LOL good point. However, remember, we got 16" last year and it stuck around for 2 weeks. That was 2 blizzards back to back. Hopefully it wont happen again, but just in case it does it sure would be nice to be setup. That way when I "man up" I can do it! LOL

Go with the 7.5' if you're scoring a deal, and add wings on it, they'll put you over 8'. Gives you the option to pop them off if needed for real heavy/wet stuff then too.

i like that one.but you'd need the correct push plates for the 9th gen truck to hook her up.
MM is the way to go.no heavy headgear on the truck yr round.

feast your eyes on my fisher 8' mm1 por-15/top coated flexcote yellow ADT.

(NOT the one listed for sale.sorry.

Since we are all talking about the 351w as a plow truck. My 91 f250 351w plow truck does pretty good. Were too lazy at my house to take the time to plow with the storm. We just do my driveway. Has 4.10 gears, 5 speed. Just stick her in 1st and rev the crap out of it (after its warmed up). My low range doesn't work shift fork is broken in the transfer case. dana 50 ttb the one rated at 4600lbs fgawr. If it wasn't for the crazy snow we got last year. I'd probably sell this truck but it only cost me a grand (with plow) and a few hundred in some upkeep. Plus its 4x4 and a 5 speed which my idi isn't. Sucks the gas used half a tank doing my driveway
