This truck is pretty useless in Canada if you cannot put a plow on in, it is a 4x4 truck not a dam Focus. The main reason I bought the dam thing was to plow my driveway. Now im gonna have to shovel around it if I dont drive it through the dealers showroom first. Anyone want to but a girls truck?

2011 Harley Davidson AWD
More from the 2011 owner's manual, page 319:
Snow plow restriction
WARNING: Ford does not recommend the use of any F-150 model to be upfitted and equipped with snow plow hardware for use as a snow plow vehicle.
However, on page 19, Ford apparently forgot to revise this section which references snow plowing:
4. Transmission fluid temperature gauge: If the gauge is in the:
Normal area The transmission fluid is within the normal operating temperature (between H and C).
Yellow area The transmission fluid is higher than normal operating temperature. This can be caused by special operation conditions (i.e. snowplowing, towing or off-road use). Refer to Special operating conditions in the scheduled maintenance information for instructions. Operating the transmission for extended periods of time with the gauge in the yellow area may cause internal transmission damage.
