Adding a Snow Plow or Similar

Equipment

Before installing a snow plow on your vehicle,

here are some things you will need to know:

Notice: If your vehicle does not have the

snow plow prep package, adding a plow can

damage your vehicle, and the repairs would not

be covered by warranty. Unless your vehicle

was built to carry a snow plow, do not add one

to your vehicle. If your vehicle has the snow

plow prep package, called RPO VYU, then

the payload your vehicle can carry will

be reduced when a snow plow is installed.

Your vehicle can be damaged if either the front

or rear axle ratings or the Gross Vehicle

Weight (GVW) are exceeded.

Q: How do I know if my vehicle can handle a

snow plow?

A: Some vehicles are built with a special snow

plow prep package, called RPO VYU. If your

vehicle has this option, you can add a

plow to it, provided certain weights, such as

the weights on the vehicle’s axles and

the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), are not

exceeded.

Q: How heavy can a snow plow safely be?

A: The plow your vehicle can carry depends on

many things, such as:

• The options your vehicle came with, and the

weight of those options.

• The weight and number of passengers you

intend to carry.

• The weight of items you have added to your

vehicle, like a tool box or truck cap.

• The total weight of any additional cargo you

intend to carry.
