Generally speaking plowing works better when you have a bigger, heavier vehicle.  My neighbor pushes snow with a 80's Ford Bronco II and it gets kinda comical sometimes when the BII just isn't big enough to move the pile of snow he has built up.  Then he has to sorta whittle away the edges.

Considered getting an old beater truck to save the wear and tear on the XL7?  It's HARD on a vehicle.

Hi all, I am only home on weekends so as much as I would like to, fooling around with an old plow truck won't do, I just don't have the time.  I have mounted a snowbear on this xl7 and will keep you posted on how it functions.  I dosn't hinder the front suspension as I thought it may.  I can't raise it all the way as it blocks the head lights.  I will say the plow is simple, rugged, and light weight.  Just what my back needed.  I agree, plowing is hard on a vehicle, and one must be extremely careful and not push the truck beyond itself.  It is what it is, and I will keep all posted with a pic in case others are interested in trying the same.  cheers... ;D
