If you have an immaculate 22 year old truck absolutely don’t put a plow on it. My 3 year old f350 just got 5500 in front end work and I only plow my own driveway and my job sites.

It will destroy it.

Just out of curiosity how does the plow destroy it?

It just rattles and beats the hell out of it. Depending on the plow it’s 900lbs hung 4-5’ in-front of the front axle. And when you’re plowing and the edge catches something the plow will trip, but it still shakes the hell out of the whole truck. I’d guess I put more wear and tear on my truck in the 20-30 hours of plowing I do a winter than the 40k miles I drive. Plow trucks just take an absolute beating.
