Sorry if its been covered, but whats with no plow available for the 1500 Rams?

Called several Boss/Western dealers.....nope, 2012 and older, yes, my 2019...nope.

They tell me has something to do with "electric steering".

Also, I'm just looking for very light duty (little more then my Honda Rancher can handle) snow removal. I own a restaurant with a large (40 cars?) parking lot, and just want to be able to tidy up all the ice chunks people kick off, and maybe a 2" light snowfall. My "plow guy" will handle the big stuff still.

TIA

Usually a 2500 is recommended for plowing. I have seen a lot of 1500's or SUV's like Ford Broncos wreck the transmissions from plowing. For light duty plowing like you are doing it would probably be OK, but the drivetrain isn't really strong enough for it.

I say hand a shovel to a busboy and have him tidy up the lot. You can have your regular service do the 2" stuff for a lot of tines for what you'd tie up in a plow.

Get a beater 3/4 or 1-ton that already has a plow. (On second thought, having a rusting POS sitting in your lot a year may not be the best representation of your restaurant)
