Default Snow plow install

Hi all, just wondering if anyone knows if you can install a snow plow on the Macan and if so, what brand. Thanks in advance.

You would need to find a front receiver hitch, as that maybe the only real way to do it. There's several plows for SUV's but they used a receiver hitch mounted on the front of the vehicle to mount the plow. Depending on where you are, this won't be worth your time, get a pickup or snow blower.

i doubt any one offers a kit for the car. that said if you really feel the need to do it contact your closest plow dealer.............with enough money and a welder it could be done adapting another plow frame

Thanks for the replies. I think Todd B is right, a matter of finding a receiving hitch. I am in a big city so there are auto hitch businesses around that could install it. IMHO, easier than taking care of, maintaining and possibly storing another vehicle. I will post an update during the winter if I have a Macan with such a set up.

Pay a guy with a ****ty truck and a plow $25 to do it each time it snows. Probably cheaper than adding plow to macan.

Porsche's aren't made for plowing. Buy a Lambo if you need to move some snow...

Looks more like a 944 or 968.

You have obviously never plowed snow before, it is absolutely brutal on a vehicle, and certainly more so on a unibody vehicle designed to haul your wife's shoes home from the mall, not a plow. If the Macan was plow vehicle of choice, I would certainly buy one, instead of the $60,000 diesel 3/4 ton 4wd I have. Very poor choice, if you are simply trying to save money, as you will more than likely not do that.
