Drove an old Scout with a plow on it for a guy years ago.
Front end piled up so until we could get parts for it we put a set of cable chains on the rear and loaded the back up with weight.
In my opinion the truck had better traction in 2wd with the cables than it ever did with just 4x4.
Lots of raising and lowering of the plow dictated needing the biggest batteries and alternator you could get to keep up with the electrical demand of the hydraulic pump.
A transmission cooler is a must if the truck has an automatic.
As would be a plow that can be angled hydraulically.
I have known quite a few that have gone belly up because of not enough snow and as others have mentioned check the cost of insurance before you do anything.
Another nice option is a winch so when, not if, you get hung up on a snowbank you can pull yourself off instead of trying to find assistance at 3:00 AM.
