Fisher has a new plow with "down pressure" now for light duty trucks. It's much lighter than their regular commercial unit so the light duty truck won't sag as much in the front when it's lifted. But being much lighter means it absolutely needs down pressure.
I've heard mixed reviews on them.
Probably great for the home owner but I don't think I would buy one if I had a lot of drive ways to do.
