The 2 things that Dodge recomends you not to do w/ your Daks is,no slide in camper and plowing.I really don't see why you can't plow with them,they have the ***** so why not!
Slide in camper well that's understandable.
The thing is my Brother in-law wants to buy a Dak & wants to know the ins & outs of them also he has no internet access so he asked me to ask all of you.

Any body eles have want a say in the matter?

Trust me, do not attach a plow to your truck unless you plan on selling it in two years for next to nothing! Plowing kills trucks...period. In college I worked at a nursery which plowed in the winter. They had Ford 250's and those got trashed after two years. You could see all the damage to the front end it does. You'd be better off buying a cheap used full size and plowing with that...just my opinion...

actually yeah swerve your right. I remember about last year I was gonna buy a 97 ram that came with the plow with about 80k miles. People were telling me not to get it because the front end was probably shot.

It makes sense, you drive your truck as hard as you can into piles of ice rocks, and snow :-)

Anyways maybe when my truck is nearing 100k miles ill get a fiberglass plow or something. I love my dak too much to hurt it.
