What car for this weeks business idea! AKA I know the "answer", just reaffirming.

With my perpetual boredom at work and entrepreneurial spirit, I've been daydreaming of my own business, and with a little help from a magazine, I've got some more ideas brewing.

I'm looking for a truck with the ability to:

Carry a ladder

Haul a smallish trailer.

Be able to run a snow plow.

Reliable, with ease of parts.

Preferably be able to haul a small family if need be.

Basically I'm thinking most any truck or SUV would do the trick. I'm not above vans, or even 1G Caravans (thanks, Vigo) but if there's enough snow to need clearing, I think that a FWD van may not cut it. But, we don't get much snow here at all, so that may be a moot point.

Find a crew f150 4x4 and go to work. You can find one cheaper than this example.

how often will you be using the snow plow, and how hard will you be using it? because if you get huge amounts of snow and have a big driveway, i wouldn't get anything less than a 3/4 ton for that aspect of the job if you want it to last for more than a few years.

The most snow I've seen recently total would be probably be 12" to 16" over the whole winter, which here in the mid-south, lasts from late november to early march. Keep in mind, lots of people here have a crazy fear of snow and lose their minds with like 3." These people CANNOT drive on snow.

My driveway isn't big at all but I'm looking into doing it for other folks, to supplement some income during the winter, if it ever snows again down here.

I feel so proud at this moment.
