For one thing the frame in the front isn't made for the abuse of a plow, the front suspension isn't either, and I read, I think in the owners manual, that the 1500 has front airbag sensors and can be thrown off by the plow.

It would sure would be nice though.

I just starting looking and most big plow companies have at least one small blade for SUV/light pickups.

Has anybody heard of putting a plow on something newer with an warranty like the extended warranty, factory warranty, or lifetime warranty and getting away with it or the dealership not caring?
