Visited a dealer on 8/17 to look over the 2011 w/ecoboost engine to replace my 2001 F150. Mentioned that I have a Western plow and would want a plow on the new truck. Was told that no plow is currently available because the electronics for the plow control interfere with the electronics for the electric power steering. According to the salesman, a couple of plow manufacturers (one is Fisher) are working to develop a plow package that totally separates the electrical circuits to prevent this "interference." FYI, I have a Western mid-weight plow and have had no problems with it on the 2001. Hope that helps.
