A truck-mounted snow plow can cost as little as $1,299 to over $4,000 depending on the brand, size, and features of the plow itself. With so many plow designs available, the best way to choose a snow plow for your truck is to first determine what kind of plow you need. If you're plowing a small piece of property, a manual plow might be all you need. For larger properties, a plow with full in-cab controls for angling and lifting may be required. We explain the different snow plow designs and their respective price ranges so you can choose the best snow plow for your truck.

Manually Operated Snow Plows

Manually operated truck plows start around $1,300 and are the most simple, affordable truck plows available. With no electronic or hydraulic components involved, the plow simply attaches to your truck (usually via a 2-inch hitch receiver) and is ready for operation. Since there are no remote control mechanisms, raising and lowering the plow must be done by hand. If the plow has an angling feature, this will also be accomplished manually.

Electric Lift Snow Plows

If manually lifting and lowering your snow plow blade sounds tedious, consider choosing a plow with an electric lift motor. This allows the plow to be raised and lowered from the warmth of your cab using a remote control. Electric snow plows start around $1,849.00 and often include automatic angling, a mechanism that allows the plow blade to position itself at the best angle for whatever job you're doing. Choose electric if you don't need full control of your plow's angling, but you do want to raise and lift it from the cab.

Hydraulic Snow Plows

Starting at $3,659, hydraulic snow plows are the ultimate weapon against the worst winter has to offer. All lifting and angling is controlled remotely, so you don't have to leave your cab until the job is done. With this plow design, you'll have a finer degree of control over the positioning of your plow than with manual or electric plows. To get the job done as quickly as possible with the best results, choose a hydraulic plow.
