Im thinking of getting a snow plow for my 96 dakota 4x4 5spd. Anyone else have a similar setup. I think the v6 is enough right? Also, what kind of plows fit on this truck. Im looking for a used one, any particular one to look for? How much weight should i add to the rear? I'm just wondering if this would be a good truck to put a plow on or if I should look for a different truck. I'd probably do a couple of driveways every time it snowed.

 

there is a guy around town by me running a plow on his first gen. I havent ben able to catch him yet to ask him because I was thinking of doing the same...once I get the frame situation straightened out.

and his is a v6 too.

 

An 80 inch should be fine. I prefer the power angle for any of them. I'd go for the lightest possible. Your not gonna want to haul it around everywhere so make sure its a quick connect/disconnect.
Do a search online for your vehicle to see what is available then search for used.
