DO NOT currently make a plow for a Tundra.
Western does make one for the Tacoma and
other small pickups tho ! There are a few
"housey" brand drag along kind being made
for Tundra. Also if you "cob" one on your
Tundra Mr. Toy dealer might give you a
warranty void issues ! AS would any other
make without the snow plow prep option !

The only reason front mount plows are hard to find is simply because the Tundra is a new design.
on the rear of the truck ? Sorrry thats
what i meant about the "housey" plows !
The Tundra is/was meant for home depot
and commuting ! You need a real truck to
plow commercially (spl) you need something
else !
Ask your dealer about plow related issues !
Ask about plow related breakage issues !
Ask about warranty issues........
Don't get fooled !
Ask yourself why nobody makes a real plow
for a Tundra ! But they do make a real
plow for a Taco ! Does that tell ya
something ! Not flaming on this issue
Check first !
BTW : Tundra is a weak POS that can't do
anything ! Why do you think no major plow
mfrs. don't make one for them. But they do
make them for Tacomas ?

truck stuff. Just trying to help a
fellow "plowhead" out. I have plowed
for 12 yrs. . And I have had MANY brands
of trucks ! Just stating facts ! There
is no COMMERCIAL Brand plow currently
being made for Tundra ! Toyota won't
allow one on Tundra. A lot of it has to
do with GVW (gross vehicle weight).
Thats why you can get a plow (western)
for a Tacoma or a few other small pickups !
Ask for CT-Fireman.....He has 2
Tacos that he plows with ! I
know of no one over there with
a commercial plow on a Tundra !
Seems here ya can't get help or
get flamed to death. Ask your
dealer about warranty and plowing
related issues before you do anything !
Good luck again !..geo 12 yrs plowing
with the big boy toys ! Chevy RUN HARD
and PUT AWAY WET !........geo
in Poughkeepsie NY (spl). I have been
there and met a lot of those guys in
PERSON ! Ask over there about me !
CT-fireman, Wolfie, Got grass (mike),
Dino, John Allin ,Rob aka 75V just to
name a few !
Its too bad we Edmunds boys can't get
something like that going! I know
Ryan and a few others have tried to do
this !
Besides when your out plowing
at 3 am and your broke down or stuck
a fellow plowhead WILL stop and HELP
ya out NO MATTER what you drive....geo
As for a rear plow, that is not a snowplow as most plowers think of when asked about but it will work on just about any truck, SUV or car that has a 2" hitch & 4x4.
I've snowplowed now for over 27 yrs. with all kinds of plows & trucks. Snowplows can go on any truck but will the truck hold-up is the real problem, all I can say is his Tundra didn't hold-up so I wouldn't put one on this TOY.

with GVW (gross vehicle weight) as I
was told at a few GM dealers .
GM assumes on a 1/2 xcab with the weight
of the plow and 6 passengers you will
exceed the 6400 ?lb. GVW.
But on a reg cab 1/2 GM with the weight
of plow and 3 passengers you will not
exceed the 6100? GVW.
Thats why I had to go to a 2500 LD xcab
this time ! 8600? lb GVW
They also must have the factory plow
prep. pkg too ! (even ford and mopar)
Or they will void your warranty !
But some dealers don't care and will
warranty anything as far as plowing
related breakage !
And many plow dealers and mfrs. will NOT
install plows on certian truck models !
Weird huh ?........geo...my 2 cents
BTW: please correct me on them GVW
rates if I am wrong..Quoting from
my feeble memory......LOL !
