Ford Repair: truck / snow plow, ford f 150, area 99

Question
Hi Tony,
I need a truck, plow, and sander for $20,000.
I have a 60 car parking lot in the White Mountains of NH.
I was thinking of a Ford F-150, 4.6L. I think Ford makes a good work truck and the 4.6L engine should be okay on gas. I am also looking for a truck that has never pushed or pulled anything and then mount a plow on it. My thought is it will last longer and hasn’t already been beat up by plowing or pulling.

I talked to a plow guy Online and he said be careful when purchasing an F-150, that not all trucks are capable of plowing.
He also said the F-150 isn’t strong enough to hold a sander.

What are your thoughts, and what should I be looking for in a truck so that a plow can be mounted.
Thank you,
Randy

Answer
Hello Randy, On a snow plow set up I don't have much experence in. I do know that when a truck is built Ford does have a snow plow package option to handle the extra stress put onto the suspension and frame. I don't know if there is a actual way to tell just by looking. I know in my area 99% are super dutys' with plow package. Hope this helps Thanks Tony
