Lots of coastal people weighing in here...
Take it from a guy that actually lives where it snows, don't buy a snowplow just to plow your driveway.
Unless you are planning on plowing out all of your neighbors, just buy a snowblower and keep your tow rig... a tow rig.
You will be money ahead, and you can still clear your walkways.
Also, I have a 7.3 F350. I love it, but I agree that chevy options are good as well.

7.3 F-250 Manual
I saw this in person last night. Very clean underneath. Needs a new exhaust, unless you like the ignorant white-trash pipes coming out the bed.

Other than that, I had the same (2001) truck, and it was a great truck. But I didn't beat the **** out of mine.

For a tow vehicle I'm with the majority- I'd go with automatic over manual. Need to ask my boss for a bonus, because I'm pretty sure I'd rather go with a truck or 3/4ton SUV than a van....

I want the van to sleep in, and so I have a vehicle to make my bondagevan.com videos in.

The truck verse van debate comes down to, where are you going to sleep. If you are cool with sleeping in a tent, enclosed trailer, or getting a hotel then truck all the way. If you want to sleep in the vehicle then the van is a bit easier to do that in.

Can't help you with the whole bondagevan thing though... you're on your own there.

Cons are it weighs (packed and wet) nearly as much as our NA and NC combined and they're expensive.
Pros are I have a place to stay anywhere I go, I can use it as an extra guest bedroom if needed (kids love it!), and it's considered a 2nd house for tax purposes, so there are some write offs.
The pic above was taken on a trip to Utah last month. Hauled the NC up, parked in an RV park and lit out every day in the NC to go hiking in Bryce, Zion, Canyonlands, and Arches Nat'l parks.
