I gotta ask...

Does that truck actually get Negative MPG with that plow attached?

That's what I want, a car where the tank slowly fills up as I drive it. *grin*

Either that van is a 4x4 in disguise or its used to plow real light snow.
Can't see how a regular rear-drive would be up to pushing a plow.

A.D. Gets the prize, I was just having some fun.

I just parked real close to a customers plow. laugh

I really took the picture to have fun with my boss and the companies "Of Course We Can" Motto.

The truck has a 10,000 GVWR and could handle the plow but without all wheel drive would need tire chains to be remotely effective.

The Chevy Express 1500 is available w/ all wheel drive, add a set of Blizzaks and you should be able to handle plow duty smile
Posted By: Rewired Re: Complete Customer Satisfaction - 03/14/07 01:24 AM
Yes BUT... "All wheel drive" and a true 4x4 are not the same..
Granted the all wheel drive on the Chev express would get you through the tough stuff, God knows I wanted it on my work van the last time we had snow, BUT a true Part time or Full time 4x4 such like the part time 4x4 on my Ram would be more suited to plow duty because it does not rely on clutches, filled with viscus fluid like on some all wheel drive systems AND it has a " low range" built into the transfer case. Low range is a MUST for heavy plowing or pulling things out of ditches laugh

Good Stuff, Bob! laugh

I was thinking more of demolition work when I saw the blade, rather than snow-plough.

Look at the 'rake' on that van!

She's ready for street and strip.

Or perhaps stripping the street.

Such a front load must be hell on the alignment.
