In your price range, in a gas Ford (if that's the way you're leaning), your choices will be the 5.4L V8 or the 6.8L V10. They're essentially similar, just two more cylinders. In 2005 they added 3 valve-per-cylinders and variable valve timing. A lot more power, from either engine, without really impacting fuel economy. It did add complexity, and you have to watch out for failed cam phasers.
My comment about plowing being hard on the truck wasn't about your future light use, but its historical, potentially hard use. Buyer beware.
Are you thinking Regular Cab, Super Cab, Crew Cab? Short Box, Long Box?
