Snow Plow for those
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 21-Nov-02 AT 08:55 PM (EST)]This takes the cake, but I bet it works on all ESOF equiped trucks, including BUSES!!! And yes, it is recyclable

Darn! The site says you shouldn't use it on a public road. I wanted to put one on my truck just to plow other people out of my way during regular driving! Oops... did I say that? ;-)

>That's it , you offended me, I must report you to the authorities.
What? You trying to get the "authorities" to come here more often? SShhhhhh...

That plow design seems useless for clearing a double wide driveway. Maybe a long driveway but how do you pile the snow up with it?

I need it!!! I have hit 3 deer in 3 years 
. I tell the insurance guy, "hey, the kids have gotta eat somehow!" Anyway, it may not be good for snow, but I bet it would deflect deer better than the stock grille does. That plow and a winch in the back to get them into the bed and I wouldn't even be late for work.

I started digging further on that website. To answer Monsta's question, they say that to plow double-wide driveways, you first run a straight path, then run again with half the plow engaging the snow on the perimeter of your initial path. If the snow bank gets too high, they suggest using a regular shovel to thin-out the snow banks. Can you believe that garbage?!?!
To make things worse, that cheap piece of junk actually rests against your bumper! When it pushes snow, it pushes back on your bumper... I do NOT like that thought. I can just imagine the scratches, dents, dings, broken front parking sensors, etc. As a result of their max bumper height requirement, you can't even get them for anything taller than an F-150; they're meant mainly for regular cars, minivans, and smaller SUV's. Heck, they even warn you against getting one for the Expedition unless you're running really small tires!
What I want to know is how someone can effectively clean a driveway with one of these plows when there is no way of lifting them to drag in reverse? This thing permanently rides on the ground. I'll stick to my snow blower, thank you. And if things get really hairy, there's a certain abominable snowman I know with REAL plows! Yeti: do you take customers in Jersey?

This may sound kinda dumb but I'll ask it anyway....Go figure....
What about the air bag sensors, if you were to hit something, like a heave in the driveway, and you were clipping along. Well what happens? Is that what Forty meant by eating Deer Plow? Ouch! Those bags hurt!

It's OK Doug -- we've come to expect less than the most ingelligent banter from you. Ask as many stupid questions as you'd like; I think I speak for everyone when I say we expect nothing else from you.
-- sorry man; had to zing you back for some good jabs you got on me in the past. Said it before, will say it again -- payback is a femal dog!
Seriously, though, they say not to drive over 5 MPH with it attached. And the plows kinda' just skim the surface, so if you hit a high spot they rise up. That's how they get around the airbag issue. Like I said -- cheap piece of junk. What do you expect for a few hundred bucks? Certainly not Yetis setup! Now if only Yeti would get a V plow (not this garbage -- the hydraulic one) he'd be the king of the hill in plow-land.
As for me? I'd rather stick to MY plow setup https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gallery/displaythumbnail.php?&photoid=10347&.jpg (more pics in gallery in case anyone missed the joke before) than order one of those fake plows.
