My experiences with plow trucks is that the truck breaks down way more often than the plow. Depending on how much snow you get, how wet (heavy) it is, your truck may need constant maintenance. Pushing snow, snagging the blade, working the engine, transmission and running gear hard take a toll on the truck. If your snow is anything like Northeastern Washington State, you'd be better off with one plow and two trucks with minute mount set ups.
