4WD, weight should be close to a jeep, so why not.

I recall seeing a thread on another forum about this, bunch of posts of how it would not work, and 2 members chimed in with the setup, operating for some time.

Don't know how well it would work with a lot of wet snow, I seem to recall the other thread saying it was not too bad, just add in some weight over the rear axle, and off to the races.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think those had ranger frames and were rear wheel drive (in 2wd format) and the windstars were unibody w front wheel drive. So there should be a frame under it.

Aerostars were awesome! My parents had 2 (maybe 3) back to back (to back) before finally getting out first E-150.

According to wiki, it had a frame, but it was integrated into the unibody. Kind of a hybrid. Did allow for better weight carrying and towing.

I saw a brand new GMC Yukon XL with a full plow on it the other day. Complete with factory 20's

There's a fella around town here, next time I see him, I'll take a picture, but he's got a Fisher mounted to his FJ Cruiser.

Theres an H2 with a plow on it around here.

The strangest one Ive seen though was a 4x4 Chrysler 5th Avenue with a plow. It was on my local Craigslist last year.

Wow, now that is serious. I would think more so a Snoway on a FJ, but this is just pontification on the weight of a steel plow. Could be he needs the "full time" use of a steel plow, where what I have read ( again not fact ) is the Snoway is more of a home owner version.
