Snow plow prep package DOES NOT come with any plow brackets/mounts, like that Boss mount on the truck. That is aftermarket only. The plow mount doesn't come with the Alaskan package either. Not sure if you're confusing what's on the truck with what the Alaskan package comes with, but it's spelled out on Chevy's website... Snow plow prep package: Power feed to accommodate a backup and roof emergency light1 A single 220-amp alternator Heavy-duty front springs Under body skid plates to help protect the transfer case from debris Alaskan package: Snow Plow Prep Package Chevytec spray-on bedliner Alaskan Snow Plow Special Edition bedside decal with bear graphic 18" 6-spoke machined aluminum wheels with Silver painted accents Smoked Amber LED roof marker lamps 18" LT275/70R18 all-terrain, blackwall spare tire Skid plates Rubberized vinyl floor covering 18" LT275/70R18E all-terrain, blackwall tires

This is literally a 1500 dollar appearance package with the plow prep package. No heated seats, steering wheel, heated mirrors, engine block heater, trans heater, electronic locking rear, supplemental diesel cab heater, or even rear defrost. All of that is tied up in the 2,400 dollar convince package. If this is a serious plow truck, get a WT truck with the 150 dollar snow plow prep package. You get vinyl seats and floor by default and save a shit ton of money. If you have money to burn or want a really nice plow truck, get a LTZ/high country or denali with a plow prep package and enjoy working in a reasonably luxurious cab. As for the snow tires, they have to sell the trucks with tires all season ready because what if they sell the truck in July when snow tires would be horrible. I would prefer having a second set of wheels and tires for winter months. It takes 30 minutes to switch them. If you are for some reason dead set on a single set of tires for year round, then get yourself a set of inclement weather rated all terrains and keep some chains on you, but either way you're swapping tires and its easier if they just include all seasons you can sell off if you don't want them.

James Mastroianni absolutely, a truck labeled Alaskan should be prepped to operate at -40! Even us Minnesota folk would enjoy that. Why not add an auxiliary diesel fired heater to warm the fuel lines and engine block ? Then you’re earning the name, right? Btw I have been saying for years that journalists have ruined vehicles for winter driving by convincing factories to put low profile tires on. If anyone doubts there is a difference, look at the serious off-roaders... big side walls good flex , nice contact patch ...sure not race car handling but hey NASCAR doesn’t run on snow covered tracks for a reason.

@@tbthedozer the truck comes with 18 inch wheels and I think they run 30-33 inch tires stock so that's still a good size tire. The HDs don't have the low profile tire issue. It's the half tons running like 28s with a 22 inch tire that's problematic.
