Dino,back in 93 when I bought the plow, Fisher sold push plates for all the small trucks and had a plow application for all of them.The 6.5 or 7 ft MMount was recommended for my truck at the time and it weighs less than the new 6.9LD.I have had no problems with the front end from the plow.I put new lower ball joints, pitman arm,and idler arm on it when I bought it with over 120K on it.I have friends with the same plow on a toyota,Ranger and a Nissan hardbody.The toy seems to handle the load best,the S10 is the only one that can go over 50 and not run hot and the ford's hubs and front end are not strong enough for plowing from what I've seen.They also need(must have) air bags in front springs or else they will just about drag the plow frame on ground(this is on a 84 with snowplow prep)The Nissan is pretty good but lacks power and its geared to high.It's wierd how today no one makes a plow and manufacturers do not offer a plow prep pkg for small trucks even though they cost almost as much as big ones.I think snow way is the only one who makes a plow,but it is expensive.I paid 1650 cash-n-carry when I bought mine in 93,A minute mount electric 6.5<p>----------<br>John D<br>
