OMG! The salt is everywhere in the back of that truck. I'm pretty sure I could find a better truck to do that job with. Like one I cared a lot less about ;)

Plowing snow beats the hell out of any truck never mind a TRX. I can think of much less expensive trucks to use if you want to destroy it by plowing. Plus it looks way over weight with the sander in the bed lol

Just the spreader empty is around the payload capacity of the truck, probably put easily 1K of salt in the hopper. Where's the payload police when you need them?? LOL

That's a big fail right there. I'm sure it sounded like a good idea and the concept drawing was epic. End product not so much.

Any thoughts on using a TRX to plow snow?
It looks feasible..

The salt spreader might be a bit much..
WHY anyone would use like a 90K plus TRX truck to do plowing and such, when you could get a 2500 or 3500 to do it and maybe a lil cheaper just makes me go, Holy Crapola Batman, LOL. But, is owners truck, some people just got more money and/or lack of common sense, kinda amusing. :anitoof: Just IMHO...

What , is that not cool???, Mind you I am more into A-W , never had a complaint, But While I don't drive a TRX, I would never pot a plow , or spreader on it. A fell around here fills his with sand , but that is a old 3/4T from when no one gave a damn about overloaded, as long as the bumper did not drag. Steering gets nice and light.
