Yeah, all that crap about IFS was just that. A friend has plowed with two Chevy 2500s both to over 100K doing nearly 50 residential driveway using a Fischer 9 foot V plow. Never had to touch front ends on either. Personally I've had the best luck with my 2014 Ram Power Wagon. Over 200k with only general maintenance. And with the electric lockers, it's the best winter weenie vehicle for those like me that love driving during winter storms
