    You'll be fine with that rig. Although, unless you are really good at plowing, you might wanna be dressed to constantly get out and shovel. As for plows, I use a Western 7'-6" MIDWEIGHT with a joystick. I bought it 2 years ago brand new from a guy for $2,200. Obviously my Duramax has no problems with power, but with combined experience and this plow, I rarely have to get out to shovel. Western by opinion is the best snow plow company.

    Using that for driveway would be a hassle. I'd use a fourwheeler with a plow or a snowblower. That would be what you used on streets, alleys, parking lots, etc. The truck would be good for plowing though if 4-wheel drive!

    Not sure you want to use that to plow driveways. Sort of a pain to be honest. Better to get a small bobcat if your only using it for drvieways
