The Fishers are overbuilt and really heavy. Doesn't make much sense to put that heavy sob on a homeowner rig or on anything less then a 1 ton. It also didn’t make sense to spend the money difference to upgrade to 1 tons and have a plow that was built for 50 years when the trucks were lucky to make it 5 years. We used Westerns on 3/4 ton GM trucks. They were quick and pretty agile for a plow truck. The 1 ton salt trucks we had got Westerns too... that way we only had to keep a small inventory of parts.
