Default Snow plows for the Dakota

I was looking for a snow plow for our Wrangler and came across plows for the Dakotas as well. Not a heavy duty plow but good enough doing driveways.

I was also warned by the dealer when I bought it that a plow should never be put on. Or a fifth wheel.

Oh yeah, no worries there. My guess on the 5th wheels is more a matter of weight capacity. How many sub-7,000lb 5th wheel trailers are really out there?

I can't imagine why a Dakota couldn't handle small plowing. Why would you beable to put on front tow hooks?
