They are all over the place in northeast Wisconsin when I ride my snowmobile. You see a lot of people with Rangers, S-10s and Jeep Wrangers who use them for plowing. Any place that sells snowplows should be able to hook you up with one.
Meanwhile, back on topic...Yes, you can plow with an F-150, but its really hard on it. You would want some kind of helper springs for the front suspension to support the added weight of the plow. Even then, IMO its just not a truck thats built strong enough to extreme heady-duty use like that.
For about the same amount of money you could just buy an F-250 instead of an F-150 and have a truck that is actually built for extreme heavy-duty use.
