hey a friend of mine has a 2000 ford ranger and wants to sell his plow will this work on my truck

get the correct accessories to run it yes... ive seen explorers with plows before, but...

be mindful that the plow has the potential to put a good bit of stress on the front suspension, and transmission. as long a you plow " smart " you will be fine...

Check with the manufacturer of the plow... Their website should have all the info you need if you look hard enough.. I just bought a sno-way plow off a guy who had it on a 2000 Ranger... It will mount directly to my 2001 Sport Trac. The Sno-Way website showed it was compatible with the early 2000's explorers as well...

Be careful as you may need to replace the light harnesses which are vehicle specific.. This could add up to $300 to your purchase....

'Plowsite' is an excellent resource for more information...

Fisher homesteader plow

Hello everyone.

Advice/Pointers?
I have a 03 eddiebauer explorer.
V6. Nice condition and I am thinking about putting one of the new fisher homesteader plows on it for 3995.00 installed. It only weighs 250 lbs and looking at you tube vids looks like it plows real well. BTW I am only using this for my Drvwy wich is long and skinny. Maybe some of the neighbors.
Anyone have one already? what do you think and do I need to beef up my Frnt end. I already have 4 new quick struts going in. We all know how these frnt ends are. I have had 5 of them. Anyone?

Personally I would do it without much thought. Hell a weight distributing hitch puts about that much weight on the front end anyway...
