Other than the 6.2L trucks, the F150 is equipped with EPAS - electronic steering. Plow use is contraindicated on trucks with this system because of the significant electrical demand of constant turning, combined with low engine RPM and thus low alternator output.
As with anything, they have to prove that the aftermarket accessories caused the damage. Expect a fight on anything involving the suspension, EPAS, front axle, potentially even cooling/motor/transmission.
If you do decide to do it, remember this is a half-ton truck. Keep the plow size reasonable, minimize electric draw, consider a bigger alternator and/or additional batteries, keep the engine RPM up, and equip the truck for it - heavy payload package, etc.

If the installation or use of any aftermarket product causes the failure of a part on your truck, the cost of the repair and any related damages are not covered by your warranty. If you have questions, I recommend reaching out to the service manager of your dealership directly.
