer work and thinkin of goin back to a regular cab just for more maneuverability and I never have much in the back seat anyways. Would most likely be gettin another f350 but with the new 7.3 and 4.30 gears

the 6.4 is named the apache engine. it's similar to the 392 used in the scat pack.. obviously, built with more low end for a truck

Never owned a Ford but don't have anything against them and might own one someday. I was GM guy for about 30 years with no complaints. Decided I wanted a diesel 3 years ago and really wanted the Cummins so tried one out and fell in love with it right away. The truck has been awesome for 120,000 miles and would like to add a second Ram to my business. With your review I am thinking the second truck will be the 6.4 gasser 2500 and the 3rd truck will be another Cummins 3500. Keep up the great videos brother! I really enjoy them.

Years ago afriend of mine that I plowed with bought a new 1 Ton Dodge Dump Truck with a 9 foot plow. That truck was front wheel drive, and he seldom had to lock in the rear wheels while plowing. That truck was unstoppable, and pushed snow better then any truck at the time. A guy he knew couldn't removed slushed over parking lot that had froze over. That 1 Ton Dump Truck removed it with no problem. I don't recall what year that 1 Ton DumpTruck was, but it could really move snow.

Love Ford gassers. Except for the fact that EVERY Ford v8 I’ve had blew manifolds. Lol

I have a 01& 02 durangos with the 4.7 and md75s that I use for plowing and I love them. I do a lot of doctors offices & pharmacies. The tight space maneuverability of them is great. Would like to find a smaller back drag plow for them.

My dad and I have ran dodges for the last 12 years. Started with a Dakota, was impressed with it, bought an 03 2500 regular cab 5.7 Hemi, had that truck from 2011 to 2019, then we bought a 2010 quad cab long bed 2500 5.7 hemi in 2018. The 2 5.7 hemi’s have been great. Both plowed and salted with. Our 2010 we have a dumper Dogg dump bed in with a spreader and we had a brand new v box by salt Dogg in the 03. Only bad is the body and how they rot. But, you take care of em, they’re great!

Watching this makes me want to move out of the Midwest and down to Florida.

I plowed 12 years in adodge with a v plow. Loved every minute of it. Ford owners would ask me to push the snow banks on the sides of the roads. Love the HEMI!!!!!

01 dodge ram 2500 368,000 no rust it's Minnesota not the truck. In fact you can read factory assembly stickers on the frame

I own a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 with a 5.7 Hemi. I may have a slight advantage as I spent 45 years working in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep service departments. The 07 was ordered new and was specifically specked out for towing and winter driving. It spent every summer weekend for it's first 9 years towing a 6000 pound antique tractor 200 miles. I also towed a 28 foot travel trailer with it. the fluids have been changed according to the severe service schedule in the owners manual. The only engine issue was a EGR valve at 125000 miles. The chassis has had one front wheel bearing/hub and two outer tie rod ends. I have had 0 transmission or drive line issue and it still has all of the original u/joints. It spent 8 winters in Michigan, I now live in south Georgia. The only rust is over the rear wheels, just where you pointed out. The original battery lasted 9 years, and I have only had to replace 3 light bulbs. When we moved to Georgia I towed a 7000 pound trailer down the first trip and a U Haul trailer the final trip. No problem ether trip. By contrast my Brotherinlaw towed 5000 pounds down with his 08 GMC truck and almost burned the brakes up on the truck and trailer, lost both front wheel bearings and broke a rear spring. I have kept the Ram longer than any vehicle and would have to say it's the best vehicle I have owned in the over 50 years I have been driving. It now enjoys a easy life here in South Georgia. Where it gets driven less than 6000 miles a year.

I have an '04 Silverado 2500HD with a 6.0L gas engine. Now, I don't plow with it but it is my daily driver and it's used to tow my race car to the drag strip a couple of times/year and hauls my camper. I think that I've used 4WD in one snow storm since I've owned it an it was only because we had 10+ inches. It has the GM "gov-lok" locking rear diff, and the same as Tim's truck, when you have good traction with BOTH rear tires, you don't even really need 4wd for normal driving in the snow.

i have owned dodge for 36 years never had any other truck before.

I’ve been driving different work trucks doing plumbing and my least favorite truck was the gmc 2017 biggest issue is the constant repair issue with electrical and personally The interior sucks it’s already falling apart it’s not that old. My second favorite would have to be dodge pickup of the roomie cab and the amazing towing ability that the truck does for arc plumbing company but still I prefer the Ford pick up F1 50 it’s been a great truck and I like the design better and yeah It may not drive as well or any of that but honestly for what we do and how much I’ve beaten up our truck it’s been pretty good

Ram owner from Northeast. Body shop guy told me in the spring and fall pull the taillights and pressure wash the inside of fenders and box to cut down on rust.

I have the identical dodge in white.had an f250 and I’ll take my dodge any day.i have no rust issues.2016 with 18k miles.great video bud

love my ram cummins, best truck ive ever owned/driven, extended cab and soooooo much freaking room every time i get in back seat to clean it it blows my mind how large the cab is

On the Ford's with the fx4 package it has the locking rear diff option the truck you were using does not the Dodge must come from the factory with a limited slip rear end as where ford only gives you the option to lock it manually by pulling out the 4x4 button

i plowed 10 years with a 1985 GMC jimmy(full size) 6.2 diesel with 7.5 ft meyers. great plow truck. moved up to 1994 GMC Yukon 6.5 diesel with 7.5 Fisher HD. it was an amazing truck for 22 years and 238k miles. Both trucks were short enough to plow cramped spots that pickups had a tought time wit and that Yukon pushed snow that my brother-in-law's 2500 Dodge wouldnt push. nothing wrong with those old GM's!!

I plow with a Ram Cummins and son uses a Ford Powerstroke,we can be in the same lot and the Ford has to be in 4X4 to plow where I can be in 4X2. That Ford hesitations you speak of is a Ford trait that goes back to the Model T. Great video, thanks for sharing.

Not sure if you 14 Ford has a locker or not but my 16 Ford has an e locker by pulling the 4x4 switch out

I don’t think ford “knows when your snowplowing” in terms of seatbelt alarm... after driving a Ford, put it in park, leave engine running, get out of the truck, get back in, and seatbelt alarm stops until engine shuts off again. At least that works for my 2019 f250

When plowing shorter the better but extended cabs are nice for dry secure storage of clothing, tools, and such. I have a gasser ram 4 dr with western 9'6" v-plow. Works great for me. ( I am not a commercial plower.)

Wranglerstar sent me over to your channel and I find this very interesting to watch! I am looking forward to seeing how the Dodge Ram performance! Fun to watch the trucks going backwards plowing snow!👍

The 4th generation Ram boxsides don’t have the rust issues like they did in the 3rd generation.

You need to test the new 2019 HD'S from RAM/DODGE should be on lots soon

Great video. Thanks. I have a 92 f150 with an 8ft cable plow. Bought them new. The heater and radio still work.

Well done show.. I Drive a f-350 206 Diesel..I haul a 27 ft four horse trailer . The horse weigh 2500 lbs each no issue pulling . I drive from San Francisco to LA. Drive i-10 and the grape vine no issue at all

Ram all the way! I have owned 5 dodge trucks 3 chevys, 1 GMC, and countless fords. I love my Ram above all the rest and the least amount of problems

Can you plz do a vid on pre and post season snow plow maintenance

Rust: cab corners, pinch welds across the bottom of the truck, fender wells, and on mine, at the tailgate handle. 2011 Ram 1500 FWD

I think the new Chevy looks great too. Once you think of the upper lights as the "primary" lights and not the lower lights, then it makes sense and looks good.

Please get the new ford with the 7.3. I’d love to see someone actually put them to work

I feel like you emphasized “DODGE ram” just to troll us RAM guys lol

I like extended cabs because i like my tools inside the truck behind me and not taking up space on the Passenger side floor or in a tool box in the back taking up space in the truck bed. I've Plowed with F250/F350 a guy that worked with us had a Dodge it did well. Ford and Dodge are great at pulling and pushing. When you have a decent set up and know your limits you can be successful plowing in most trucks. Hell My beefed up Ranger did half decent believe it or not lol. GREAT VIDEO and detail as usual keep it man!!!

Have a 2010 dodge 1500 4x4 crew cab best trk I've ever owned we had cornerstone ice and my trk drove on the ice like it was a sunny dry day great video

I run a '06 Chevy 2500. Everyone has a brand preference, but I'm sure most will agree, reg cab 8' box is the way to go for plowing. I see tons of 4-door mega cab, 8 foot bed trucks plowing. Do you really want to plow snow in a school bus?

Stan make sure you keep an eye on dodge. There is word they are coming out with a monster v8 to compete with ford. Iv heard 426 hemi like the old days. Btw the chevy looks terrible. Just my 2 cents though haha. Love your videos man.

I highly recommend trying out a Pedal Commander in the ford. Will feel like an absolutely whole new truck. No lag in the power delivery. And it's not a tuner so doesn't screw with any stock tuning parameters

I run a 2010 ram 2500 with 8-10 western extend plow and a 1750 pound capacity salter. Rear leaf springs were upgraded a bit. But in all i love it.

Dodges locking differentials are best in the business. I plow with a ram 2500 cummins 2wd only

I love my dodge zebart rust proof and undercoat you won’t be unhappy

Yup! Our 2013 F-150 at work has that shift “hesitation”

Should give a Duramax a shot. We use them on our farm year around in East Kansas, even when we hit -15 or below during ice storms they still start as long as you've winterized the diesel and plugged in the block heater. Towed 34,000 pounds of cattle with ours going to sale and came upon an accident so had to stop on the way up a decent hill (probably 15° incline) and was still able to grunt and go from a stop mid climb. We abuse everything we own on the farm, tow way to much, put them under water, high center them on limestone boulders, basically anything you shouldn't do we've probably done :)

Hopefully chevy have changed their seats since 2011 i couldnt imagine sitting in those for 12 14 hours
