Product Details
When it’s time to Restore Order, trust the BOSS Powder-Coated Steel HTX Straight Blade to back you up and keep you moving through the storm.
Built with the same power and reliability as BOSS full-size straight-blade plows, the Steel HTX Straight Blade is specifically designed for half-ton trucks. Its compact yet rugged design delivers unmatched performance, making it the ideal choice for clearing driveways and small business parking lots with ease.
The Steel HTX Straight Blade is engineered with a strong, durable push frame and equipped with a full moldboard trip system for superior protection. When the plow encounters obstacles, the entire blade trips forward, absorbing the impact and reducing stress on both the plow and truck. This advanced design cushions the blow, minimizes damage, and ensures your equipment stays reliable and ready to tackle the toughest winter storms season after season.
- SL3 L.E.D. HEADLIGHTS - 100% L.E.D. system with nearly double the light output of standard halogen systems
- SMARTSHIELD PAINT - Sets the standard for supreme quality, corrosion protection, and lasting durability.
- OPTIONAL D-FORCE - Improve your backdragging abilities with D-Force!

SL3 L.E.D. With Ice Shield
SL3 headlight package, standard on every BOSS truck plow, shines brighter and farther than traditional halogen packages and is equipped with Ice Shield Technology. With best-in-class 100% LED lighting, integrated with Ice Shield Technology to prevent snow and ice build-up on the lens, these headlights use half the amperage of halogen systems and have an 8-10 year life expectancy. The SL3 headlights are also 40% smaller than SmartLight2 lights and yet much more powerful with the signature BOSS premium look you expect. Not compatible with Cold Front Technology Electrical System.

Enclosed Hydraulics
Delivers speed and reliability and is protected from the elements to prevent corrosion and hydraulic freeze-up.
Reinforced Moldboard
Diagonal cross-bracing and formed bottom channel increase blade rigidity.
Chainless Hydraulic Lift
The chainless hydraulic cylinder lifting system from BOSS uses a chainless, hydraulic lift system, which greatly reduces snowplow bounce and provides full float capabilities.
Full Moldboard Trip
The entire blade trips forward when obstacles are encountered to protect the truck and plow from damage.
Optional D-Force
Improve backdragging performance by adding D-Force to your new Super-Duty, Standard-Duty and HTX straight-blade plow, or your new 8'2" DXT and 9'2" DXT v-blade plow. D-Force improves scraping performance while backdragging by maintaining a consistent hydraulic down force powered by a hydraulic accumulator. D-Force is an optional accessory on new truck plow purchases and must be added at the time of purchase. D-Force includes D-Force specific plow box and controller. Retrofit kits are not available. (Excludes EXT, Heavy-Duty, Trip-Edge and Drag Pro plows.)

Only minor issue was one of the small thumb screws holding access cover fell out. This is my second BOSS straight blade and when traveling with it, the trucks temperature tends to rise higher than normal range. Lowering the blade to the safest level above the road helps, but if you could look at some small air scoops possibly by the lights to direct air flow to the radiator may be useful in future designs.

performs well, just not enough snow this year for full testing

needs more that two trip springs as blade folds over too easy. swing cylinders seem to overload and deflect vary easily. On the positive, it is very easy to dissconect.
