3500 will work just fine, as far as the plow goes 1000pd would be more then plenty just for that, but then if you got stuck it probably couldn't pull you out, I went with the 3500 at the time due to $ reasons just then, and it's still rated double what the viking weighsgoing to get a plow i know bigger is better but funds are low . will 3500 work ok ?or do i need 5000
