You can plow with pretty much any vehicle. I have a plow on my quad but it sucks. There is not enough weight = traction to be of any real use for significant snowfall.
First off, anyone who thinks that plowing will not harm, damage, change ride quality or have any effect what-so-ever on their truck is a fool. The plow weight has a dramatic effect on your springs and front suspension. Tranny, tranny and tranny. Ramming a snow bank will do wonders for your frame.
IMO, I would not use a nice/new truck like yours and put it thru the abuse for a couple of bucks. If you do choose to, you should add beefier front springs. Some people will tell you that if you go with a poly plow that you are better off (weight wise). This is not true in almost ever case. They end up beefing up the supports behind the moldboard which in turn adds more weight than an all metal plow.
How much snow do you get in your area? We have been averaging about 100 inchs / year here in the Boston Area.
