    Has any one looked into snow plow options for the new Tundra? I have one ordered and I would like to get a snow plow for it for my anticipated 100 yard driveway.

    I just checked the BOSS website and they do not yet have a mount available for the 2022 Tundra. It generally takes them a few months to release mounts on redesigns or new generation vehicles.

    I had a 7'6" BOSS HTX straight blade on my 2017 Tundra (crewmax, off road package) for 3 winters. My driveway is about 1/4 mile total with a steep grade and 2 cul de sacs. The BOSS HTX plow and mount setup is great and it is the only one that I would recommend.

    However, in my experience the Tundra is a terrible vehicle for plowing. Even with 500lbs of ballast in the bed it struggled with deep/heavy snow and the long wheelbase destroys your maneuverability.

    I have since put a BOSS V-Plow on a Polaris Ranger and couldn't be happier. It's night and day compared to plowing with the Tundra.

    Yes, I agree. It will almost certainly require cutting up or removing that lower valance section.

    Two more thoughts for the OP.....
    1) once that mount goes on, you're not taking it off seasonally unless you are extremely ambitious. I did not like having it on my truck in the off-season. you lose front clearance, diminish your entry angle, and have no skidplate.
    2) depending on the trim level of your Tundra, you might need to do something with the front suspension. I put Timbren bump stops on my '17 Off Road. I think a Tundra without the off road package would nose dive with that much weight. My 2015 Tundra Limited was very "mushy" and could never have handled it.

    Hmm, appreciate the responses. We are building on a new property with a 100y driveway. Trying to short out how to get the lawn, snow removal equipment sorted out. Sounds like a 4 wheeler with a plow might be a good option or snow blower on a larger 4x4 lawn tractor.

    Save your truck and buy a dedicated piece of snow removal equipment. I have a long driveway and use to do it with the truck but it's just not that maneuverable. I sold the plow and bought a used Kubota RTV500 and mounted a 7 1/2' plow on it. Works great and I'm only in it for around $12K (CDN). A new plow is around 10K. In the summer the Kubota puts my small fishing boat in the lake and drags around a 10' piece of railway track to level out my roadway.

    I also have 3 acres of grass to cut and use a zero turn lawn mower to get the job done.

    We have a slightly shorter driveway than yours and 2.5+ acres of grass. I have a Kubota BX with a front snow blade and the mid-mount mower. The blade works for me as we average a bit over 4 ft of snow/year. If I wanted to spend more I'd look at a zero-turn as they are more maneuverable but the BX does a good job and is sort of a jack-of-all trades tool.
