Default Snow Plow

Did a quick search and didn't see anything.

I am thinking of putting a plow on my 04 FX4 to do my driveway and my dads. Has anyone plowed with a 150? What are some concerns for the long term life of the truck?

Where I work we have a 2003 f150 with a 5.4 reg cab longbed 4x4... We got a snow plow on it and it does good... You need tire chains and have to keep it in lowest gear possible

My Father In-Law was looking at the new F-150's and he was told (I don't from who) that he shouldn't use a snow plow because it will mess up the powersteering. Can anyone confirm this becuase now he is looking at Chevy.

The electric PS system in the new F150s isn't set up for plowing, and won't stand up to the abuse.

Thanks for the response. That's what he was told, so I was just making sure it wasn't from a sales person from another dealership.

Thanks again,
