20 feet of truck in 3 feet of driveway is some kind of magic.
4-wheeler with a blade is pretty normal in central Minnesota. I like to be a good guy but my insurance guy says dropping a plow on the street can be a problem.
Could it be that he would open the garage door and drive over the 3 feet of driveway while going into or out of the garage?
I had a quad with a plow, worked wonders. Sold it (because im an idiot) and went back to a snowblower and now hate my life every times it snows. Nothing like blowing powered snow when it's 5 degrees with a 30+mph frigid north wind blowing all the snow in your face lol. I looked in to the hitch mount back blade style plows, look like they would work ok for a few inches but not sure if they would do well with drifts or packed snow. Talking the wife into a sxs with a plow this fall...
Do you have a lawn mower? throw a cheap blade on it, my parents used one for year and while its not very fast it beat shoveling.

I use ski googles and hooded ski jacket in those conditions.
The snow plow prep package also deleted the 4Auto transfer case on Lariat and up trucks.
I don't even see the prep package offered anymore though. I wonder if it left when the 2018 5.0 came out due to changes in the steering? I had heard one of the reasons the EB wasnt supposed to plow was the electric power steering.

It was still in the early version (8/13/18) of the 2019 F-150 Order Guide.
Availability: XL, XLT and Lariat.
Requires: 4x4, 5.0L V8
Includes: ESOF (so that's why no manual transfer case on Lariats with the snow plow prep).

Yeah, the driveway was not long enough to park a car. So we parked the car in the carport that was in front of the driveway.

Alternative facts! Get one of these, It's easier and has multiple uses.
I have plow for it as well but the blower works better getting and keeping things clear. This has a cup holder to keep the beverage of my choice while doing the driveway.
This is the old gal. It still runs strong after I replaced the motor two years ago. I don't have the heart to let her go after 30 years of putting up with me!
