Bye F150, hello F250
It might fit, BUT, you will have to stiffen up the front end to prevent the sag. The plow, mounts, and all hoses will weigh about 1000 lbs which might be more than your front GAWR, and it will certainly cause the front end to point down, which will unload your rear end, which leads to loss of traction, .... There is a lot of extras with snowplowing than just the fit. Check the web for snowpushers/plowers forums. Lts of info out there.
Good luck.
