What kind of used truck can I get for snow plowing?
I'm interested in buying a truck intended for plowing snow on residential driveways in the Western NY area. I intend to do 60 driveways for the winter for the initial year. My budget is limited to $20,000. I was looking at some Ford F-250s, but my friend told me all I needed was a Ford F-150 or a Silverado if I went with Chevy. Any suggestions?
An F150 Dodge 1500 or Silverado 1500 will due the job. But if your going work it that hard a 3/4 ton or 1 ton will handle it better. When you put a plow on the front you add a lot of weight to front of truck.
The 3/4 ton or 1 ton has heavier steering and brakes and will take it better. Also most have heavier transmissions in them also. Do as you like but I wouldn't use a 1/2 ton Also with a 3/4 or 1 ton you can add a sand spreader to the bed if you like.
Snow plowing is heavy service for trucks I use the f250 or even a 350 better bigger that too small do you tow trailers? Used a chevy half ton too light and 4 transmissions later I learned spinning tires then hitting pavement while towing/plowing good by trans!
- Since Ford was helpless to use her brain to get the attention she wanted, isn't it great she can play dumb & say her body was used? To get a book that sells? "My only witness denies the event and I don't know anyone else that went to the party… And I don't know how I got home… I was such a loner that I had ZERO friends that noticed I was traumatized or that I could tell. I was drunk for 3 years and hated my parents but look at me now… I have authoritah!

- What used car can I get that would stand out under $7000 I'm a senior in high school and me and my parents are going half and half on a car. I want to get a used car that stands out from others but isn't over $7000. Cars I've already considered are the Dodge Dart, Honda Accord Coupe, Volkswagen CC Sport, Ford Fusion '10, Nissan Altima Coupe, Chrysler 300. Any other suggestions? If you can't help going over the $7000 range please don't exceed $8000.
