Replying to my own post... hehe
Anyways, after reading other posts on this, Meyer's is the other major
company that i was thinking about.
As for your engine choice, i'd go with the 360, you will want the extra
torque with a deep and wet layer of snow, VERY heavy...
And please get a 4wd, if you get stuck on a patch of ice (or even mud)
spinning your rear tires, with a heavy blade on the front, you won't be
going anywhere with 2wd.
And i will re-iterate what others have said about the extra wear-and-tear on
your truck from plowing. Plowing snow is really brutal on your truck,
especially when you are tired, you will make bad decisions, push too much
snow, bounce over a curb, etc., etc...
Just a few things for you to keep in mind before you become one of the few,
the proud, the overly tired snow plow drivers of N. America. :)
