Why not? I don't believe the concerns about the cooling, electric steering, or weight.
Cooling? I assume you plow your snow in the winter, not summer? If the Ford has enough air flow to stay cool at a red light on a hot summer day, I suspect plowing snow in the winter will be fine.
Electric steering? Snow plow or not -steering doesn't take much strain when you're moving and snow adds some "slip."
Weight? Lots of 1/2 ton rigs around with snow plows. My best plow truck is a 1983 Chevy K5 diesel Blazer. 1/2 ton and short. Handier then any of my bigger trucks since it's so short. I don't drive around all year with a plow dangling from the front. I take it off when not used.

Only had two repairs since new. New oil pan (old one rusted out) and universal joints dried out in the rear driveshaft. I find it hard to believe a new Ford F150 Ecoboost cannot do what a 1995 F150 can do.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
