BOSS Snow Plows: Every Model in the Current Lineup

A model-by-model breakdown of the BOSS truck-plow range — XT, DXT, TEV, EXT, HTX, Super Duty and HD+ — covering trip systems, specs, vehicle classes and current dealer pricing.

BOSS DXT V-plow mounted on a work truck

BOSS Products builds snow plows in three configurations — V-plows, expandable plows and straight blades — for half-ton through medium-duty trucks. The current BOSS snow plow lineup includes nine model families, each built around a specific trip system and vehicle class. This guide covers every model with specs, trip-system differences and dealer pricing from fall 2026.

V-plows — XT, DXT and TEV

BOSS offers three V-plows for 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks. The difference between them is the trip system, and the trip system determines where each plow works best.

BOSS XT (full-trip). The entire moldboard pivots forward when it strikes an obstacle. That keeps the cutting edge from digging into gravel, frost heaves and rough terrain. The XT comes in six variants: 8’2″ and 9’2″ widths in 11-gauge steel, 14-gauge 304 stainless steel or 0.375-inch poly. The lightest model (8’2″ steel) weighs 785 lb; the heaviest (9’2″ stainless) is 882 lb. For a full breakdown of every XT variant, fitment limits and pricing, see the BOSS XT plow review.

BOSS DXT (dual-trip). The DXT combines a trip-edge for low-profile obstacles (manhole covers, speed bumps, raised pavement markers) with a full moldboard trip for larger impacts. That dual protection makes it the standard choice for paved commercial lots. The DXT comes in 8’2″ and 9’2″ widths in steel, stainless and poly, plus a 10′ steel model for medium-duty trucks. Weights range from 868 lb (8’2″ steel) to 1,205 lb (10′ steel). The DXT is the only BOSS V-plow that offers the optional D-Force hydraulic down-pressure system, which maintains consistent blade contact on smooth pavement.

BOSS V-Plow Models Compared — comparison of XT vs DXT vs TEV: Trip system: Full moldboard / Dual (edge + moldboard) / Trip-edge; 8’2" steel weight: 785 lb / 868 lb / 925 lb (stainless); Widths: 8’2“, 9’2” / 8’2“, 9’2”, 10’ / 8’2“, 9’2”; …
All three V-plows share SmartHitch 2, SmartTouch+ and SL4 LED headlights. The differences are trip system, material options and weight. · Infographic: Snow & Ice America

BOSS TEV (trip-edge). The TEV is BOSS’s newest V-plow, introduced for the 2025 season. It uses a trip-edge only — no full moldboard trip — making it the lightest-tripping option for paved surfaces. The TEV is stainless steel only (14-gauge 304) in 8’2″ and 9’2″ widths. The 8’2″ weighs 925 lb and the 9’2″ weighs 989 lb. It ships with Cold Front Technology, SL4 headlights and SmartHitch 2 standard.

The trip system is the deciding factor between these three models. Straight blade vs V-plow vs winged plow covers the broader blade-type decision; within the BOSS V-plow range, the choice comes down to surface type:

  • Gravel, dirt, frost heaves: XT (full-trip keeps the edge from catching)
  • Paved lots with curbs and obstacles: DXT (dual-trip handles both edge-height and full-blade obstacles)
  • Paved lots, minimal large obstacles: TEV (trip-edge only, clean scrape, no moldboard trip weight)

EXT expandable plow

The BOSS EXT is the only expandable plow in the BOSS lineup. It runs 8 feet wide in the retracted position and expands to 10 feet with independently controlled wings that pitch forward for snow carrying. It uses a full-trip moldboard with four trip springs and one shock absorber.

The EXT is steel only (11-gauge), weighs 970 lb, and is rated for 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks. It shares the same SmartHitch 2 mount, SL4 headlights with ClearBeam Technology and Cold Front Technology wiring as the current V-plow models.

The expandable design fills a gap between a standard V-plow and a winged plow: it can windrow at 10 feet of width while still stacking and back-dragging at 8 feet. Contractors running mixed routes — open lots plus narrow lanes — get both modes from one plow without swapping blades.

Half-ton and straight-blade plows

Not every BOSS plow is a V-plow. The straight-blade range covers half-ton trucks, 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks, and medium-duty vehicles.

BOSS HTX plow — V-plow (half-ton). The HTX V-plow is BOSS’s only V-plow rated for half-ton trucks. It comes in a 7’6″ width in steel or stainless (the 8′ model is stainless only). The stainless 8′ model weighs 550 lb. It uses a full-trip system with two trip springs, SL3 LED headlights with Ice Shield Technology, and SmartHitch 2. It does not include Cold Front Technology or SL4 headlights.

HTX straight blade (half-ton). Available in 7’0″ and 7’6″ widths in steel, poly or stainless. Weights range from 367 lb (7’0″ poly) to 440 lb (7’6″ steel or stainless). This is the lightest plow BOSS makes.

Super Duty straight blade (3/4-ton and 1-ton). Available in full-trip and trip-edge variants from 7’6″ to 9’0″ in steel, and 8′ and 9′ in stainless for the trip-edge models. Weights range from 680 lb to 897 lb depending on size, material and trip type. The Super Duty shares the same vehicle class as the V-plows but suits operators who prefer a straight blade for windrowing.

HD+ straight blade (medium-duty). The HD+ is built for medium-duty trucks with 7-gauge steel construction and a 34.75-inch blade height. It comes in 9′ and 10′ widths. This is a commercial-fleet plow, not a pickup-truck plow.

Shared technology across the lineup

BOSS snow plows share a set of common technologies across the lineup. Not all models carry every feature — the HTX line runs the previous-generation lighting and wiring.

Cold Front Technology is a single-plug electrical connection between the plow and truck. It replaces the older multi-connector setup, reduces installation time, and is now standard on the XT, DXT, TEV, EXT and HD+ models (2026 model year).

SmartHitch 2 is BOSS’s receiver-style attachment. One person can drive into the mount, connect the harness and hydraulic couplers, and have the plow ready without tools. It is standard across the entire truck-plow lineup.

SL4 LED headlights with ClearBeam Technology replaced the earlier SL3 units on the XT, DXT, TEV, EXT and Super Duty models. BOSS rates them at double the output of halogen systems. The HTX models still ship with SL3 headlights and Ice Shield Technology.

SmartTouch+ is the current handheld controller. It includes two programmable auxiliary buttons for accessories (lights, spreader controls). It replaces the older SmartTouch2 on all models with Cold Front Technology.

SmartShield is a multi-stage powder-coat paint system applied to every steel and stainless model for salt-corrosion resistance.

D-Force is an optional hydraulic down-pressure system available on the DXT (8’2″ and 9’2″ models only, not the 10′). It maintains consistent blade-to-ground contact on smooth pavement without driver adjustment.

Pricing

BOSS snow plow pricing varies by model, material and dealer. BOSS does not publish MSRP. All prices below are from authorized dealer listings in fall 2026 and vary by region, installation and whether the quote includes the truck-side mount kit.

V-plows (plow side only):

  • XT 8’2″ steel: approximately $6,700–$6,900
  • XT 8’2″ stainless: approximately $7,300–$10,100
  • XT 9’2″ stainless: approximately $9,850–$10,300
  • DXT 8’2″ steel: approximately $10,400
  • DXT 9’2″ steel: approximately $10,600
  • DXT 9’2″ stainless: approximately $11,400
  • DXT 10′ steel: approximately $11,400
  • HTX 7’6″ steel V-plow (installed): approximately $7,000

Expandable:

  • EXT 8’–10′ steel: approximately $8,900–$11,100

These are snapshot prices from individual dealers, not guaranteed retail. Stainless commands a premium over steel. The DXT consistently lists $500–$1,000 above the equivalent XT model, reflecting the dual-trip mechanism. The 10′ DXT sits at the top of the range. Before buying, run a pre-season equipment check that includes confirming the plow weight plus ballast stays within both axle ratings, and check the BOSS online vehicle fitment guide for exact truck compatibility.

How to choose a BOSS plow

The decision starts with two questions: what surface are you plowing, and what truck is carrying the plow?

Surface type picks the trip system. Gravel, dirt or uneven terrain means a full-trip plow (XT or EXT) — a trip-edge will catch and dig in. Paved commercial lots with manhole covers and curbs suit the DXT’s dual-trip or the TEV’s trip-edge. Flat residential driveways with no obstacles can use any trip type.

Truck class picks the model family. Half-ton trucks are limited to the HTX V-plow or HTX straight blade. Three-quarter-ton and 1-ton trucks can run the XT, DXT, TEV, EXT or Super Duty. Medium-duty vehicles (Class 4–6) open up the 10′ DXT and HD+ straight blade.

Blade type picks the job. V-plows stack, scoop and windrow. Straight blades windrow and back-drag. The EXT expandable does both at adjustable widths. For a broader comparison of blade types, see straight blade vs V-plow vs winged plow.

Operators comparing BOSS against other brands should also look at the Western vs Meyer snow plows comparison for context on how BOSS’s trip systems and pricing stack up in the broader market.
