I live in Northern Maine where snowplows are a very common sight. I do not see very many on Rangers. They do make plows out of materials other than steel (fiberglass??) that are very light weight. The Ranger is a tough little truck, of that there is no doubt what-so-ever but it was not designed to carry a heavy snowplow or slam into frozen snow banks. That being said, I've seen a snowplow on a Subaru and, an even an old Ford LTD station wagon.

Some guy around here plows all winter for many people in his ranger. He's go it lifted some and a lot of weight in the back to compensate for the plow.
