Anyone looking at getting a snow plow attaching to front hooks?

[the long way downunder]

On second thought, it should be a piece of cake to add a snowplow to a Rivian …

I personally wouldn't. Plows are extremely hard on the suspension of trucks and the only ones really made to do it are 2500 class and above. If I had to move snow still, thankfully I'm in a warm place now, I would use my John Deere 1023E with the front end loader to do it.

You can get one of them for roughly 16-19k with the hydraulic loader on it or used for a fair amount cheaper. You're not going to break one of those with snow, and you have the added benefit of being able to lift it up and deposit large snow. If you're in an area with really heavy snowfall the ability to relocate large snow drifts would make it superior to a plow for not a ton of extra cost. Plus you can mow your lawn with it too.

I’m not sure if this is possible. I’ve seen comments, not in relation to any particular product, that the R1T isn’t suited/strong enough (attachment points?)to do this.

this would really be a game changer for me because the area I have to clear is close to 3-4000 ft.². And my snowblower doesn’t work well with wet snow which is pretty common here.

what are your thoughts on this? Found anything?

Use the same setup they have for the Rolls Royce Cullinan

Adding a plow to a Rivian is like stretching a Pinto into a limousine.

The Rivian's R1T front end can't handle a snow plow as per my conversations with Rivian.

Let me add that Ford will not confirm or deny that the Lightning can take a plow. I assume it can given its front end design but the lack of a commitment by Ford on this grinds my gears.
