snow plow package question
first of all, how do f150s plow?
they offer the package, and with it, you have to get the heavy payload package as well.
does this make the right rougher or does it not change it much?

If its just your driveway, and you don't live in North Dakota then I would say you would probably be better off just paying to have someone do it.

It does require the Heavy-Duty Payload Package, as one would imagine.

Per the 2010 F-150 Order Guide (07/01/09):
SNOW PLOW PREP PACKAGE (62S)
Usage: Increases GVWR
Availability:
If you look up the Heavy Duty Payload Package, it is limited to XL & XLT trim levels....among other limitations.
Judging by the weights listed on the 4th & 5th bullet points, I am assuming that those are the plow weights referenced on the 3rd bullet point. However, I am not sure what the "Restrictions apply" note indicates.
As others have stated, 4x4 + heavy duty payload package = will definitely put you into ride quality belonging to a truck.
SNOW PLOW PREP PACKAGE (62S)
Usage: Increases GVWR
Availability:
- Requires Heavy Duty Payload Package (627)
- 4x4 only
- Maximum snow plow weight, including permanent attachments: See Bodybuilders Layout Book for more details)
- Regular Cab 750lbs. (700lbs. plow + 50lbs for permanent attachment)
- Super Cab 610lbs. (560lbs. plow + 50lbs for permanent attachment)
- Spring upgrades

Ok guys i have a question. What happens when you plow a road and there's an exposed drain cover sticking out the road by a few inches? I seen so many like that around this area and we get some good snow here at times. Wouldn't it mess up the plow blade? or worse damage the truck?

Bsimmer...most modern plows are either trip edge or trip blade design...so...unless you're a mainiac...you shouldn't cause any damage to your plow or truck.
To the original poster...an F-150 with plow package upgrade not only rides very similar to an F-250...it costs nearly the same also.

Not only would I not mount a plow to a 1/2 of today, I'd get a 4x4 ATV and a blade or blower attachment, more fun.
