What he said. The extra weight in the front puts too much strain on the electronic steering assist.

That being said, I've seen plenty of trucks with plows. Just don't get the 8 foot V plow and you're good!

Yup. The old frames were C rail whereas our 12th gens are dual boxed frames...far superior to the old frames.
