RE: Snowplow anyone?
Here is one a friend of mine bought. It mounts by a hitch system and can be used on the front or rear of the truck. It only weighs like 200 lbs or so mounted. It doesn't have any hydraulics though, so it's either straight or angled all the time.

RE: Snowplow anyone?
Thanks for all the replies everyone. I know the suspension isn’t the best on our trucks but they are built fairly well IMO. I bought my truck as a “utility vehicle”, meaning I got the options so that it can do “work”. I have pulled trailer close to the max limit (7000 lbs) and the truck handled it well. If doing 3-4 “city” driveways a storm kills it I will be shocked. It may not be the toughest front end but it’s far from the weakest. I don’t abuse the vehicle I just use them for work. I have seen these trucks plow plenty of snow….. Municipalities use them!
I actually just purchased a Snowbear ”homeowner” plow it weighs 225 lbs and I think it will suit my needs fine. Anyway, the deal was too good to pass up (end of season clearance). I considered the Snowsport also, but the plow part only weighs like 60lbs…
The only other plows I had seen on a newer Dakotas were the Fishers (not the homesteader). For some reason they had to cut the lower lip of the front bumper! Not willing to do this! I wish I had seen MTBMopar’s truck because it looks like he didn’t have to modify the front. But since I paid less for a new plow than I paid for my snow blower 2 years ago I cant complain….
Here is photo from the Fisher website.
