Book. These instructions are available through your Ford dealer. They

include the list of vehicle models recommended for snowplowing and

snowplow weight limits. Use of the Snowplow Package Option, or its

equivalent, along with these instructions will help avoid possible

powertrain and chassis damage from snowplowing.

Ford does not install snowplows.

The Front and Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR), Gross Vehicle

Weight Rating (GVWR), Total Accessory Reserve Capacity (TARC) and

tire inflation pressures are found on the Safety Compliance Certification

Label located on the of the vehicle’s door jambs. This label is applied to

all vehicles completed by Ford Motor Company. Incomplete vehicles built

by Ford Motor Company will have an Incomplete Vehicle Label in place

of the Safety Compliance Label. The TARC does not apply to Incomplete

Vehicles and will not be shown on the Incomplete Vehicle Label.

The weight of the vehicle with occupants must never exceed the Front

and Rear GAWR or the GVWR.

The TARC is the weight of the permanently attached equipment that can

be added to the vehicle without violating the vehicle’s Safety Compliance

Certification. This includes the snowplow mounting hardware but does

not include the removable portion of the snowplow assembly.

Tires have their maximum inflation pressure and associated load rating

imprinted on the tire sidewall. This pressure may or may not be the

same as that shown as recommended on the vehicle. Tire inflation

pressure may be sufficient to carry the load of the vehicle as it is

operated. The vehicle operator may have to adjust the tire inflation

pressure to a value different than what is recommended on the vehicle

to accommodate the snowplow and payload. Consult your dealer or

equipment installer for help with proper tire air inflation pressures.

Adding or removing a snowplow may require adjustment to the front

wheel alignment and headlight aim. These specifications can be found in

the vehicle’s Workshop Manual. Proper wheel alignment is necessary for

optimum tire wear and vehicle handling.

Follow the severe duty schedule for engine oil and transmission fluid

change intervals.

Federal and some local regulations require additional exterior lamps for

snowplow-equipped vehicles. Consult your dealer for additional

information.
