I would only use this for my driveway and only when absolutely needed. Going slow and only doing a little at a time. Would this be possible?

Jeff,

Absolutely, but make sure it isn't a large plow. I did the same with an old Jeep Cherokee and for the past 10 years, I used my Dakota. The only concern is if you hit something hard enough, it could deploy the airbag. It would be a good idea to remove the fuse from the system. The airbag light will be on, but it shouldn't deploy if something happens.

I don't know if you already have a plow, but don't get anything too heavy. The vehicle really isn't designed to have something heavy on the front. After you plow, I would remove it for normal driving.

If you haven't gotten one, check out the Snowbear plows. They are light-duty and would be a good choice. Mine has worked perfectly for 18 years. My driveway is 800' and I always end up plowing have the neighbors' driveways as well. LOL

If you have any questions or if I can help in any way, let me know. Also, check out this link.

I have nothing to do with Snowbear, so I'm not trying to sell anything. However, I thought you may like to see what I have used.

Take care of yourself and let me know if I can help.
